Lankans playing Trackmania Nations Forever

Trackmania Nations Forever(TMNF) is a FREE game that lets the users go at mind blowing high speeds and race in spectacular tracks. This game can be played both solo and multi-player.
Thanks to gamer.lk now all Sri Lankans will have the chance of getting to together and playing this wonderful game for the first time. Here are some of the in-game pics of the game.




Gamer.lk has brought up this concept of gaming in the weekends and call it "Weekend Gaming". This is where all the Gamer.lk people(Almost all of them are Sri Lankans) come together on the weekends and play there favorite games together. At first it was Counter Strike played on Saturdays, and it was a big success. Now Sri Lanakan have there own low ping Counter Strike server to play on. I'll tell more of the Weekend gaming History in another post.
Even though Trackmania allows players to play uninterrupted play even though their ping is high, it doesn't bring all Sri Lankans together since there is no 24/7 online server in or near Sri Lanka.
Other countries have 24/7 online servers to all kinds of multi-player games, but we Sri Lankans don't have that pleasure. Most of the servers that we join have very high Latencies and that doesn't allow us to play a normal game. So that's why this Weekend Gaming is quite successful.
On June 7th Saturday at 3.00pm the first official Sri Lankan TMNF server will go online and it is hosted by a fellow gamer.lk memeber. I will post some screen shots of the TMNF weekend gaming by editing this post after it is finished!
If any Sri Lankans who are reading this post come join hands with Gamer.lk and experience the awesomeness of playing multi-player with low latencies.
