Happy Thanks Giving everyone. Hope you get to enjoy some quality food and time with your families.

First off, I’d like to say Happy Birthday Collective Gamer’s Community. Today marks the first anniversary since Sacrifist and I embarked with a small group of friends on our kickass journey to unite the gaming world and all the groups within it. One year to the day the CGC started out in obscurity. Looking back on the progress we’ve made since then I almost wonder how we managed to make it this far. The only answer is hard work, dedication and a fantastic member base. Without your support this would have never been possible. Thank you, our members, our loyal players, our server and forum regulars, and all of those who’ve contributed work to the servers.

With that said I’d like to announce the grand opening of the CGC’s newest server addition, Ground Zero. Ground Zero is a Team Fortress Classic server with more bells and whistles than you can shake a stick at. For more information see our TFC section for the blog http://blog.cgc-online.net/?page_id=6 or look for Ground Zero presented by the CGC in your TFC servers list while in STEAM.

The PwnShop crew is the crew that works on and runs the 3 PwnShop servers. The CGC owns 2 of these servers and S.A.W owns the other. The PwnShop crew specializes in server modification, creating maps, and general ass kicking. We are running class specific mods and at times will run special configs such as Uber Medics, Uber Soldiers, Uber Pyros, Uber Spies and Uber Engineers. These just add to the fun. Oh, I cant forget about Nite’s Instagib, talk about carnage. To get a taste of what the PwnShop team has put together, you can visit these great servers

We’ve just opened up the CGC Blog and to start things off I’d like to tell you, the community of badassitude, that we’ve got some big plans on the horizon for TF2. Sacrifist brought it to my attention that there’s been a lot of progress made so far and gave some hints at some things he and some of the other CGC crew (The PwnShop) have figured out about TF2 that will make fans cream their collective pants. Needless to say I’m gonna leave it up to Sacrifist as to when and how much info he wants to divulge about these juicy morsels but I figure I’d toss it out there because it’s got me pretty fuckin excited.
