Neotokyo Server and Focused Birthday

[Bommando]

Neotokyo Server:

After five years of development, Studio Radi-8 have released their very polished Source engine mod, Neotokyo. Their about page provides the back story:

NEOTOKYO takes place about 30-40 years from now in a Japan that has drifted into social/political strife due to the inevitable stresses that come from changing times. The Japanese government is grappling with intensified external (Asia geopolitics) and internal (economic/social) problems, and there is mounting pressure from within Japan to return to the days when it exerted influence through military power and strength. A failed legislative push to alter the Japanese Constitution (allowing the Japanese military to engage in offensive actions outside of the country) leads to an attempted military coup by members of Japan's armed forces (GSDF). The coup fails, but was very close to succeeding. In an effort to suppress further coup attempts, Japan's Prime Minister forms a branch inside the Interior Ministry's National Security Forces (NSF) called GROUP SIX. They answer directly to the Prime Minister and are sworn to protect the Japanese Constitution at all costs. They immediately begin to hear rumours of a rogue element of the GSDF Special Forces (JINRAI) maneuvering for a second coup attempt. These JINRAI are Special Operations Group 43 (SOG43), fierce nationalist loyal to their love of country, and a desire to put Japan back into a position of strength and power.

This begins the war in the shadows between the NSF and JINRAI.

Belated Birthday Celebrations:

February 2009 marked our first year of operations and we've been so busy chugging away in the background, we kinda let it pass without incident.

Here's just a quick thank you to everyone who has kept us afloat with their contributions, be they helping seed our servers, contributing to the forums, admin work or by way of subscriptions.

We look forward to another year of fun times and eagerly anticipate the next big game to capture our attention
