Hey everyone.

I am developing a new game server browser written in PyGObject (GTK+ 3). It provides you with ability to view information about and connect to game servers in a convenient fashion. It is your one stop shop for online multiplayer and replacement for ingame lobbies.

Available features:
* Simple, uncluttered one-window interface.
* Support for around 30 titles, primarily id Tech and Source engine games.
* Fast stat engine (QStat is used for the majority of games).
* Comprehensive information about each and every game server, up to player list (when possible).
* Filtering support.
* Connecting to selected server straight from browser window, taking you straight to action.
* Active development and support
* ...much more to come, improvements on a daily basis

Originally, I used to contribute to XQF Game Server Browser, however its rotten codebase (30+ k lines of GTK1 (!!!) code) made me start writing my own thing. Obozrenie is less than 1.5k lines of Python total now.

Patches and suggestions are welcome
