I used to be qite good at gaining sponsorship for various things. So I’ll see if I can pull that old hat out of the cupboard and see what comes out of it . . .

I used to run Street Machine Shows out at Blacktown’s Westpoint Shopping Town for a few years to raise money for the Hearing Impaired (late 70′s), as well as heavily involved in getting the Street Machine Nats set up in the ACT originally (similar time frame).

Brings back old memories . . . petrol-head unite . . . bring back “Brickies”

yes xboxoz360 the more the merrier.

i agree with you 100% we should focus on DarkLAN as it is in afew weeks.

hmm good thinking on the sponsoring thing. maybe we could get like MS or GAME™ to be like a sponsor for the LAN’s that we all organise after DarkLAN if it is a success.

The more the merrier as they say “grathius”,

Re the PaintBall day, it would be good as there’s usually a slow period after christmas/new year with regards to games. Although, things have been changing over the last several months.

Perhaps MS might like to be involved, or even GAME™ ? It just has to be pitched to them so that it’s an ‘attractive’ and viable function to sponsor.

But first things first, concentrate on the DarkLAN as the main priority, but just keep the other thing in mind and just throw some ideas around . . .

DarkAmarda, you might like to call/email Hyper, Atomic or even Xbox360:OAXM to see if they’d be interested in some pics of the day . . . as they ‘could’ find it an interesting item to drop into a small space as a filler in the mag . . .? You never never know if you never never ask . . .

I’m wondering if a FPS-Feast Paint-Ball event might be a good idea for ’08 . . . There’s way too much going on now, but something to put in the “thinking basket” . . .

It could gain sponsorship from a Game Store or something, and hopefully get some press via one or some of the OZ gaming mags like Hyper/Atomic etc as co-sponsors etc . . ??

Forget Xbox360:OAXM, as their local publishing house aren’t the friendliest. But who knows, anything is possible.

Thanks for the support OZ – I’ve never had the chance to attend a LAN let alone organize one. Hopefully this should turn out to be a great day.

Photos and videos will be a definate and I’m sure that there will be many a Halo 3 saved film posted as well

Greatto see this news up mate, and also a pleasure to support it in any way I can. The whole idea of this site is to help gamers get some decent local news and information, and hopefully, the DarkLAN will become a regular event out at Miranda, and perhaps spread around to other areas within the Greater Sydney Area, over time.

I’m sure everyone will have a great time, and make sure lots of pics are taken, and some nice vids so we can post them up on you tube and then on here . . . It would also be great to put faces to the GamerTags, which hopefully will humanize the community in some small way.

Kudos to you fro taking on the responsibility of getting this done, ten brownie points to you good sir . . .
