Play Counter-Strike: GO with us, please

Beginning tonight, we're hosting daily Counter-Strike: GO events on our server. Because why the hell not?

Our weeks-old, my early favorites in February, but new favorites have already emerged, like the cs_sauna remake.

How to , in four extremely simple steps

  • the PC Gamer Steam Group to be notified of events
  • Subscribe to our CS:GO Steam Workshop map collection (this will auto- and auto-update the maps we run on our server through Steam— MAXIMUM CONVENIENCE! )
  • the server ("PC Gamer | The Psychedelic Den of Map Experimentation," IP: 8.6.76.59:27015) around 7 PM PST / 10 PM EST
  • Have fun; be the kind of person you'd like to play games with

Thanks to GameServers for being a darn good server provider. If there's a config setting you'd like changed or a map you'd like to see in the rotation, just let me know or leave a comment on the Steam Workshop collection. Messages sent to [email protected] stir my spinal community antennae implant.

And yes, we know CS:GO isn't the only game in the universe. But we've got a good thing going there, and I'd rather do a slow roll-out of community funtimes than expand things too quickly. Look for more games and events to pop up throughout the year.
