Midnight Evil

CALLING ALL OLD MEMBERS!!!!

I need any demos that you all may have stored on your drives of any mEm footage. catch me on steam or whatever, I’m trying to get enough footage together to make a mEm movie.. as I’ve found a way to view old demos.

Midnight Evil update… 66% Hanging up the spurs

It’s 4:39am and I can’t sleep for SHIT, so I’ve decided to update you all (ie. whoever even still comes here, which is probably no fucker) on current affairs and latest goings on with mEm™. Just before Christmas around September we tried to kick mEm of again with a new line-up which infact looked very promising Rig, Phunky, Bullet, Burchy, Heapy, Splatio with no D as we usually would as D does not play competitive CSS any longer, all was going very well after several boot camps and training things where starting to look bright until the mEm curse kicked in again … unfortunately it wasn’t to be I myself had a very unlucky few months and had to stop playing, due to moving house, due to me playing such a vital role in the team we’ve decided to call it a draw for now, in fact myself along with D has decided to call it the ultimate draw and never play competitively at this game again, I am truly hanging up my spurs, to play competitively these days means to be very dedicated due to the level of quality out there, gaming has come along way in the last 10 years since I first start playing dial up quake 1 and red alert, its classed as a sport now despite what anyone says and unless you have a lot of free time and no cares in the world your going to struggle to keep up with the best out there. I believe Phunky is concentrating on his career and is laying off competitive gaming for a while(we’ve all gotta grow up sometime! all 3 of us are 26! scary!)

mEm however will still carry on in some form or other, we may in fact do another fun LAN someday that would depend on a lot though, in some form or other mEm will be around for along time yet, I can’t tell you how exactly, we will also consider selling the mEm™ brand for around 30 million sterling if anyone is interested….

Remmember kids your not Evil, unless your MidnightEvil.

SteelSeries Announces Professional Gaming Mice

It would seem the guys at SteelSeries have gone and done something i’ve been hoping they would do for quite some time, they have gone away and used the contacts to develop there very own gaming mouse

The SteelSeries Ikari Optical was designed as a no-bullshit, top performer for FPS gamers. The research and development emphasized a “no nonsense, no crap” approach with proven optical technology that allows gamers consistent, fast movements without technical difficulties of any kind.

The SteelSeries Ikari Laser mouse was specifically designed for RTS and MMO gamers in mind that features programmable macros and custom settings designed to increase the users Actions Per Minute (APM) count. The mouse can be programmed from home and will remember the settings for tournament use even without installing drivers.

#mEm.Lan 6 - What would you like??

First off i would like to apologies for the lack of updates with details about #mEm.Lan 6, a few certain things have popped up since the last event which forced us to look at things in greater depth before jumping straight into the next event.

But now that is out of the way we have the ability to start looking forward to the next event and this is where we would like you input.

With all the large upcoming lan events in August we have been thinking of offering a bootcamp service for teams that are looking at playing at i31 and CGS Combine.

We was thinking of running the next #mEm.Lan the weekend before i31 so that teams could have a nice practise run before hand.

Now of course this would mean that we would only be looking at doing CS:S the entire weekend but we will of course still stick up the off Warsow or Rune server (or anything else you want) for when your not playing CS:S

So we would like to know what you think about this? Do you want a i31 warmup event? or would you rather we wait till after August and just go for another Fun #mEm.lan?

The choice is yours!

Please leave a comment with your thoughts!
