Hey guys, just a few things to let you know what's going on.  First of all, tonight is the return of Hamr`d Night.  It is hosted on [____Hamr`d____] 205.162.51.11:27015.  During Hamr`d nights, many skul`shock regulars get together just for fun, drinking, fragging, and overall general debauchery.  Mics are encouraged.  

Skul`Shock has also been moving into new directions.  Skul`Shock Jungle and Skul`Shock Get Ready To Rumble has closed it's doors.  This is good news and bad news,  Both places have provided a home for many of many players.  However, with HL2DM starting to lose popularity and our member/player base getting too thinned out over too many SS HL2DM servers, these events will help consolidate our HL2DM player base.  Eventually it will be our goal to only have three SS HL2DM servers left ([____Skul`Shock____] (owner: Dirty`Dave), [____Skul`Shock Teamplay____] (owner: Vordhosbn`), [____Skul`Shock Regulars____] (owner: Rogue77`).

With some of our HL2DM servers closing their doors, Skul`shock has been emerging into other games such as TF2 [____Skul`Shock Fortress____] 205.162.51.9:27015 and our newest endeavor Left 4 Dead.  So far, we currently have one dedicated server running for L4D.  It is only a demo ded server and can be found at 205.162.51.9:27035 [____Skul`Shock L4D____].  Once the demo is shut down and the official is released 11/18/08, Skul`Shock will have two dedicated servers running.  One will be in "advanced" multiplayer campaign mode (4 player slot).  The other one will be in versus mode (survivors vs zombies 8 player slot).  So far, with many responses from Skul`Shock dedicated regulars this game has been very impressive and may recieve a very large player base.  So far, there were more players playing the demo servers then all the players in counter-strike: source and also had more preorders then the Valve Orangebox combined.  We hope you guys check out this game!

Also, I cannot emphasize how important its is for players to participate in the website and forum.  Our community is very welcoming and you can meet great people here.  Being involved with people in the forums allows you to have a completely different experience playing on the servers.  It is more fun and more about the people then the game!  So, come visit us http://skulshockcommunity and participate in the forums http://skulshockcommunity.com/home/forum by signing up, telling us who you are, and checking and writing in them daily/weekly!!

I would like to thank each and everyone of you for making Skul`Shock what it is today.  We have come a long way since the days of Shell`Shock.  Hope to see many of you soon!

Hey guys, we want to be one of the first DED Servers for L4D. If you guys don't know what Left 4 Dead is, it's Valve's newest baby. You can view their websites here: http://www.l4d.com/, http://www.left4dead411.com/ Skul`Shock is pretty much the most popular servers in HL2DM. We kind of missed our opportunity with CS:S, and TF2 coming in so late. So, with L4D right around the corner, we want Skul`Shock to be one of the first servers for L4D. When people join for the first time and browse the servers..we want them to see Skul`Shock front and center.

I need a team of dedicated server managers and administrators to help me with the server testing and customization, and a crew that would be dedicated to expanding the word not only across our community but many gaming communities! Skul`Shock will not die!!!, and this is why we need you. Let's Represent!! PM, respond, or email me! Love you guys!

  • Complaints from noobs;
  • Increased skill level;

  • Play time on Skul`Shock Servers;
  • Making the game fun for others 

Multi-kills and headshots will definitely get you noticed, but spawn-killing and abusing the mic will be frowned upon!

Smogboy

This week's Player of the Week is Smogboy!
  Smogboy is a long-term dedicated member of the Skul`Shock Community and regularly plays on SS Regulars.  He is also one of Skul`Shock's distinguished older members.  His calm demeanor, intelligence and ability to lead by example set him immediately above the rest.  He is a friend to many and always involved in the community whether it be in the servers, on the forums or representing the Hamr`Clan.  Smogboy as player of the week just makes sense as he embodies what it means to be a Skul`Shock`Regular.  A semi-retired Microsoft programmer, Smogboy's fingerprints are all over Windows 98.  He is a member of Team {RW} and an all-around good guy.  Smogboy can kick some butt and does not hesitate to take a break from fragging to help out the new members.  He just got back from a trip to the Netherlands and may still be experiencing jet-lag, which should help some of us get some killer screen shots.
 
Congratulations to Smogboy.  With that being said ...
 
Let the killings begin!!!!
 
Would you play on a Skul`Shock normal settings server?
 
Should Skul`Shock disable the flashlight?
 
Which crosshairs do you use for HL2DM?
