Vince isn't making an appearance in this bit-o-news:

• beat 3d win $50! if you think you have what it takes ultimate arena is holding a "beat 3d" competition on wednesday, september 24, from 9pm - 12pm (edt). it's totally free but you will need an account. give it a shot.
  
  
  
  
• serverspy.net has now included valve's new steam master server for halflife 1 to its database. so now you can search both won and steam based servers with ease!
  
  
  
  
• want a new look for your steam client? steam skinners is up and running with an assortment of skins for you to check out.
  
  
  
  
• wondering about won and steam? steampowered.com gives a little insight on the future of half-life authentication:

  there seems to be a lot of confusion over the proposed plan to pull the plug on won. won will be available until the steam service is working the way it was intended to. we will not simply pull the plug. if you wish to, you can reinstall half-life (if necessary) and play counter-strike 1.5 the way you always have.

"Steam"

The steam skinners thing is cool, CSN should put something up like that.

[MikeJ]

who's gonna do the team 3D thingy? btw, the way i get is it's just 3 random ppl vs. 3 members of 3D? because i don't see how u can have an organized team of 3 vs 3D... maybe i read it wrong, so feel free to correct me.



i might give it a try... is it 1.5 or 1.6? :|

The picture just doesn't do it justice. Download it. Now.

The steam skins thing is kind of lame if you ask me. I mean it's good that there is a source to download that stuff for the people who wouldn't know how to make them otherwise. But it's really just changing the colors of the base GUI. No real "skinning" involved. Winamp 3 skinning is a totally different subject though.

Is that supposed to be AM, or is the competition really 15 hours long?

I know this is massively off topic, but I just found this link posted in the Steam forums. It has to be the most funny "Juvenile/racist/homophobic/schoolboy w4nk fantasy" CS site I have ever seen. All the 1.6 related comments include at least one word concerning "gay", "faggot", "Jew" etc. When they aren't harping on about how much school blows



Best site ever, shame about the content though but the design isn't that bad :)



Just to really pique your interest, their review of 1.6 begins.....



"Counter Strike 1.6 is gay. Let me count the ways:"



GO BOYS, GOGOGO!
