Hello all, and welcome to my first gaming blog.
For those of you that don’t know me, my name is Carl and I work in Plusnet’s Technical Support team. Oh, and I like games. I have played since I was 4, and that was, well, that was a long time ago 
Now I could wax lyrical about all of the games that I have played, or I can look forwards to the games that we will all be playing in the near future. And because listening (or reading) about games that other people have loved is probably not that interesting, I shall discuss games to come.
I haven’t put a blog out in a while, and most of my recent ones have been the satisfaction survey we run each month. So I thought I’d put something out there for the gamers in our midst.
As some of you will no doubt be aware, PlusNet sponsored and provided the connectivity for the Sychosis 2 LAN party held at the Doncaster Dome last weekend. We also fielded a team of gamers to enter the tournaments… Counter-Strike Source and Call of Duty 4.

Back at the start of May we launched a competition for 5 people to win a free 12 month subscription to Total PC Gaming magazine. We’ve had plenty of entrants (all with the correct answer!) and last week the 5 winners were selected. More…
I’m delighted to announce that following our first foray into the LAN party world last year we’ve decided to sponsor the SYchosis LAN party event in July this year.
We’ve teamed up with Imagine publishing to offer you the chance to win one of 5 subscriptions to Total PC Gaming magazine, worth over £40. More…
Hi there, I’m sure most of you have seen the recent blog posts on the gaming servers we have been introducing.
