Project Reality Mod is having an internal scrim on Saturday, March 29 at 2 p.m. EDT, and sign-up is still open. Teams are full, but there's a good chance you'll get to play if you get on the reserve list early!

Sign up is expected to open soon for the Official PR Mod Tournament. There's quite a bit of interest here at TG, so squad up!

PR Mod password nights are scheduled for this Thursday, March 7 and Sunday, March 10, at 3:00 p.m. EDT. These nights have traditionally featured very high quality gameplay, and generally reduce the ratio of pubbie minded players to hardcore players significantly.

Speaking of PoE2, the mod's developers released news update #120 last week. Included are comments on changes to tank HUDs and a fix for kit icons in the squad menu.

Counter-Strike: Source PCS Lockdown night on Friday, March 7. Fridays are PCS Lockdown Day. All day on Friday, Server 1 will have a password. Please see the announcement in the CS:S forum for more information.

Frontlines: Fuel of War is really taking off here at TG. If you have the game on either PC or XBox 360, stop in the forum and introduce yourself!

Bc2ID in the TG Team Fortress 2 community is looking for two good men to play in a scrim vs. Focused Gaming. PM Bc2ID if you're interested. The scrim is this Thursday, March 6 at 8:00 p.m. EST.
