Server Issues

February 8th, 2010

Hi all.

As most people have noticed over the past several days, or week(s) – the server’s been going through a bit of a rough patch.

Just a note and a heads up – I am working on the situation, along with our hosting provider to remedy the problem either through the local software on the server, or on the physical hardware used to power it.

Hopefully, at least by the end of this week, we should be back to ‘normal’. Maybe earlier.

- Lrd Van Helsing

UPDATE:

Long story short is, some guy who’s on the same physical hardware as this site was stealing all our megahurtz (unfairly using shared server resources). Media Temple (our host) issued them the ban-hammer, and now things do indeed seem to have sped up.

Acid has created a slight demonstration of the awesomeness that is the PraetoriaGuard in Forza3.

Let the face melting begin!

We couldn’t believe it, but the guise of our upcoming fake Halo News station was believable enough to convince people NOT to watch our latest media baby, the seventh installment of the long-standing PraetoriaGuard Live! series.

Inside, we meet face to um… communicative end with Gravemind, we stick it to THE MAN, the PG and Tied the Leader square off in Smackafied vs. Xerxdeej, and we do a terrible job making year-old jokes in the most outdated news segment ever made.  OH, and there’s a montage.  Some would say, the best ever made.

We have it in two streaming flavors at the moment,
Quicktime (open the contained file in QuickTime Player, it’s worth the high quality)
Windows Media Player

Also in honor of PG’s 5th…

Podcast episode 7 with guest Eisen Feuer. The making of Episode 7 is discussed and there’s some reminiscing of PG days gone by.

We would like to announce…

December 26th, 2009
With the PraetoriaGuard now fresh into their 5th year we have a gift to you, our wonderful community. Now I have to admit this would have been better on the anniversary, today works just the same. Now I’ll start rambling and cut straight to the chase. The PraetoriaGuard is proud to present to you the newest creation of ours; The Halo Nation News Network. This is really just a start at the future of the clan, so you could even see this go onto the StarCraft Universe News Network, Modern Warfare 2 News Network or one that we will be getting started on ASAP; the Barbie Horse Adventures News Network. Now I’m sure you’re wondering why we’ve chosen Halo for this new expedition of ours. The answer is quite simple: Halo is the game that started us off 5 years ago. It just makes sense to do a Halo Nation News Network, not only because it’s what got us started but also because there will always be news in the Halo Nation.
Now I will admit, we have been working on this for a while now… But with Eisen and Van recently purchasing every Mac ever created on the face of the earth (they’re just lending Luft his so he can do the Podcast.) We will be giving the regular 5 minute broadcast every week. Which doesn’t explain why this one is 17 Minutes long at all…
Anyways back on topic. You can see the first broadcast right here under these very words. This particular ‘broadcast’ covers a variety of issues that are close to our hearts (you know, THAT one.) Hey, maybe we’ll even integrate this news idea into the Podcast somehow…
