Okay folks I'm sure you've all heard the Rockstar song by Nickelback http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uK4niyFhERs. Now whoever can come up with the best lyrics (gaming related of course) for this tune will win themselves 10 hours of gaming time here at Gamerbase!


I'm through with standin' in line
To clubs I'll never get in
It's like the bottom of the ninth
And I'm never gonna win
This life hasn't turned out
Quite the way I want it to be
(Tell me what you want)

I want a brand new house
On an episode of Cribs
And a bathroom I can play baseball in
And a king size tub big enough
For ten plus me
(Yeah, so tell what you need)

I'll need a.. a credit card that's got no limit
And a big black jet with a bedroom in it
Gonna join the mile high club
At thirty-seven thousand feet
--(Been there done that)--

I want a new tour bus full of old guitars
My own star on Hollywood Boulevard
Somewhere between Cher and
James Dean is fine for me
(So how you gonna do it?)

I'm gonna trade this life for fortune and fame
I'd even cut my hair and change my name

[CHORUS]
'Cause we all just wanna be big rockstars
And live in hilltop houses driving fifteen cars
The girls come easy and the drugs come cheap
We'll all stay skinny 'cause we just won't eat
And we'll hang out in the coolest bars
In the VIP with the movie stars
Every good gold digger's
Gonna wind up there
Every Playboy bunny
With her bleach blonde hair
And well...

Hey, hey, I wanna be a rockstar
Hey, hey, I wanna be a rockstar

I wanna be great like Elvis without the tassels
Hire eight body guards that love to beat up assholes
Sign a couple autographs
So I can eat my meals for free
(I'll have the quesadilla, ha ha)

I'm gonna dress my ass
With the latest fashion
Get a front door key to the Playboy mansion
Gonna date a centerfold that loves to
Blow my money for me
So how you gonna do it?)

I'm gonna trade this life
For fortune and fame
I'd even cut my hair
And change my name

'Cause we all just wanna be big rockstars and
Live in hilltop houses driving fifteen cars
The girls come easy and the drugs come cheap
We'll all stay skinny 'cause we just won't eat
And we'll hang out in the coolest bars
In the VIP with the movie stars
Every good gold digger's
Gonna wind up there
Every Playboy bunny
With her bleach blonde hair
And we'll hide out in the private rooms
With the latest dictionary of
Today's who's who
They'll get you anything
with that evil smile
Everybody's got a
Drug dealer on speed dial, well
Hey, hey, I wanna be a rockstar


I'm gonna sing those songs
That offend the censors
Gonna pop my pills
From a Pez dispenser


Get washed-up singers writing all my songs
Lip synch 'em every night so I don't get 'em wrong


Well we all just wanna be big rockstars
And live in hilltop houses driving fifteen cars
The girls come easy and the drugs come cheap
We'll all stay skinny 'cause we just won't eat
And we'll hang out in the coolest bars
In the VIP with the movie stars
Every good gold digger's
Gonna wind up there
Every Playboy bunny
With her bleach blond hair
And we'll hide out in the private rooms
With the latest dictionary and
Today's who's who
They'll get you anything
with that evil smile
Everybody's got a
Drug dealer on speed dial,well

Hey, hey, I wanna be a rockstar
Hey, hey, I wanna be a rockstar


Example chorus:
[CHORUS]
'Cause we all just wanna be big fragstars
And gather with pros even though you're picked last
The kills come easy and the LANs come cheap
We'll all get fatter 'cause we'll eat and eat
etc etc! You get the idea!

Hey guys, I am so sorry to say that the CSS tournament has to be cancelled on Sunday 23rd March, as its Easter Sunday (due to HMV closing on the day). Therefore the tournament will have to be postponed till Sunday 30th March. Those on the confirmed teams list, if you are unable to come, please let me know, oherwise I'll assume you'll be able to make it.

UPDATE - We have reached maximum number of teams for the tournament, although in the past we have had no-shows. May I please ask those on the confirmed list, if you are no longer coming, please let us know ASAP. Those that want to come, its still worth coming along, as we occassionally have teams that are missing team members last minute, and off course for the last minute no-shows. Thanks for your co-operation

We now have a dedicated 100 tick CSS Deathmatch Server running all day everyday! No more boring rounds waiting to spawn, here you respawn instantly ready to keep on fragging! Default map is de_dust2, if you prefer another map please ask a member of staff to change the map for you. Have Fun!
Starting from next week Monday 17th March, we will be running our very own lotto event alongside the very popular IGUK FFA50 daily event. We will be boosting the cash prize by an extra £50*, so now someone inside Gamerbase will definitely win £50 cash on each Frag Lotto day that we enter. That boosts your individual chance of winning cash every day!


For those of you who dont know what the FFA50 is, its an everyday event which any IGUK centre can participate in. Each day has a different game being played and everyone has a chance of winning £50 as each frag you get gives you a lotto ticket. Also, if you participate in both events on the day, you will have a greater chance in winning as both scores are added.

Monday - Call of Duty 4
Tuesday - Battlefield 2
Wednesday - Counter-Strike Source
Thursday - Call Of Duty 2

* Note we are only participating in IGUK Frag Lottos on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays currently.

Formats and Rules can be found on the iguk website:
http://www.iguk.org/?a=leagues
IRC Channel: #iguk @ Quakenet

Games usually commence at 4:30pm and 7:00pm and must be played at Gamerbase.

If you're interested in participating and representing for Gamerbase, please talk to a member of staff at least 30 minutes before the start times, and they'll register you in the tournament! If you have any questions regarding the IGUK league, do feel free to talk to any member of the Gamerbase team.
