Topic: "The Bunker" My review.
Sprawler Grunt

All I can say is "wow!".

Me and eXisteNce went in there to check it out together. After a bit of trouble finding it (once you know where it is, you'll never forget) we walked downstairs into it. (To get there, look about 4 doors down from Subway, for "The Tourist Center". Look to the left for a small doorway, and you'll see a set of steps and a small black-and-white sign with the logo)

The first thing you notice is the heat that hits you. This is cause by 70 1.4ghz Athlon comps running at once. Though this is the case, the center has air-con running throughout the length of the place, keeping you cool as you play.

We entered, looked to the right, and found 2 computers side-by-side and sat down. A simple set-up, Win 98 with the game icons on the desktop.

Soon to be introduced is Server Query, which will aid in the experience.

Besides the computers humming away, towards the end of the room is a 'chill-out/eats' zone. Two armchairs and a 3-seater couch surrounding a glass coffee-table. Helpful when you've just run to Subway (4 doors up, so there's close food too) and wanna chow down withought farkin' thier keyboards to s***.

The system is awesome, unlike Central Pool Hall (another LAN cafe) if you are a member (im not sure about the system for guests) you are given a uniqe login and you only pay for what you use.

Reasonable prices too. $5.00 an hour, $4.50 for silver-members (i think, dont quote me) and $4.00 (also unsure) for gold-members.

The staff there are friendly and willing to help you out, and even play a game with you. The games include: CS, HL, TFC, DOD, SC-Brood Wars, Tribes 2, UT and Q3.

So next time you're bored as s***, head into the Queen Street Mall and jump into the bunker.

And yeh - The Bunker rocks. Except for the fact that I don't like laser mice...but that's personal preferrence, so I can't really complain can I?

Here's a tip for you Existence - When you are making a post, type SLOWLY, and proofread it BEFORE you hit post.

Spelling's pretty f***ing irrelevant, but when you can't even make sense of half your post...

'nuff said.

Perhaps they oughta start a local ladder? It'd encourage more business and it's always much nicer to play against people you've seen IRL.

And the ladder idea would be awesome whoever suggested that.

Are they running stats there? That'd be a good idea aswell.

my brother got accused of cheating by some 10 year old punk, or around that age anyway.

speaking of which, seeing as the games played there are MA15+ (halflife, quake3, anything else), they might have to do some age check thing for people under 15.

existence - guess you havent heard about how its illegal to have mature age content being shown to kids under that age.

then again, you're a 14 year old computer illiterate, so its understandable that YOU would complain.

Windows 98? Ghey.

Laser mice? Ghey.

Can you bring your own mouse and use that?

Apart from those two incy wincy things, it sounds f***ing awesome :D

Dunno about mice, I know you can bring j00r own headphones.

Umm, low!

I forget the exact number... 5.3 or something?

That is irelevant though, because someone could have a sensitivity of 1 and their Windows sensitivity could be uber high.

its alot cheaper for them to buy 100 outright copies of win98 then 100 copies of win2k pro. tho they _might_ have a coporate license it would still be alot cheaper.

one suggestion i think i could make for this place (the only legitimate fault i can see so far) is that they replace about half their mice wih mouseman's or give people the ability to bring their own mice. (last time i checked most people eiterh used an intellimouse or a mouseman wheel).

The only thing that I can see them needing to do there is get some sorta script or save functions for ingame key configs...
It is a real pain in the ass to do it when your on a limited time alotment.

Well, in cs you just type in the console "exec fpconfig.cfg"...

Or, and this is just an idea. They could have some sort of database on a server, everytime you hop on the machine, you open a little proggie, and load your config, and save it at the end or whatever.

But yeah, im going on Wednesday at 6 in the arvo if anyone is interested.

Is this the place that some guy was talking about starting up a few months ago?

Also, is this where Metrosoft used to be, or am I thinking of somewhere completely different?

It's opposite Metrosoft.

No it aint fools.

Top of the mall, where the table-and-chairs fountain is. The end with subway, the end with toyworld etc.

On the side of toyworld, subway and rebel sports.

1.
Look for "The Tourist House" its like one of those trash-gift aussie touristy things shops.

2.
Look to the left (towards the casino) and there is a small door with steps leading down.

3.
Walk down those steps.

Exactly. Metrosoft is down near Hungries. The same sorta thing (with the steps and that) but its next to a shoe store.

I got a free silver membership too. I was the first person to contribute money to the business, so he gave me silver as a special deal.

The Bunker is not in the middle of the mall. It's up the end of it, near the casino. Near Westpac, and near Subway!

In regards to people asking about bringing their own gear... you are most welcome to bring your own head sets, mice and keyboards...

The whole idea behind the store is for u guys to have fun and experiance a lan party in style...

The owners are very flexible and want to hear more from everone.
