at work for 2 days :P

Had to leave early for work :( quite a happenin' place though :p
Very friendly, good games, top quality computers.
Would be nice to not have to change CDs everytime I wanted to switch games, but I understand the reasoning why.
Very fast internet, too bad I didn't have anything to download :P
Velocity Gaming's Computers are still in their setting up stage, so theres a bit of tweaking yet to be done. The WolfClaw Keyboard is weird. I suppose if you learn how to use it, it might help you game better. However it seemed to me that the keyboard was geared towards a certain game, and I don't think I was playing any of them. Luckily there's the standard keyboard to the side, which I found was better for some games.
Overall I found this to be a very posivtive and fun experiance. Battlinard managed to get a BF2 battle going on, which I unfortunetly had to leave on (it should still be going on:)). I would highly recommend everyone to try it out, and bring your friends and family! :D

Thanks for feedback DVD!

Today will be open as long as people want to play and everyone is having fun.
Eight machines firing with Battlefield 2 at the moment.
You will need to use.... the secret entrance if you come down after 3pm...

Had a good time, me and one bloke smashed Batt and his mate pretty bad in a game of bf2, they had us at the start, but once i got into the swing of things and coordinated with my team. i think it was 100 - 0 :) for tickets.
Overall the place has some excellent potential, rooms are well setup and it is close to all the facilities you need - excellent chinese place outside.
Thanks for the good time

That is all.
Post 24
There are some guys coming down for some Battlefield 2 in the next hour or two.
There are spare seats.
Secret entrance is in Austin Lane.
Austin Lane is between Cavenagh Street and Smith Street Mall.
There is ONE covered "walkway" over Austin Lane.
At one end of that covered walkway there is a small four car carpark.
In that carpark is a door.
Thats the secret entrance.
Don't tell anyone.
It's a secret.
I will be away for next 30 minutes.
Back at 7pm.
All welcome for free evening of LAN gaming!

10:30 Saturday night and everyone has just left.
I am free to do some everquesting!
Thanks everyone who turned up today/tonight to have a look and a play!
Please just leave a message here telling people what you thought, improvements, comments etc.
Unofficially we can start taking paying customers now but as all bugs arent ironed out, we will be flexible on times.
Cost at this stage is $5.00 an hour, prepaid.
At this stage we are flexible. Once I am 100% confident its all set up and running properly, I will start proper timekeeping.
If you want to book/reserve a computer, please contact me in person, by phone 0416 620 558 or on [email]battlinard@hotmail.com[/email].
Feel free to add me to messenger and have a chat, I am usually online whenever I am here!
Thanks again to everyone. I had a blast finally getting to play on these computers I have been setting up!
On a side note... I have made initial contact with the DGA committee and we are discussing some matters of affiliation and mutual support. This may include holding tournaments here that go on to have finals played at DGA LAN events.
Don't hold us to it at this stage! We will see how it goes.

Very wise in these troubled times.
Post 32
Rocked up, played bf2, had a blast. Anyone who has any doubts about this place should just turn up. the systems are amazing (7800GT's who can argue with that).
will definately be coming back for more!
thanks battlinard for the hospitality (and coke heh). gg

Post 34
The computers in this joint are awesome! I have never played on such a powerful machine before, so thanks for the opportunity :)
The computers, desks and everything are all perfectly setup, you could not have done a better job. I love how there are 2 rooms, it really set the mood in team games, especially when we were the Arabs versing the Americans :D
A big thanks for letting me and my mates play. Sorry we rocked up late. No-one remembered to write the address down :) Next time we'll stay forever !!! Err I mean for longer :D
So to finish...
Love the location.
Great setup inside.
Awesome computers.
Solid selection of games.
Excellent hospitality.
Will be spending many days/nights playing there in the future!
See you all down at Velocity Gaming!
