New And Improved Site!
Let me be the first to welcome you to the new and improved Gamers Radio website. I am sure the new Green design may catch you off guard at first, but give it time and I know it will grow on you. We have worked hard to bring you an interesting theme, while doing everything we can to speed up the load time of the site. I think you will agree the new theme runs much smoother.
Be sure and drop by our Forums as they are completely redesigned to match the new theme. Keep your eye out for our easter egg, hidden somewhere in the forums. For you Firefox users, you will notice the Forums Block on the left now scrolls just like it has always done with IE. Keep it here for more interesting additions including a new Interviews module and Flash Enabled Games. For those of you that complained about the site logging you out, that should now be fixed as well.
Of course, I could not have done this without the help of Raze. I owe him all the credit for the great artwork and new design. Without him, none of this would be here. Thanks Raze!
Mark You Calendars!

BF2 Jungle Screenshots
EA released 10 screenshots from a Jungle map named Songhua. I am glad to hear we are going to get more than Desert maps. All that brown gets boring after a while and it is so much more fun to hide in the deep brush, than to stand out in the middle of a desert. 🙂
All I can say about these pics is WOW! I am really, really impressed at how great the jungle looks. And look at that temple. Amazing!

Custom Map Blowout!
Our BF42 GRB Custom Map blowout was so successful, we decided to release the rest of our Battlefield Vietnam maps and do another Friday Night Fights Custom Map blowout for BFV! There will 8 maps this time around. Some of them have been released, some of them are never seen before except by the GRBs. These maps are great, but keep in mind they have not been through our extensive testing and may not 100% complete. Either way, this will be a fun night and you only get one shot, so spread the word! Here is your map line up.
No Remorse | Guadalnam | Ghost In The Darkness | Sacred Grounds

Bad Move Apple
According to this article on Information Week, a judge ruled that the three sites being sued by Apple over the leak of the MiniMac must reveal their sources.
This is the part that ticks me off the most.
“Apple maintains that Californias Shield Law, which protects journalists from being forced to reveal sources, should not apply to Internet sites. In addition, the firm stated in court filings that free speech protections likewise should not apply to the three Internet sites.”
Apple is arguing that the one place in the whole world that you have the most rights to free speech should not be protected by the Right Of Free Speech. All I can say is Up Yours Apple!
BF42 Custom Map Blowout!
In anticipation of the release of BF2, we decided to do a GRB BF42 Custom Map Blowout. Some of these maps have been previously released, while several of them are never before seen maps by our members. These maps have not gone through our normal testing procedure, but it would be a shame to never release them for everyone to enjoy.
So join us for Friday Night Fights on February 25th for a BF42 Custom Map Blowout. From the plane madness that is Pilot School to the intense ground pounding action of Fields of the Fallen to the Skull inspired Curse of Skull Island to the multilevel action of House of Hellsing and the unforgettable forest of Ghost Front. We promise there will something for everyone. The action starts at 7pm CST and goes until the early morning.
Pilot School | Down The Barrel | Curse of Skull Island

Special thanks goes to |GRB| LoU-Cipher, |GRB| GreatXScott and |GRB| Raze for putting the time and effort into making these maps. Many thanks go to all the |GRB|’s that have helped test the maps, promote the custom map events and for giving Battlefield 1942 just a little more reason to be the best Battlefield game ever. As always, thanks to |GRB| ephil for putting together this kick ass installer program that makes it so easier to install custom maps.
One last thing, EA/DICE, Get off your asses and give us a way to deliver custom maps via the game. People want custom maps, but there needs to be an easier way to get them into the game. It would be in your best interest to make this happen. The Custom Map Community deserves more support than you are giving us.
Illuminati – Machines – ROCKS!
Once in a while, we get unsolicited requests to play songs from Indie Artists. We are always on the look out for great music and have no problem listening to what you have to offer. Unfortunately, not all bands fit into our mix of music and not all bands are equal.
This was not the case when SG of Illuminati sent us a request to check out their song, Machines. All I can say is this song kicks ass and fits right into our line up. So, listen for them on the Gamers Radio Stream, drop by their website http://www.illuminatimusic.com and check them out. If the rest of their music is this good, you can expect to hear even more Illuminati on our station…….
Was John Lennon The Devil?
Blabbermouth reports: Over the last few years there have been two artists that have claimed to have created the famous heavy metal “devils horns” hand signal: Ronnie James Dio (BLACK SABBATH) and Gene Simmons (KISS).
We have discovered irrefutable photographic evidence that is was none other than Beatle John Lennon that created the famous sign in 1967. Furthermore, it was even used in animation for the BEATLES “Yellow Submarine” (just check the original vinyl album cover). These are two photographic images that can be tied down to specific years PRIOR to the 70s. [see full story for more and photos]

Talk About Strange Bedfellows
Launch reports: As two of the stars of the upcoming movie the Dukes Of Hazzard, Willie Nelson and Jessica Simpson will be recording a duet for the films soundtrack. There is no word yet on what song the two will sing, according to Rolling Stone. Simpson tells the magazine, “Were still deciding. We have a couple (of songs) we like.” [see full story for more]
New BF2 Screenshots
These screenshots come to us via the EA Spain BF website. I would like to point out they do not look anything like the previous screenshots we have seen from the game. If you ask me, they are not near as polished as what we have seen before. Is this closer to what we can expect from BF2?
What do you think?
Can Enterprise Be Saved?
I am a big fan of SciFi. I especially love Star Trek and have watched every series to come down the pipe. I was excited when I learned the next major Star Trek series would focus on the first Enterprise. As a fan, I could only imagine the cool things they could do with Star Trek history so established, yet still open.
Sadly, UPN has done a terrible job of supporting Star Trek Enterprise, putting it up against other highly viable SciFi series like Smallville and StarGate SG1 on the SciFi channel. If it wasnt for my Tivo, I would be in big trouble, but I had managed to keep up.
Now, the official Fan website, Enterprise Fans has taken up donations to place a full page ad in the LA Times, requesting that Star Trek Enterprise be saved or at least picked up by another station. I support this endeavor and could only dream of a SciFi Friday Night with Star Trek Enterprise, StarGate Atlantis and Battlestar Galactica.
Oh and if you are wondering, I watch them via Tivo on Saturday. I couldnt miss our Friday Night Fights…. 🙂
