I'm pleased to announce we've finally updated our rates and expanded our specials. Hourly game time is now $6.00 an hour for a single person. In addition to the lower hourly rate we now offer day passes at $20.00, week passes at $60.00 and month passes at $120.00. To my knowledge this is as close as we'll get to a memership, for now at least. We've also updated our group rates to reflect the new hourly changes. For two to four players it's $5.00 per hour (for each player), for five or more it's $4.00 an hour and for twelve and more it's $3.00 an hour.

We're also introducing new daily specials which have reduced rates for particular games. They are as follows: Monday - Madden ($3.00/Hour), Tuesday - Team Fortress 2 ($3.00/Hour), Wednesday - World of Warcraft ($3.00/Hour), Thursday - Buy 2 Hours Get 1 Hour Free, Friday - Game of The Day ($3.00/Hour), Saturday - Classic Games ($2.00/Hour), and Sunday - Super Smash Bros. ($3.00/Hour).

Update: Left 4 Dead 2 Tournament has been pushed back to the 30th due to scheduling conflicts.

Congratulations to our winners and once again thanks to everyone who showed up and made this possible. Did the fliers help with promotion this time around?

I'd also like to point out some updates to our ever expanding game library. As far as new releases go we now have six copies of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 for the PC, Demon's Soul for the PlayStation 3, and Resident Evil: Darkside Chronicles for the Wii. Some not so new titles include Mario Galaxy, The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, Ikaruga, Viewtiful Joe 2, WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$!, Mega Man 3, Madden NFL 2010, Lost Odyssey, and Grand Theft Auto IV (including he new DLC).

And as you've probably figured out by stuff breaking occasionally I'm in the process performing some maitenance to the website.
