Remember when I told you about Geek Fest – the local (Joburg) event happening at the end of August? We are excited about this event, particularly because of robot wars. And now there’s even more reason to be excited!
All you need to do is come up with an awesome name for your robot, and you can get free entry! According to the event page:
Hey robo warriors. We will be giving away 6 free entries into the robo war tournament to the teams that comes up with the most awesome robot name. You can post your team names here https://www.facebook.com/events/143052779216387/ and Dark Carnival will judge who will receive the prize.
While we work furiously to build a robot ourselves, we are still keeping the call open – anyone who wants to build a robot for us will gain body armor of Lazygamer stickers! No really, we want to put our stickers on your robot and watch it destroy everything. Please let us know if you have any robot building skills or desires. You can even find all the cool toys to use here.
So, what robot names do you propose? Swirling saw blade demon? Hatchet of doom? Wall-Evil? C’mon everyone, pull together on this!

If ya like MMO’s. If you were to imagine an FF MMO, that’s what it is (as obvious as it sounds). It has a strong main campaign, and very good PvE.
