Welcome

Global Gamers is an IRC network that was formed on one simple concept: gaming should be fun! Whether you live for annihilating the competition in a free-for-all FPS or you sneak in a game of Solitaire when your friends aren't watching, we understand. We know games are there to be enjoyed, and we don't want to complicate something that's supposed to be a source of entertainment...

Getting Started

Join us on IRC! If you have an IRC client already simply connect to irc.globalgamers.net to get started. You can also join us from the comfort of your favorite web browser using the Webchat. You may also wish to review our New User Guide for additional tips. The navigation bar at the top of each page contains links to everything you may wish to know about GG.

A guiding light for Quake Expo - Posted by LoreOfSerpents on August 27, 2008

Have you found yourself feeling a little lost in the storm of Quake Expo events? The Tastyspleen.net folks have really outdone themselves for this year's Quake Expo, and there is always something going on! With 59 booths set up (and counting!), you're certainly not alone if you don't know where to start. Allow us to introduce QExpoBot, your friendly and up-to-date tour guide for all things related to Quake Expo. Just type !qexpo in #QuakeExpo and the bot will provide you with its list of commands. Typing !qexpoevents will give you the complete list of upcoming activities, from tournaments to mapping contests to raffles, sorted by which ones are ending first. !mappers will give you the list of mappers' booths at the Expo, !gameservers will show you what game servers people are playing on for the various booths, !games will give you the list of games people are working on or playing during the Expo... and that's only the beginning. There are modders, modelers, moviemakers... and tons of other things you won't want to miss! See an error or want something added? Drop by #QuakeExpo and let us know! And if you happen to know anyone involved with the Quake 1, Quake 2, or Quake 3 communities who might have something to show off at the Expo, make sure they head over to Quake Expo and set up a booth. All they have to do is register an account, login, and select "Create Booth." Don't forget! Entries for the Quake Franchise Photoshop contest are due by the end of August 29th (Eastern time). Also, you can register for the DP tournament now at the tournaments page! And we still have more Quake Live beta invites to raffle off, so join #QuakeExpo and type !raffle to enter our random drawings. Update: Congratulations to [BTF]Jehar for winning the AQ2 challenge and killing ButtaKnife the most times! Thanks to :tS:GreyDeath, [DS&CS]Framer, tyler, and [Fang]WarWulf for also helping to put Butta in his place! Congratulations to vrap for winning the first Quake Live beta invite raffle!

Lots of Quake Expo events - Posted by LoreOfSerpents on August 25, 2008

Check out the list of Community Events! Notice a running theme? Why, yes, we are excited about Quake Expo! Thank you so much for asking. Have you visited the Global Gamers booth yet? Because you should.

Also, we will be raffling off Quake Live beta invites periodically in #QuakeExpo, starting tomorrow and running at random until we either run out of invites or until Quake Expo is over. Check out the raffle event for more information.

Don't forget to join us on Wednesday for the AQ2 challenge and submit your Quake Photoshop contest entries by the end of Friday. Both of those events have other prizes in addition to Quake Live beta invites up for grabs.

And all of you DPers, keep your eyes on the DP tournament event!

Make sure you visit Tastyspleen.net while you're at it, because it's thanks to them that Quake Expo is happening this year. They've been putting in a lot of time and effort to make this year's expo the best one yet!
