Multiplay pulls an all-nighter to be ready for i49

Faith August 23, 2013 Channel, Software & Gaming

Preparing for the arrival of around 5,000 people for a party takes some doing. It also takes some cable, some electricity and some man/girl-power.

It also takes a lot of energy drinks, ice cream and other anti-diabetic ingestions.

If we tell you that for Multiplay i49, there are EIGHTEEN THOUSAND portions of ice cream ready to be sole, you'll get an idea of the scale of this event.

First up, here's a shot from Facebook of Yvonne and Tom Fletcher stocking the tuck shop:-

KitGuru says: These events cost money, blood, sweat and tears – but that's why they have been working so well for over 16 years. More power to them (and more visitors come i50 in November).

KitGuru Games: Omni-movement culminates 30 years of FPS innovation

Black Ops 6 is officially here, bringing the innovative new Omni-movement system to the game. While on the surface a relatively simple change, I argue that Treyarch intimately studied DOOM and the past 30 years of first-person shooter evolution to craft one of the most satisfying gameplay systems yet.
