Take on the Scan NFF Clan and win some goodies!



Right, so people think I have the dream job, playing games all day and then writing about them. Well, ok, it is kind of cushty, but nowhere near as cushty as the deal going down at Scan. Shelley and Elan Raja, the two dudes who own and run Scan International, have noticed that rather than do any real work, five reprobates, sorry, employees have teamed up and gotten rather good at playing Counter Strike… probably on company time…(Er, this is close to libel-Ed)(Nah, libel is claiming they can’t hold their drink and pass out with their eyes open… oh, hang on, that’s true…-Nick)

Any normal employer would frown on such activities, but not at Scan, oh no. Fully aware of their commitment to the local Care in the Community program, Shelley and Elan have channelled the five’s deviant tendencies into something more productive and far safer for the general public by sponsoring the team which is now known as ‘No Fault Found’.

But locking them in a room together without some form of outlet is not a good idea, so Scan have supplied each member of the team with their own customized 3XS Isotope system. These systems were first unveiled at CeBIT and then made a showing at the ACON5 UK Finals as the competition machines for the tournament as well as the five custom machines for the Scan NFF team AND they even showed their versatility in running as servers for the event too!

Of course, the NFF team have tweaked their systems to the max, but under those little metal quick release snaps is an AMD 3500+ Winchester in a Foxcon NF4 mainboard with an XFX 6800GT 256MB GFX card backed up by a 74 Gb Western Digital Raptor and 2 x 512MB Corsair memory… and they waste it on these five guys? You know, there’s just no justice in this world.

So let’s meet Team NFF and have a few words from them:

Lee Horan, aka CORPSE-M@KER
“When playing I have to remind myself that I have a whole manner of creatures that require on the supply of dead people I create for their evening meal. Yes its pressure but I thrive under pressure and this brings out the headshot demon within me… Gimme any gun, be it Para machine gun and I’ll show you how to have a good time “

Michael Wilkinson aka DIS
I’ve only got 1 thing really to say (starts dancing cheesily) “nerr nerr nerr nerr, nerr nerr… you can’t touch DIS “

Steven Aspden aka Baka
Hmm… Does anyone have any contacts in the Tent making industry? I’m sick of having a hole-ridden tent and now due to the water on most the maps the frame and tent pegs are slowly rusting.

Phillip Payseno aka King Muppet
Give a muppet a gun and this is what happens. I’m more lethal and harder than Kermit the frog in kung-fu mode.

John Sheridan aka Monkey
The way of the shoalin monkey has taught me that when faced with the 4 Kings withdraw your knife and claim your kill. However when throwing a grenade ensure that it doesn’t come back.
When facing the Hexus forum clan - basically turn off your monitor, unplug your mouse and you still get a positive score.


Well, I reckon that’s fightin’ talk there from Monkey, and having met him in real life, I can well see how he got that name… the man has permanent grazes on his hands where his knuckles drag as he walks.

But if insult slinging isn’t your thing and taking action is, then fret not as you can now have a go at the Scan NFF team yourself… pop along to www.scan.co.uk and check out the NFF pages… there you can sign your clan up to challenge the Scan boys… take 'em down and not only will you be putting a bunch of borderline criminals in their place, you’ll be lining yourself up for some goodies too!
