I just went back and found the emails, and ahead of time we were given a shortlist of five games that we would be playing three of:

> CounterStrike, Delta Force 2, X Plane, Operation Flashpoint, Falcon 4

I think that was what miffed me about the unknown mod - I was already good at CS, and had no doubt been practising on demos of DF2 and OF, only to be presented with something different to what we'd been told.


Also, regarding the other team members, Philip (the hacker) was Simon's friend, but I think "Metalhead" was Luke Redpath? "Bash" might have been Beseku or Dan Cross, both ex-regulars who were in the original email chain.

I suppose Simon making the landing/hacker not using credits/thrashing the other team at games would mean more credits and better prizes.  Probably a bit of a set up in that sense, it's rare it would happen.

I'm going on very vague memories, but I think Simon had to email names in advance and they didn't like actual names, though I don't know why Philip survived that.

I doubt anyone judges you on your posing skills, they all whizzed by in half a second and I had to pause to read the info given for each person.

Thanks for sharing your memories :) 

Being on telly is always a bit dull compared to watching, I watched a singing show being filmed at Media City, it was just a lot of being told to clap and cheer a lot.  By the end I didn't want to clap and cheer very much.

Ooh, I wondered that. Metalhead definitely seemed to be someone we knew. I'd forgotten about Luke, I wondered if it might have been Mike Franklin, but then again I was a similar Uni dweeb at the time so my memory is distinctly hazy.

I just remember thinking it was cool seeing some of the guys from PCFF actually being on TV - even if it was just Bravo!

Either way, kudos to you all!

I think you're right that Luke Redpath was there. Can't remember if Dan or Beseku actually made it or not now.

Dread to think what you've got saved in some random hidden folder on a backup hard drive from the 00s

Anyone remember the Dragon points fad? Before we realised just how "in-to" dragons Mr Roberts was?  :-&

Nah, that never happened. You imagined it all. It was so imaginary that that's how the band "Imagine Dragons" got their name.

Yep! I remember accusing Pete THETGG of cheating his way to a certain milestone, with the help of Ed(d) Hannay (sp).
