Brink for the Scandinavians


(dohfOs) #1


Hi there! I reckon not many of you guys know me but some do. To make a long history short; I used to publish stuff at Crossfire.nu earlier on. Apart from that I’ve been writing about gaming and eSport on several sites ever since 2002 and perhaps the most known one would be CallOfDuty.se, a site I founded back in 2003 and owned until some years ago when I decided to go elsewhere. I’ve also been site director of sites such as Kodd.blogg.se, Battlefield1942.nu and BFCentral.se, also been a writer of CoD-Nation.co.uk (aka AllGunsblazing), BF42.com, BFCentral.com, ET-quakewars.se (and the list goes on…) However, I’m not posting here to talk (just?) about myself.

Recently I started working on a new project, a project that would combine my two main interests, eSport and journalism (since I’m almost done with my journalism studies). After reading awhole lot about Brink I eventually decided that this would be the game to start with, seeing it’s potential and facing the challenge with a brand new public.

So, I now present to you doffelicious.com. doffelicious.com will work as a Brink-fansite for the Scandinavians, meaning (not that it isn’t obvious) Sweden, Norway & Denmark. Most of it’s content will be in swedish but in time there will also be stuff in both norwegian and danish (I reckon we all understand each of our languages anyway). The thought is that once the game have hit the shelves all three countries will be under some heavy coverage. Obviously it will also have coverage of the scene as whole but the focus will be on the europeean top and the three scandinavian countries.

So, if you’re scandinavian (or from any other country and know swedish/norwegian/danish) and, just like me, interested in Brink I can gladly recommend doffelicious.com. doffelicious.com will post every little newsitem I can find upon release, and once released it will be more focused on the Brink eSport- and competitive-part.

There is also a forum where you can register (just follow the links on the site) and also two newly opened IRC-channels where you hang out, #brink.se @ QNet & #brink.no @ QNet (not that overpopulated yet though for obvious reasons…). Feel welcome to join!

The page is brand new (well, since the 21st) so it’s far from done. And I’m guessing there is some questions. You’re free to either comment here and ask, or on the doffelicious.com forums or send me an e-mail, dohfos[at]doffelicious[dot]com

But the FAQ so far would probably be something like:
Q: Why go Scandinavian and not English (or just Swedish since you’re after all swede)?
A: Simple, I’ve done everything but Scandinavian before. I’ll still write about Brink here on Crossfire in English. And about the “just Swedish-part”, well. It’s more of a challenge to reach the Scandinavian community as it’s broader then just the Swedish. I’ve always liked the idea with a Scandinavian community.
Q: Why the domain doffelicious.com and not brinkscandinavia.com or similiar?
A: Because this is a longterm project that will, in time, be much more then just Brink. That’s far into the future though. But if you come to think of it - not all fansites do share the name of the game.
Q: Why on earth did you pick Brink? It’s not even released!!
A: I feel it will be great fun wandering into a completely new scene, just like i did when i once started CallOfDuty.se (which I did just as long before the CoD-release as we are from the Brink-release now). Also, during my ET:QW-period i come to talk with some guys from the Splash Damage office, and they surely are a nice bunch of people to work with so I look forward doing that again.

Welcome to doffelicious.com - Brink Sweden, Brink
Norway and Brink Denmark - under the same domain!

If you aren’t Scandinavian (or from Finland and actually know Swedish) and have a hard time understanding the content of doffelicious.com u can always use the Google-translator. Just expect some bad translation. But - it might be better then nothing, for now :slight_smile:

-> doffelicious.com in English!

Oh noes, he’s from Crossfire, [insert flame here].

Just kidding, I guess I am one of the guys who “knows” you, at least I’ve read some of the stuff you’ve written at Crossfire, and afaik I played a PCW or two against you in ET:QW’s early days, good times :slight_smile:
