What a wild 18months or so it’s been! We’re now in a position to organise a LAN event to finally catch up with all of you IRL.
We’d love to know if you guys would be interested in attending a LAN later this year, as we’ve had a venue booked for nearly 6 months now, unsure whether or not an event could even go ahead.
Head over to the #announcements channel in Discord for more details, and let us know if you’d be interested in grabbing a ticket…

Holy moly
Looks like there are enough people (and some extra 😲) for us to host the inhouse!
Date set as:
Thursday 17th June at 20:30
There will be two teams of 5 players
Each team will have a coach in either myself or Sam
We’ll aim to drop all players a message over the coming days with a couple of questions about playtime for Dota 2/MOBA experience etc. to help us balance the teams as best we can, and then post the drafts before the evening.
We’re aiming to have the evening’s matches casted, and published as a full video at a later time.
To say I’m excited for this is an understatement!
GLHF!
Quick update following last week’s poll – It seems that F1 2019, Wreckfest and the New Among Us map took your fancy, so I’m excited to post that our next community event will in F1 2019 this Sunday from a slightly later time of 20:30.
The event will follow a Practice > Flying Qualifying Lap > Race format, and all abilities are welcome!
If there’s sustained interest we will consider a longer form championship series, though this race would not count towards it.
Copies of the game are available from here, for £3.49
Holy smokes! I can’t quite believe it, it’s our first birthday!
GGHQ’s first year has been host to dozens of events and activities, including tournaments, in-houses, scrims and community-hosted quiz nights!
We’ve seen the content creators among you jointly create and share thousands of hours of video and music from your own Twitch, Soundcloud and YouTube channels.
Discord has been our most active platform, with over 71,491 messages posted on the General channel alone.
Thanks to every single one of you all who has in any way supported our platforms, or taken part in any of the hosted events. After an especially tricky year for all of us, you’ve mutually breathed life into a wonderful online community.
Prior to announcing GGHQ in 2020, we had set a number of targets for our first year, most of which we met; though there are some that we’d still like to accomplish over the next 12months, so here’s a glimpse at some things we’re aspiring for in 2021-2022:
And, though it’s impossible to know for certain when it can happen, we’ve started preparations for our first GGHQ LAN Event!
As always our ears are open to what you guys want to see from GGHQ, so drop us a DM if you have any ideas of events you’d like over the next year!
Excited to announce that our Valheim server is now live! Go forth and adventure!
Joining details are available in the Discord Announcements channel. 🪓
RUST WIPE IS TOMORROW AND WE’VE GOT A BRAND NEW SERVER FOR YOU!
The monthly Rust wipe is tomorrow, and we’ll be taking a dip into the brand new Softcore mode (details here: https://www.rustafied.com/updates/2021/2/1/rust-softcore-the-new-game-mode)
Now is the perfect time to jump into the world of Rust if you’ve never played it before! The Softcore game mode is slightly more forgiving than the ‘vanilla’ game style, allowing for newer players an easier entry into the game!
Rust is all about persistent-world survival, and tactically attacking and defending bases for maximum loot yield. @everyone is welcome to join, and with our trial server reaching over 600 hours of total playtime in January, hopefully it’s a sign you guys will enjoy it!!
Details on how to join the server and more are available in #rust-chat, which you can get access to by selecting the :oil: reaction in #welcome-and-rules
Thanks once again to everyone that has helped on our trial server over the last month! ❤
Thanks to all your support for this year -Take a quick look back at some of the 25+ events that we ran this year.
Please take care of yourselves, and continue to look out for each other.
Wishing everyone a happy 2021!
Happy New Year! We’re kicking off 2021 with some exciting news!
Fresh merch is now available from our store which you can preorder today!
Huge thanks to MattStillbust for helping with this – Don’t forget you can support him by using Out of Key Studio once restrictions allow!
Items will be being printed to order over the next couple of weeks in batches, so expect a slight wait in receiving your items.
If you have any questions about merch, you can reach us either by email, or by messaging one of the admin team on our Discord!
With 2020 limping to a close, I just wanted to take a moment to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, and at the same time say an enormous thank you to everyone who has supported GGHQ over the last 9 months or so!
Given how peculiar circumstances have been this year, it’s been so amazing to have stayed in close contact with such a fantastic group of friends during a time that, for many, could feel totally isolating.
Your involvement in the community events has been incredible, and knowing that conversation, or support, is only a few clicks away at any time has been comforting.
As always, please take care of yourselves, as well as your nearest and dearest over the next few days, and we can’t wait to catch up with you again soon in 2021.
As England readies itself for a second lockdown, starting tomorrow, we firstly want to remind everyone that the #covid-support Discord channel is available for any issues/updates/support that you guys may wish to post over the next four weeks and beyond.
It’s an anxious time for many, especially for those struggling with mental health issues or loneliness, and we hope you feel that our platforms are a safe place to connect with others and escape from some of the pressures of the world right now.
With that in mind, we are hoping to maintain and expand our ongoing community activities throughout the lockdown period, the first of which CalamitySam has kindly offered to create and host.
Introducing:
GGHQ Lockdown Quiz!
Sam’s given us some dates starting from Wednesday next week – Head over to Discord or Facebook to share your availability if you’d like to join.
Following on from our experience with the previous lockdown, we’ve also added a new #General Chat voice channel to Discord for users to jump into while they’re working to help give some feeling of familiarity during the working day.
If you have any suggestions of features you’d like to see, or ways that GGHQ can help you during the lockdown, feel free to post them on Discord or contact one of the admins directly.
