There is something new!   Check out the pictures posted!   It's a ball that says "Happy Birthday" on one side, the other side says "Team Fortress"  and then it has "Red" and "Blue" on both ends.

						<title>New Steam BETA - Tabbed Chat/Browser Improvements</title>
<link>http://adkgamers.com/news.php?item.107.5</link>
<description><![CDATA[<div style='text-align:center'><span style='font-size:18px'><em class='bbcode italic'>Now in Beta: </em>Tabbed chat browser improvements</span><br /><br />Steam's browser and chat windows are now grouped as tabs! You can manage multiple chats and web pages each in a single window in our latest Beta. <br /><br />We've also been making some improvements to Steam's browser performance and stability, with the biggest gains on the Mac in particular. Flash video playback is now faster and more stable here, and the browser now loads cached content quickly. The video below shows a before and after comparison of our store's home page loading in the released Steam client and our latest Beta. The comparison is fair, in that both versions of the client had the same amount of time after start up to "settle," and both had the page content in their local cache. What was once molasses is now a normal web page in a normal-speed web browser. Yay!<br /><br />You can give these improvements a whirl in the latest Beta by visiting Steam client Settings or Preferences and opting into the Beta Update offered there. <br /><br />Let us know your thoughts on this New BETA if you are taking a part in it!</div><br /><br /><a class='bbcode' href='http://adkgamers.com/plugins/forum/forum_viewtopic.php?8197' rel='external' >Click to discuss this news item in the forums</a>]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[<div style='text-align:center'>I wanted to clear some things up for Donations.  This will help us ensure that YOU get the appropriate recognition for your donation there is 1 simple step that we ask before you submit the donation.<br /><br /><span class='bbcode underline' style='text-decoration:underline'>When submitting the payment, there should be a section called <em class='bbcode italic'><strong class='bbcode bold'>'Special Instructions' </strong></em></span><br /><br />In that section we ask that you put your IN-GAME name in that field.  This way we will be able to go and not only put your name in the server to recognize your donation but we will also be able to make sure you get the appropriate benefits in the server as well.<br /><br />Another thing that you can do to ensure this process goes smooth is also to post in the <a class='bbcode' href='http://adkgamers.com/plugins/forum/forum_viewforum.php?40' rel='external' >DONATIONS</a> section of the forums letting us know you donated!<br /><br /><br />We do appreciate every single one of you who have donated to the =ADK= Gaming Community!  We are glad you enjoy playing in our servers enough to donate.  We hope we can continue to make the atmosphere somewhere that you will always want to play because you enjoy it here!  <br /><br /><br />Thank you all for making =ADK= what it is today!

It will be the 31st wrench that was found.  There are already 2 others that have joined in on this as well. Number 14 and Number 82.  <br /><br />They are doing this for a charity called 'Child's Play'<br /><br />For those of you unfamiliar with this charity, Child's Play is associated with Penny Arcade and works to donate games, toys, and other goods to children's hospitals around the country. These items help children, many of whom are seriously (or even terminally) ill, better endure their hospital stays. This organization has consistently worked with the gaming community to show that gamers like you and me can make a positive difference in the lives of children who need our help.<br /><br /><a class='bbcode' href='http://adkgamers.com/plugins/forum/forum_viewtopic.php?7048' rel='external' >CLICK HERE</a> to discuss this topic<br /><br />and<br /><br />Find more information about this Charity Event <a class='bbcode' href='http://www.toptiertactics.com/golden-charity/' rel='external' >HERE</a></div>]]></description>

The guy doing all the work still has a long way to go and is always looking for suggestions for help as he has stated in the comments of the video.   So if you have any suggestions feel free to offer help for him.  <br /><br />Since most of us around here play TF2 and the hit new fad called Alien Swarm I'm sure it could be a fun thing for all of us!  Playing Alien Swarm and TF2 at the same time!    Could you just imagine having to push the cart while killing all the swarms?!<br /><br /><a class='bbcode' href='http://adkgamers.com/plugins/forum/forum_viewtopic.php?6990' rel='external' >CLICK HERE</a> to discuss this topic!</div>]]></description>
