With our talismanic leader Smiddi unable to be there it was up to the remainder of the clan to give the lemmings what they really wanted - a cliff to jump off. Using MrX’s favourite map, Dustbowl, we knew we could do the job. The game was shoutcasted so we knew we had to put in a top effort. Two top blokes in Chalice and BoratJr were unable to play have signed up after the challenge so we bid them farewell as we entered the arena…

Our first assignment was defence and we hurriedly scrambled into position. While Krepidus and Farmy frantically worked on building our prime sentry gun, the rest of us faced up as privates. Unfortunately, the start sequence ended up just like Private Ryan with MrX and Gazza being blown up after the siren. Randomizer and Bageled held the point as long as they could and survived some of the storm but it was no use. Like arguing against your wife, the point was conceded very quickly. Valiantly we strived to respawn in time to recover the second point but their heavies, soldiers, medics and pyros were … still alive and they capped it in 2 minutes.

Round two started with much fanfare. Karnage took up sniping position at the rear while again Farmy worked to get our sentry up. The blare of the siren burnt our ears as MrXand Gazza raced forward again hoping to wreak havoc. Instead a cleverly built sentry in the trench blasted us high into the air nullifying the uber. Krepidus fired shots into the ground but was no match for the bulldozer of several men. Again Randomizer and Bageled slowed them down with an uber on the point but their lack of close team mates meant that their resistance was temporary. We took up defensive positions for the second point but not enough of us had respawned to challenge them. The fourth point was earnt with another minute on the clock.

Without reflecting on the first two losses we then regrouped and commenced our defence on the third map. This time Farmy managed to get his sentry up to a decent level. Krepidus hung back like a rotten grape at the bottom of the fruit bowl, letting his rockets do the talking. Then Randomizer and Bageled stepped up. With their first uber they bought enough time for the first sentry to start taking down blu meanies. At that point we saluted our achievement for we were forcing them to respawn. The first wave had been defeated. Their second wave was strong and forced MrX to use his uber and again took down their attack. This forced them to regather as fear crept into their team. What if the mighty DI had gifted them a four-point headstart and they could not rise to the challenge? In earnest they struggled on their third wave and finally broke through on the left. With fierce determination they won the point and then rolled forward. With pursed lips we valiantly regrouped at the second point. Gazza switched into spy mode to disrupt their attack but it was no use. A professional team, they mopped up the final point leaving us with the challenge, 6 points in 6 minutes.

Farmy switched into heavy mode to give us a fatter attack line. We split our troops and then surged forward in a frenzy. Lemmings were scared and they knew it. In our first wave MrX broke through into the point and broke up the sentry. In the next wave we cleaned up and had met the first object, 1 point in a minute. However, our success was shortlived as they set up shop on the second point. Our attack was never able to break through their front line troops and as the time ticked down we knew… revenge would have to wait! A 6-1 loss hurt but we cried to ourselves - how well would we have gone with another player? There’s only one way to find out how this story ends - be there next time when Smiddi leads us to victory!

With Death Inc sitting on the ladder at position #25, it was time to successfully defend our title and prove that we deserved it, and with SUPER having their A team in the top 5 Our expectations of their “B side” were high.

We arrived on the server to a welcome surprise, 2 shoutcasters by the name of Jedi and Cholestorol were there to shoutcast the match for Net Game Radio.

When all Our members were ready to go the battle was underway, The first round was over in the blink of an eye, Jakes getting a killer nade that devestated 2 of their players and killing off another 2 after that with his lethal MP5, Tex was there to clean up the scraps with a handy last kill leaving their team dead before all of us could get in position. The onslaught did not stop there, Every postion was locked down by the DI team, they didn’t have a chance to penetrate our defence. Our confidence was high after a few rounds, perhaps a little too high, a blundered nade by Patman saw him commit suicide in an unfortunate but hilarious way. At the half we were confident victory was assured with the scores being 9-1 DI’s way.

After a short break and an interchange blunder with SUPER having 6 players on the server at the one time, the second half was underway. Patman made sure they stayed away from the middle flank while Alex lead the charge to the A building with success almost every time. Our performance in the second half slipped as we tried new and impulsive strats, our 2 charges down the right hand flank ended in disaster as communication between our players failed, with the scores being 11-3 DI were assured victory, however the game was not over. Bray-182’s scope assured that there was no entrance through the right hand flank. With Jakes back after a long break he wanted the final round to himself to take all the glory of team downing SUPER Villans. While we waited at spawn for Jakes to own the enemy a shock was delivered, Jakes dies without killing anyone, with Jakes down we were inspired to win this last round, we charged forward but were soon cut down and it was up to Tex to finish the round off. Tensions were high, it was 1v1…silence…Tex ran up the stairs to an unexpected SUPER player and POW, a violent swinging arm delivered a knife in the face. With the final score being 13-7 to Death inc.

The victory assured us a 48 hour protected status and the ability to challenge Specialists for 19th spot on the ladder.

On behalf of Death Inc i would like to thank Net Game Radio for shoutcasting our match and look forward to seeing them again in the future, hope you enjoyed the show!

As many of the Death Inc members are aware, my line of work is Information Technology, and as an experienced Blackberry admin, and a Converged Devices Specialist, there is nothing I like more than smartphones.

For a while now I’ve been a detractor of the iPhone, it calls itself a smartphone but is lacking many of the key features which would make it comparable to the holy grail of smartphones - the Blackberry, or just about any other smartphone (Windows Mobile, Symbian devices etc). Even with the release of the new “iPhone 3G S” Apple still hasn’t addressed several of the device’s shortcomings.

With all this in mind, I give you CollegeHumor’s tongue-in-cheek advertising campaign for the new iPhone 3G S:

With the new PR patch out DeathInc arrived on the battlefield eager to see the new improvements in action. In the background we could hear Bageled giggling and stroking his new and improved Machine Gun that now had a scope attached.

The countdown began and our team spawned…then died…spawned…then died…seems like they hadn’t set up the server correctly and anyone with a specialist kit died instantly…so they reset the server. Read more…

Death Inc’s expectations were high as we entered the battle. After coming off a hurtful loss, DI was hungry for vengance. Death Inc took an early lead in the first half 2-0, SG thought they could hide but were proven mere morsels when playing the game of “chicken” with Tex, they didnt know what hit them. Psycho showing them all how to flank from the side, getting a kill or two. When the smoke settled and bloody wounds healed, Death Inc emerged victors at the half way point 7-3, much to the delight of the team. Read more…
