Tonight is NAG Gaming Night! This time it's for all those PC-owning, Steam-loving, MW3-playing people. But this won't be any ordinary night, oh no. We'll be running customised game modes with weird classes. Think rocket launchers, think riot shields, think no sniper rifles what-so-absolutely-ever. If that sounds like something you'd enjoy, then add GeometriX_ZA to your Steam friends list and await an invitation (first come first serve). The games kick off at 8pm tonight (that's Wednesday the 15th). See you there!

PS: Tarryn will be running the XBL Gaming Night tonight as well for all of our Gears of War 3 players.

From next week, NAG will be hosting a regular Gears of War 3 night on Xbox LIVE, so you'll finally get your chance to curb stomp Tarryn and Miklós. Put an omen on your calendars for Wednesday 8 February at 20:00, add Tarryn (nXtrmS) and Miklós (Mikit0707) to your Xbox LIVE friend lists, and get your chainsaws greased.

The following week we will host a CoD MW3 game session on Steam. Details can be found on our Facebook Page https://www.facebook.com/NAGMagazine

GET READY TO GET YOUR GAME ON!

If you haven’t already driven your mom/dad/gaming widow/widower/boss completely round the bend to secure your ticket to the NAG LAN @ rAge, you better start – and soon! Tickets to the biggest BYOC (Bring your Own Computer) LAN in South Africa are going on sale at Computicket on 01 August 2011 at midnight. Sold out in less than 36 hours last year, the NAG LAN @ rAge is the highlight of thousands of gamers’ annual pilgrimage to the rAge Expo at the Coca-Cola Dome in Jozi!

This year 2196 spots will be available in the LAN for avid gamers, who will be transported to gaming glory with 53 hours of non-stop intense battle from 30 September to 02 October 2011. Jamming titles such as StarCraft 2, Call of Duty Black Ops, League of Legends, and pretty much any game you can LAN, you can be sure there’s something for everyone. So best you gather your clan buddies, or brothers-in-arms, for gaming rapture.

With mainline sponsor, Alienware, HP Networking powering the network, and Intel taking care of the servers, there are loads of awesome competitions, freebies and general goodies for the LAN gamers at this year’s event. That’s not even considering the wonders available on the expo floor for 3-days of leisurely pre-Christmas listing.

To avoid the devastation of missing the gaming goat (say what?) make sure you stay up to get your ticket to NAG LAN @ rAge on sale at Computicket for R300 p/p (yup – no increase again, complements of the gaming gurus at NAG ) from 1 August 2011.
