Ruff's Kick About League

What is Ruff's Kick About League??
It is a very simple idea - it is a league using Fifa 12 on the Xbox 360 that runs each month for any Ruff Gaming community members that want to take part. It is all about having fun and the results mean nothing. The league is just an arena for us to play matches online without facing the 9 year old screaming kids and the quitters who can't take a goal against them. It doesn't matter if you only play 2 matches for the month or you play 30 as Ruff's Kick About League is just about having fun and playing Fifa not the results or how many games you play - simple!

There is no ranking for league members so you can choose any club or international team that you want. You may also choose a team that has already been picked.

The league season's start on the 12th of every month and finish on the following 12th of the month. Then it starts all over again.

There will be no prizes for winning as this is really just a training arena. Also this league is not here to replace the main Ruff's Fifa League but more to run along side it so to give community members the chance to play even more Fifa if they wish!

To take part in Ruff's Kick About League just go to the Fifa Leagues section of the forum and all the details are in there including where to sign up. Ruff's Kick About League will be using the online league section of Fifa 12. You may join a season at any point through-out the month.

The new season of the main Ruff's Fifa League will also be starting very soon with full details to follow soon. Any questions give me a PM over at the forum.

Goal of the Month Competition 

May 2011

The voting has now finished and the result is in for the RuffiansFC goal of the month competition for May 2011 - yes yes I know I am a little bit behind.

(no comments from you at the back but I will be catching up soon!!)  lol

The vote was really close and only 1 vote between 3 of the entries. DaveAVFC & X Bulldog both came in joint 2nd place with 2 great goals and were both unlucky not to win it themselves but the winner for May was sneaked by 1 vote - TheMehwarrior! All the entries were cracking goals but I think Mehwarrior deserved it with his long range effort. To view all the goals and to see the winning entry watch the video below. 

The winning goal is goal number 6 on the RuffGamingTV video clip. Feel free to head over to the forum to comment on the winning goal or in fact anything from May's Goal of the Comp - Click Here

So congrats to MehWarrior for winning the Goal of the Competition for May 2011

More match highlights to follow very soon!

Ruff Racings Endurance Event
Hosted by Darkestfrost

OK so most of Ruff Racings races turn into the madness of bumper cars style carnage - which we will still do and we all enjoy but Darkestfrost has come up with a great idea for more of the hardcore drivers of the club  to take part in some multiplayer endurance races on Forza 4 (None club members are also welcome to join this). We are thinking of setting up a full season of endurance races in the future for drivers to battle over and that will possibly follow after this 1 off event. But for the moment we are trying to organise a 1 off hardcore endurance race to test the water. We will be using R3 level of cars and looking to do the race length around the 20-30 lap mark (takes about 30 mins to complete), hence the endurance side of things. The track we are planning to use for this test run will be Road Atlanta and it will be with full damage on, Simulation steering, no race lines etc but other aids such as auto gears and ABS will be allowed. Darkestfrost will list the complete list of settings before the test event takes place.
 

If this one off race works we will be running a full season (6 races or so) here at Ruff Gaming. Hopefully this will be something a bit different to what we normally hold here on the site. All levels of drivers are welcome but the one thing we will be sticking by is that no bumper car style of tactics and we just want to get down to the racing side of things. If drivers do cheat we will be viewing the highlights so penalties will be given out - see we are being serious for a change! hehe

When this event will be held is still open so post in the forum if your interested and we will then find the best date for everybody.

So spread the word and lets get Darkestfrost's great idea off of the ground!

Also on a different note we held a Forza 4 Ruff Night Gamernight last week and the drivers of Ruff Racing took part in some cracking races. We finished off the night with the best race ever in what might just be the best car ever! The race has now been nicknamed the "Hairdressers 500 GP" - Watch the video to find out why!Of course Ruff Gaming TV was on hand to film it! Below is the highlights from that race. Also would like to thank and give a special mention to X x em x X for the loan of the car we all used for this epic race! Enjoy -

Have Fun

The Team Photo - Season 2010/11

So with the arrival of  FIFA 12 it brings a new season in for RuffiansFC to take part in but it also sees the end of the last season - 2010/11. It was RuffiansFC second full season as a team and I have to say the team has grown beyond anything I had thought it would when I first set Ruff FC up. So when we had a chance for a large part of the team to meet up at this years Eurogamer Expo in London (was really great meeting you all) I had to try and get a team photo for the site. We managed it with the help of Twitter, my poor camera skills and ofcourse lets not forget the main man who works his magic at the Ruff Gaming Graphics department - MickyB! Of course sadly we couldn't get everybody to Eurogamer but with Micky's help we have added some of the missing players to the team photo as you can see below.

Hopefully we can try and do another team photo at next years Eurogamer Expo and of course a good excuse to meet up with you all again.

Boxes on the left of the photo starting at the top working down to the bottom - MickyB, Mikethemute, Baw Kicker, Obesia Blue.

Main picture from left to right - RuffianStew, Darkestfrost, Dave AVFC, PR1NC3, NinjaNash, G4ndalf, TheMehwarrior, Depressed Monkey, RaingodZippo, X Bulldog

I will also post this up on the forum in the RuffiansFC section if any of you guys want to comment on the photo of the above ramble! Also I just want to say a massive thanks from me and the whole of the team to MickyB for his great work on the team photo, he has done a fantastic job - Cheers Micky!

Cheers

P.S Yes that is really a picture of Baw Kicker in the Gimp suite!

PR1NC3's 24 Hour GOSH Gaming Event

A lot of you may have heard of the yearly charity gaming event set up by Sarcastic Gamer called Extra Life. Extra Life is an annual 24-hour video game marathon that raises money to help kids at Children's Miracle Network Hospitals. So basically you get sponsored to game for 24 hours and the more you play the more you can raise for a very good cause.

Our very own community member PR1NC3 has taken part in the Extra Life event last year and he has decided to do it again this year but with a slight change. Extra Life allows you to donate the money you raise to a group of children's hospitals that they have listed. The twist for us is that Prince would like his money raised to go to the London Children's Hospital Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH) which isn't listed in the Extra Life hospital list and I would like us here at Ruff Gaming to help him raise as much money as possible.

- Prince has written a few words below why he would like his money to go to GOSH -

"My first 24hrs of consecutive gaming was last year through extra life. This year I am even more motivated to raise money for Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH)
My connection to (GOSH) started with the birth of my twin boys Ashan & Nihal. Nihal was born with a rare defect called bladder extrophy. This condition effects the bladder and kidneys and meant we were rushed from north Devon to London on the day of his birth and we were there for just over two weeks. He had major surgery to correct his bladder and reset his pelvis at just three days old and had an epidural in his spine to help with the pain.
This whole experience could have been a real nightmare but GOSH were amazing at calming us down whilst giving us great support and amazing care for not just our son but the hole family. Nihal is doing great but will need 3-4 more major operations as he grows into a boy and young man.
I an really looking forward to raising money for this amazing hospital and welcome anyone who wants to join in the fun and raise money at the same time."

GT- PR1NC3

So I think you would agree GOSH is certainly a worthy cause for our 24hr hour gaming marathon here at Ruff Gaming. PR1NC3 is starting his 24 hours of gaming this Friday which is the 14th October at 8pm and finishes the next day at 8pm.

- You can help PR1NC3 in a few ways -

- The first way and maybe the most important way is to donate to his GOSH fund. He has set his target for £2000. I am sure we can help him hit that and even break that. So head to the Pledge thread to donate. It doesn't matter how big or small but it all helps so please donate what you can. GOSH is such a worthy cause!

- The 2nd way is once you have donated yourself then spread the word among your friends and family. They haven't got to be gamers to help with this cause. So guys and gals get asking whoever you can to donate even if it is only £1! All will help!

- The last way is to jump on your Xbox 360 and help PR1NC3 along over the 24 hours whether it is messages of encouragement or offers to play along with him - not letting him fall asleep!

So guys come on lets show gaming can do good things! 

I would  also be doing the full 24 hours myself alongside PR1NC3 but due to no internet (most of you know the story so I wont bore you again with it). But I will be using somebody else's internet to jump on at times to help PR1NC3 along with the 24 hours & also I will be putting updates over Twitter on how PR1NC3 is getting on and how much he has raised.

 Also everybody that donates money and posts on the pledge thread will be going into a prize draw to win a gaming goody bag prize for 1 lucky person that will be drawn randomly out of a hat. The bag has 2 gaming T-Shirts, MW3 poster and some other bits and bobs that I will announce later on.

To Donate - Click Here

That's it and all that is left to do is lets get raising GOSH some money!

Cheers

A NEW COMPETITION

We have a new competition at here at Ruff Gaming - Gears of Ruff - Using the new Gears of War 3. It is for a style of game we haven't used for one of our competitions before - We thought we would try something different for a change. There will be a prize for the winner/winners and the format of the competition will be a knockout style of tournament using the WingMan Mode in the Multiplayer section of Gears of War 3. Don't worry if you don't have a partner just post in the forum that you want to take part but need a team mate and we will line somebody up for you. If you do have a WingMan Partner then great and both of you need to post in the forum and just let us know who your teamate will be! Once you have a team mate lined up you need to come up with a team name for your Wingman match-up!

The rest of the details of the Competition will follow very soon here. I hoping for the start date of the competition will be around the 2nd week of October 2011 but this is subject to change.

Also I would like to take this chance to say a massive thanks MickyB for making our brilliant promo video (above) for this new competition! Not only did he do the video and graphics but he made the music aswell! Cheers Micky!!!

Hope that all makes sense - PM me on the forum if you have any questions on the Gears of Ruff Comp.
