25.01.2022 We dimmed the lights down.... and playing spooky music. Then we had someone complaining immediately and left..... maybe we shouldn’t have done this..... ohhhh weeeellll......

24.01.2022 http://gcastle.net Hi everybody, We are officially open and operating now!... Few things to note: - Social distancing of 1.5m needs to be applied with people you are strangers to. Therefore, we will disable computers as we see fit. - To plan your visit, we have now a website that will show you almost live view of how many computers are available and where. Please visit http://gcastle.net. - Due to COVID-19 track & trace policies implemented by the government, we will require to sight your ID if we dont have your details. We also need to collect your address and phone number. This will solely be used when QLD Health requests to see the log. Thank you!

23.01.2022 For those of you who have purchased CoD: MW, we have it pre-installed! Hopefully, its better than the BO4 and it does not give the bad name to the legendary OG title.

21.01.2022 Hi Everyone, We will reopen 8am tomorrow (12th Jan). The following rules apply to adhere to new QLD Health directives:... - You must wear a mask in indoor spaces. If you are not wearing a mask, you will be asked to leave. - You must sit from the edge of each row. - You must leave one station empty adjacent to yourself from a stranger. If you come in as a group, you still are allowed to sit next to each other. - Other COVID-19 procedures still apply. Your membership needs to be verified with a photo ID and a working phone number. We mean no offence when we ask you the following things! So please be kind and cooperative!

20.01.2022 Hi Everyone, We are still working hard to reopen. While we believe the opening will be very soon, we do not wish to make the same mistake of announcing the opening only to renegade the promise. Please watch the space!

17.01.2022 From 20th February, we will be accepting Visa/MasterCard/Cheque Cards as a payment method. Please be advised that there will be approximately 2% surcharge on transactions. $4 > $4.10... $10 > $10.20 $20 > $20.30 $30 > $30.50 $50 > $50.80 Drinks/printing/scanning purchases: $0.10 per a transaction. Kind regards, G-Castle Management

17.01.2022 Good evening Gamers, Following todays announcement from the state government, we are working extremely hard to reopen earlier than we planned. We plan to reopen on 6th July, Monday at 9am. However, this may be subject to change. We will reaffirm this on the day before at 9pm. ... A few things to note: - There are no surcharges on payWave, PayPass or cards payments anymore. - 1.5m social distancing rule still applies, except if you are in the same group. (this has been updated as per the advice from 1st July) - You wont able to log-in freely until you sign the entry/exit register at the counter (required by the legislation) - Due to the current legislation - even non-members need to have a valid ID to use our facility. - New keyboards havent arrived yet. They expect to arrive sometime next week. - As we operate with the limited capacity, we are trying our best to implement available computer tracking system. Alternatively, you could phone us to check the availability. If you have any questions, please dont hesitate to ask! I cannot wait to serve you all!

17.01.2022 PC50 - PC63 will be unavailable between 2pm - 5:30pm this Saturday (14th Nov) due to a private event. We will fix our live map on https://gcastle.net so you can plan your visit and easily see our availability for the day! We apologise for the inconvenience :(... - Looking at hosting a private event for 10+ people, private message us to find out more details! -

17.01.2022 Dear G-Castle Customers, As you may know, the premise of G-Castle Internet Cafe is quite old. Sometime in 2020, we are currently considering renovating everything. This will include changing the structure of the premise to fit more computers, new flooring, desks, walls, paint, offer snacks etc. This will involve closing the store for 3-5 weeks.... This is such a big call for us and potentially the biggest and the riskiest business move we will be taking. For this reason, I would like to run a survey to get your feedback which we highly value. If you could cast a vote and leave an additional comment, that will be highly appreciated. How would you feel about the renovation?

16.01.2022 1 - Although we have a proper door now and we can actually lock and close the store, we are open on EKKA holiday (14th Aug). 2 - GTA V, Fall Guys, osu! have been installed.

16.01.2022 Would you hire PlayStation controller at G-Castle to play games such as Fortnite / Rocket League?

16.01.2022 I prefer G-Castle desks..

15.01.2022 Good morning Gamers, We are working extremely hard to open as soon as possible. Please stay tuned and dont forget about us! We will resume working after a quick nap.... Thank you.

15.01.2022 - As EA and Valve are now in good terms, all EA games that used to be only available on Origin are now on Steam. Hence, you are able to play Apex Legends on Steam. The good news is that you can transfer all your progress and achievements on Origin's Apex Legends to Steam.... G-Castle will likely to ditch Origin in the future so make a transfer and enjoy playing it on Steam! - Couple of people have informed us about the poor latency of playing Genshin Impact at G-Castle. This is beyond our control as the latency gets determined by the routing from the end-server and our ISP. However, it is possible to bring the ping down to 130-160ms by using MUDFISH VPN which we have preinstalled. Please comment if you would like us to make a guide on how-to use it! -

15.01.2022 We are so sorry everyone. We have encountered an unexpected issue and wont be able to reopen today. Deepest apologies.

13.01.2022 Sex scenes are insane! 10/10 recommended if you are more into 3D triangle polygons. I am not. I am all about that 2D anime. #notserious #forreal

13.01.2022 It was painful to brush my teeth every few hours and use mouth wash hourly so I don’t have to smell my own breathe. No more!

10.01.2022 We don’t really enjoy telling you to put masks back on, or telling that your friends can’t sit next to you without being logged in. COVID Restrictions for businesses come from the Emergency and Public Health Powers. Us not complying or being lenient on it can cost either $13,345 or 6 months imprisonments. While I am all about that rich and thug life, I don’t have $13k laying around or gangsta enough to go to jail over this. ... How embarrassing when your cell mate asks Oh why are you in here for to reply with oh I ignored people not wearing masks. I’d be an easy fish. Jokes aside, it’s to keep everyone safe. Queensland has done a great job, please be part of it!

10.01.2022 [TLDR: Before the renovation, there were reasons beyond our control which led people to think G-Castle is dirty due to bad smell. We had issues with the termite, water leakage, plumbing, rotten wood under the flooring. Now we are renovated, the issue with the smell has been fully resolved. If you have visited G-Castle after the renovation, we would really appreciate if you could write a review on Facebook and Google positive or negative. And, if you have stopped coming to G...Continue reading

09.01.2022 Dear Valued G-Castle Customers, Although we are still in the early stage of planning, we thought wed share an early snippet of whats currently happening with G-Castle. We will be renovating the entire venue early this year. This will include changing of the floor, paint, interior design and more computer stations.... It is likely that the business will temporary close in the future. Once we have all the details, we will provide plenty of notice before doing so. As you may have noticed, our premise is extremely old. Original founders of G-Castle set up in 2008. And, I think its time to reboot. We are currently getting concept designs being drawn and talking with vendors with timelines etc. When we are able to reveal more, we surely will let you know! We are all excited about having more pleasant environment for customers in the future! Please let us know if you have any feedback or questions about this!

08.01.2022 Which would you prefer at G-Castle? Ten Key Less keyboard for extra mouse space vs full-size?

08.01.2022 We got you covered with hand sanitisers my fam.

08.01.2022 Dear G-Castle Customers, The government just made an announcement that to keep us safe from getting COVID-19, strict rules will apply to the business especially with social distancing. We honestly do not know how we are feeling right now. We have never shut our doors for the past 7 years, 24 hours - 365 days. A gaming place never shuts was our icon and our small wish to be able to provide safe gaming place 24/7.... From 8am tomorrow, we wont be able to serve any customers. We are sorry. We had so much that we planned for this year, the renovation was about to happen in June with all new interior design and better PCs. But, unfortunately, everything will halt for now. This isnt a permanent closure. Once COVID-19 fucks right off, we will come back. But, we just dont know when. Please stay safe everyone. Until we meet again.

06.01.2022 Since people have been saying "WTF they have EFTPOS now?" as they enter the store, we thought it would be a good time to update this pricing poster. Thank you.

06.01.2022 Valheim has been added! It’s a great game and beats AAA games developed by big companies. Cyberpunk 2077 was disappointing but this makes up for it!

06.01.2022 When you enter our premise, we are legally obliged to collect your details. Dont be a bloody monkey like the dudes below. Fill them out properly. If we suspect that you provided fake details on your account, we will put a block on your account until you are able to verify them.... Contact tracing is the most crucial procedure to stop the spread. "Imagine visiting a restaurant where there was a known COVID-19 case, and because of the wrong details you provided, you were never contacted or made aware. This not only puts you at risk, but also your family and community. Were all in this together, please do the right thing and supply the correct details." From QLD Health

06.01.2022 Hi everybody, To celebrate our reopening after COVID-19, we are having the most insane deal for a week from 15th July - 22nd July.

Dont worry! We dont want you to miss out! You can sign-up as a member with a valid ID for $10, which includes 10 hours! The special pricing begins midnight today! Dont miss out! Please note that we are required to collect your full name, address and phone number for COVID-19 Contact Tracing regulations.

06.01.2022 Due to the popular demand, Escape from Tarkov is being installed currently. As always, if you have any game suggestions - feel free to message us! Thank you.

06.01.2022 Nightmare flashing back. We will be closed from 5pm until further notice. Stay safe everyone. It's tough time for small businesses like us but we will try our best survive the pandemic.

05.01.2022 We have snacks for sale now! Are we missing any of your favourites? Let us know and we will see what we can do!

05.01.2022 TLDR: Look after your belongings because not everyone in the world is nice! Just a quick reminder to everyone! If you are going to the toilet or going outside for a fresh air, please take your valuables with you. There are people like him who will lurk around to steal things from you. When he found none, he stole our mouse instead. I wish I hadn't sanitised that mouse.

05.01.2022 We are open 365 days, 24/7. Unfortunately.

05.01.2022 Feel free to place cover on our headphones if you wish! The covers are pretty comfortable and you wouldn't even notice they are there (that's if you can be bothered putting them on). Just make sure you put your used covers in the 'dirty' box on the right! :)

05.01.2022 This is not a joke post. Someone or some people have been stealing brand new toilet paper rolls from our cubicles. Do nOt sTeAL. I am also looking at eBay and GumTree to see if you are selling them there.... https://www.ebay.com.au//Quilton-Toilet-pape/274294356719 If this is you, how dare you.

05.01.2022 Good afternoon Customers, Thought wed write a new post about the planned upgrade and a bad news. 1) We will be upgrading all mouse to Logitech G402 in the next couple of days. Logitech G502 has lasted us well for the past two years however some buttons are being worn out and we thought it would be a good time to change.... 2) We have a pest control service coming in next Thursday from 7am. While we do not believe it will disturb your normal usage, you may be asked to pull your chair back or move to a different computer. Thank you for your contiguous support and I apologise for any inconvenience.

04.01.2022 To follow the updated directive from QLD Health, we needed to update our policies again. We can do this together team! #keepingqldsafe

04.01.2022 Hi, We will reopen 2pm on 11th July (today). We have few features to introduce which we will update you on midday tomorrow :) See you!

02.01.2022 Good evening Gamers, We will reopen midday tomorrow We still dont have new keyboards yet and we may have limited capacity due to how many PCs we manage to finalise over the night.... Edited: sorry guys, please disregard this post as we wont be able to open today.

02.01.2022 So sorry to make two posts a day! We have added a guide to lower ping for Genshin Impact down to 120ms in our games folder!

02.01.2022 Good evening customers, As you may have been getting hints about what is happening at G-Castle at the moment, we are currently renovating. We hope to reopen when the renovation is completed and when Stage-3 begins. We will advise you with a week notice before reopening. ... But, I thought Id share few snippets of what you can expect when we reopen. We are planning to have a relaunch event when we reopen and we cant wait to see you all!

01.01.2022 Good afternoon gamers, - Though we have a lockable secure door, we will always aim to open 24/7 even on public holidays. So we are open this long weekend! - However, there is a planned power outage for the building between 4am - 6am next Wednesday. So we will have to close during that time. But, we will open at 7am provided I don't sleep in.... - To encourage people to come in on Tuesday night, we will have special pricing on 6th Oct (Tuesday) between 8pm - 3am where you are able to use our computer at the rate of $1.50 an hour. - The special pricing does not go on your account and therefore is not accumulated or saved. Happy Gaming! (Though we don't like a duplicate post, this was posted on both Facebook and Instagram!)

01.01.2022 This person, who should have been swallowed, came into our store and stole a customers bag. Please look after your belongings, it took him only 3 minutes to lurk in and steal a bag. If you recognise this person, please PM us so we can provide further details to Policelink. (Black Nautica jumper, tattoo on his both hands)... Thank you.
