Picture of the Week: The Bigfoot Special Sushi Roll
There is a certain group of people at Bigfoot Networks who have, shall we say, a particular fondness for the fine Japanese dish of sushi (I also happen to be part of said group myself). In fact, our fondness for it is so strong that a large chunk of us go out for sushi once a week at a local Sushi restaurant named Ichiban - who has some of the best sushi in Austin for great prices. Due to our weekly visits, when they created their new special roll, they actually went ahead and named it after Bigfoot Networks. So, check out the menu, which now sports the Bigfoot.
And yes, it is quite good.

Bigfoot Networks Featured Guild: The Vindicators
Today is an exciting day: we are releasing our very first Featured Guild interview. Featured Guilds are members of the Bigfoot Networks Guild Partners program who have stood out in such a way that we wish to highlight them to the greater community. In this case, the Vindicators are a long standing, friendly guild, that also holds the honor of being the very first guild to sign up with the Guild Partners Program. We held a brief interview with the guild leader, Vindicore:
1) Who are the Vindicators? How would you describe the organization?
The Vindicators are a gaming community. We have grown from our roots as a simple “outfit” in a single game to one that plays and has played dozens of games together ranging from MMORPGs to flash games and everything in-between.
2) What games do you play, and what attracts you to them, and games like them?
For the past few years we have had our main player base in Voyage Century, a MMORPG from IGG. This game appealed to many of our long term members during its beta due to the fact that it was always intended as free to play. However since our guilds creation in the game it has become much more than just something to play; we have crushed guilds causing them to disband, fought off entire guild alliances and captured multiple cities.
We have started game chapters in both Global Agenda and Star Trek Online, hoping to recruit steadily but slowly to add to our ranks. Global Agenda we have been drawn toward due to the twitch nature of combat combined with the territory control centred PvP. We are also eagerly awaiting Battlefield Bad Company 2 as it involves both infantry and vehicular combat, which appeals to many of our core members due to our foundation in Planetside.
3) How did the Vindicators originally form?
The community started in December 2002 for the MMOFPS Planetside before release as a vapour outfit. Most of the forum outfits were intending to be highly focused in a certain aspect of the game and there was a lack of outfits that would simply fight with all the available weapons and vehicles. Using this as a hook we recruited around 100 members before beta even started and then during the actual beta we ended high up on the score boards when compared to all three of the factions. After beta we only grew and became a dominant presence on the battlefield able to defend bases for several hours at a time or conversely capture stalemated bases with a single swift strike.
4) What do you feel is the best aspect of the Vindicators as a gaming organization?
Due to our maturity and lack of a strict hierarchy we have often been referred to as more of a family than a guild. This comment hopefully conveys the trust and support that exists between our members. In our community you can always find someone on-line to talk to and game with as we have members across the globe.
5) Where do you see yourselves going in the future?
I see the community growing steadily as we continue our efforts in the games we play and as we enter new games. We are always waiting for the next MMOFPS to arrive that will allow us to relive our glory days!
6) Why did you decide to join up with the Bigfoot Networks Guild Partners program?
We decided to join the program primarily due to the companies Community Manager, who was the second member to join the Vindicators back in 2002! We are obviously also interested in increasing our presence on the internet to aid recruitment, and potentially get involved in competitions organised by the company.
