In case your not familiar with Norway's biggest gaming event: keep reading, if your do then skip to next paragraph. Every year in the end of Mars thousands of games gathers in one huge hall for 5 days to play video games and compete with each other. It's probably the most social thing a gamer can do.

So why do I tell you about this? Well we here at StudioARE just got our hands on 4 tickets for the event. Are14, me and two other friends will be there and most likely stream to you live from the event, more information will come in March.

"Happy New Year everyone!"

It's been a long time since I wrote those words.. A whole year.
We all hope you had a nice year and we're looking forward to 2010.

(Why do I have to write this in a new year post on the net??)
First off I wonder why I have to write that Ravenshield is beautiful and sexy, and that Mr44 is as cool as James Bond and something about that he has a gun show. Jediknight123 have not been forgotten either (since you asked, okai.. you weren't) since he's awesome!
Then, yesterday I had.. uuhmm.. reindeer for dinner. It was quite tasty.

In a few days the new site should be fully functional, however as we have made a new wiki system I would like to know how you want it and maybe make it better.

We are no longer using the old URL for the wiki as it will be under "Info". One reason why we are changing it is because it's better for us to manage and the old AREpeida was provided in a more "hackish" way and not really a part of the site.

Oh yes, you may notice we are having fun with the comment system :)

Did I mention there is some cleanup to do?

Are14's b-day :)

*UPDATE: If you are seeing this: there is no longer any need to remember the new address!

As some of you have noticed we're moving to new servers.

Those who actually look at "our" Twitter feed you've noticed that we have set up a temporary address for the forum (rest of the site is rebuilding and upgrading)

Anyways, for those of you actually not looking at Twitter (*cough*) here is the address:

http://studioare.org/studioare/forum

Before you ask: YES, we are going to glue the domain over to the new servers as soon as we're done.

So Are14 went on vacation today and will be gone for a few weeks, that leave all responsibility to me. Blah blah blah.

Latest news about RoWar:

I'm still not sure if it will work, it's a long way with coding and programing before I can start on the really fun part there I create new maps and content.
Currently do I have a problem to import and export SMD files into blender, I found a few scripts but they didn't work.
We have found a game engine to use, still have to talk with the creators of it for support but we will get that over with then we get the SMD models into it.

After some issues with the registration system we got it back on again. Even got rid of the meaningless points that was causing the registration system to fail.

Seeing just after we (*cough* I did *cough*) fixed it spambots have come back as well. To fight the spambots even more we have added a little question for you to answer.

Shouldn't be so hard to understand what to select, right?

Hei there, Yesterday Are14 and I decided to upload the latest working version of test.studioare.net in here to the front page.

Look under for the latest Unit.

As you may see have we got a nice box around news posts and other stuff, the links under the banner/header is in right position, and we got some cool text over the banner... I don't know why Are14 added that there but it looks awesome.
