I've been reading The World According to Color : A Cultural History by James Fox and it's been an absolute pleasure thus far. The book is split into chapters, each about a specific color and how it was used and its meaning altered throughout history. It's very readable (I don't have any formal art training and I never struggled) and its super interesting. Would recommend to anyone even slightly interested.

as usual, big thanks to production, admins and casters for working tirelessly through the issues to offer us a great LAN despite being mostly trapped in a dungeon cell on the first floor.
HUGE shoutout to Chiers for smoothly running everything and being super nice while doing so. Also sick engi cosplay.
shoutouts to everyone I hung out with : Hugo, mak, leth, karaoke master piggles, sintyre, drhappiness (finally free from admin work), twitch.tv/matektf and twitch.tv/whip_cactus, nation, swamp (especially after one beer), b_fisch, qbown, warped, Samus, DCS (thanks for the powerbank btw), nas boii, tob, schocky, danny, mulaa, ronz, dwo, june (Season 35 throwback!!! We don't talk about 36.) and everyone else that I might be forgetting.
shoutout to mackey5, mirra and tidB, for the CPHG 2019 throwback, it was lovely.
shoutout to zhern for not going through the numerous pre-LAN death threats and for beasting the B tournament.
shoutout to KO for the greatest heist ever tried.
shoutout to bum for the unauthorized recordings, helping me find people and some bold flirting maneuvers.
shoutout to Josh for some very nice chats and a surprisingly close armwrestle match.
shoutout to tiia and nicco, the wonder twins. It's always so nice to see you both !
Finally, a big shoutout to Oracle : Apollo, Bv, Dowel, Lukas (Thompson), Wylenn and honorary member Sinika. When I started online gaming, I never thought I could make such good friends and I feel incredibly lucky to have met each and everyone of you.

see you all soon I hope

Agree with everything said comparing this LAN to iSeries, rental prices were fucking sick as well. Having the hotel and the venue in the same building was super nice too.
BIG agree on the lighting, was hard to see and I feel like it made me sleepy + I kept knocking over one light fixture close to me.
Only thing that I would add is that I really enjoyed having a Grand Final that started earlier than usual. I know Insomnia gets delays all the time so it was not the admins' fault but having it start around the late afternoon makes it so much better for the afterparty and for people who have to leave early in the morning.

Planetside 2 deserved better

the tftv newsroom is at each other throats everytime this get brought up so we decided to find consensus and use the term "Electronic Sporting" from now on

Look it was when I wrote the article okay

fridge cosplay

I swear there's a good reason as to why my spellcheck decided this was a word

shoutout to kay's good cooking (temrane, Theseus, Scarlet, Solar, deere) for a super fun and chill time, it was lovely.
shoutout to Jmaxchill and JWB for being my cool writer buddies
shoutout to xypher (Acecle, lilcute, coyo, DigyB, Nintails, Ascend), was nice finally meeting some of you and seeing the rest again
shoutout to Enzo for helping me speak with xypher (-coyo) on day one when they were still afraid of me
shoutout to Cosmo for helping to carry on the Porg e-Sports legacy by wearing matching pants with me for the whole LAN
shoutout to all production staff that I barely got to see because they had jobs to do, you all make the dream work (also I think there should be like an opposite day where you get to play while being produced by prem people, that way we can hang out)
shoutout to the casters that I got to see a bit more, you're also very important and you all looked great on screen
double shout out to turbotabs for buying me lunch, truly turbodad
BIG shoutout to lawjr for managing to play a map on my PC, im sorry it crashes when people get married in game
Shoutout to the "ex-Prem" players that were all so nice to talk to : Piggles (with the wide smile), Crayon, mak, Grenja.
shoutout to SVIFT danny and sneaky the cat, hope to see you both at next LAN
shoutout to Matek, Shaddowdude, Chez, Assassin+ and Dejvi (+Matek's date) for taking me home to their airbnb so I could watch the Arsenal game, I ended up staying 18 hours, the food was delicious and it was a ton of fun.

shoutout to the people I met and said goodbye to at 5 am on the last day (Josh, Faust, Gazy, morale, Lux, jun0, the "krokit gang", Toast, nas boii who was so nice)
angry shoutout to zhern for dodging me despite going to my row to take creepshots of computers

You all make LAN special

gonna try to cu@

Anyone getting strange deathcam freezes or is it just me ?

Anyone has an idea as to why I don't have a timer (neither round nor map time) on 5cp maps ? I have timers on koth and pl so I'm a bit puzzled. Using the matchhud that leth made, foster's scoreboard and toonhud, could any of those collide ?

bumping this, im washed up and dempsey is working like 3 jobs so we're solely relying on numbers boy Jmaxchill to write about this season. If you somewhat follow EU and would be interested in writing, feel free to hit me up at Aelkyr#8581. No previous experience required but we'll probably make you do a sample article (on the topic of your choice).

Perks of the job

• Flexible hours
  
• We have experienced editors looking over everything so we're not gonna throw you off the deep end + it can be a nice way to improve your writing skills
  
• Looks nice on a resume
  
• Fun working environement (access to a meme channel, everyone is pretty chill...)
  
• enigma only demands half a liter of your blood now

Starting wage : no
(we might be able to get press passes for insomnia so if you were planning on attending but not playing you could save some money but I really can't promise anything so don't join solely for that)
