Yesterday the CS:GO team released a new update. The main feature of this update is the release of CS:GO dedicated server files. These files allow users to run their own CS:GO servers.

DARKLY and Aim2Game are in the process of setting up several CS:GO servers for our community. What kind of  game settings and maps would you like to see? Let us know in the comments!

...that doesn't feel quite right.

I've applauded the creators of Counter-Strike: Global Offensive for their willingness to do what Valve seemed to be scared of doing years ago. By that I mean that they've actually added to the Counter-Strike formula with the addition of some new modes as part of the new Arsenal game type. Encompassing both Arms Race and Demolition, Arsenal has a little variety compared to what we’re used to. Despite me pining for variety in Counter-Strike, there are a couple of things which leads to disappointment toward the modes. Put simply, Arsenal needs a little work before it can flourish.

Though the latest iteration of the widely acclaimed Counter-Strike franchise is trying to give the series a kick in the backside with tweaks, new additions and a general breathe of fresh air, not all of CS:GO is pleasant. Granted the following gripes may seem particularly nitpicky, but that said, any Counter-Strike player will tell you that the slightest change can make all the difference in the world.

Today Minecraft was updated to version 1.2.5. There are numerous reports on twitter from users saying they are no longer able to launch Minecraft. The game seems to be freezing on a black screen. Are you experiencing this? Let us know in the comments.

UPDATE: If you are experiencing the black screen, try deleting your Minecraft bin folder and then launch the game. This fixed the problem for me.
