Epic's Brandon "YelloMarine" Reinhart updated his .plan with word on the festivities at London's The Playing Fields gaming center (rather, centre), where they have been, and will continue to be, playing Unreal Tournament with attendees of ECTS, including some described as "hard core Quake and Quake2 players." Here's what's happening:

I'm updating from a machine here at the Playing Fields in London. This place rocks. Its a pub/gaming pit with a bar and a bunch of old wine cellar style booths around it. You can check out their website at

Last night we set up a bunch of machines with UT to test everything out for tonights party/tournament. It was a lot of fun. A bunch of people from Qamex are situated around here and played with UT. They were quite pleased! I was sitting back in the second cubby watching people play, at one point. There were people just saying how amazing they thought UT was and they didn't even know who I was. Its a hell of a lot of fun to watch people play your game and really get into it.

A bunch of the guys were hard core Quake and Quake2 players. They were skeptical at first, but as soon as they had played some DM, CTF, and Assault they were converts. :)

Tonight is the big party and tournament. We are going to run 5 elimination rounds followed by a series of finals matches. The winner gets a huge steel trophy of the UT trophy symbol from the ads. Its sweet. I want one!

The machines here are Athlon 600s with dual Voodoo2s.
