Ok the Fatman is back in town from the 6th to the 11th of July, so somewhere in there we gotta have a Lan. Brando is back from Arizona as well, and Ill be driving down to see them. If we have a lan ill bring my machine. Ironman is around too, and ready to kill, as usual. So bob, how about we initiate the new place eh?  ;D

Any thoughts?

We can have it at my place if bob's willing to move his machine.  Not too many people are here and it's a big place.  Plus it'll be the first time I can annoy my neighbors with a loud party...instead of the other way around.

Ha!!

no but seriously, that would be cool too.

My place is definitely available.  I'll consider taking my rig to Pat's if someone else supplies a monitor.  I'm getting too old to lug this monstrosity up and down three flights of stairs.

-b0b
(...definitely needs to initiate this place soon.)

I'm not saying you have to come over here bob.  I just thought you might get sick of us taking advantage of you and your place all the time.  I say...Briney chooses where we have it...or if more people can get to TR or K-zoo easier.

Heck if I know... Patricks got a good amount of room in that living room o his, and I dunno how much bob has. Plus I'm not sure when Fatman is going to be available... I guess the possible days are friday or saturday night. Depends on who wants to have one more. And bob, whats this about 3 flights of stairs?

I live on the third floor.  It's actually only 1.5 flights of stairs, but I'm overdramatizing.

-b0b
(...lugged heavier things up and down those stairs.)

how much room is there?

Will neighbors mind?  Will your outlets support us?  BTW how many people are coming to this?

Me!

(Raises Hand)

hmm, yea we need to nail this down quick, cause Ironman works the GY shift. So if we can figure this out he might be able to get a day off, somehow. Saturday? I'll be coming, might bring Sofia.

You better bring Sofie, she's like way cooler than you.

The living room and bedrooms here are bigger than at the house, so space certainly isn't a problem.  I've had some rather loud D&D games here, too, so that won't be a problem either, within reason.

I don't think power will be an issue, either.  I can drape cords throughout the house if need be.

-b0b
(...will try to have Mere here.)

Ok good deal. Saturday, July 8th, good for everyone then? Bobs house? Who will be attending?
Ironman, can you get that time off? Stick?

Yea, I can make it.  Throw me some directions!

I'll be there.

-b0b
(...just thought he'd mention it.)

Where is there by the way bob? I dont know where your new place is.

Waterfront Apartments, near Scidmore park.

409 Thomas Street, #12
Three Rivers, MI  49093-1993

If you get lost, just give me a call.

(269) 273-3948
(269) 816-0865

See ya there.

...errrr, here.

-b0b
(...edits.)

I'll be there, but only because Mere invited me  ;D, also Ashley will be coming with me.


No but seriously, I've been waiting for a Lan to come around, at least a one with you guys.

Any thoughts on some games we should load up, I don't want to arrive and have to DL and game and stuff.

I'm all about Battlefield 2 and Earth 2160.  Any takers?

-b0b
(...Eurasian Dynasty for life, yo!)

I guess I'll watch   :'(

lets hit the classics. Rememer that half life mod skeet ball thingie? it shot you out and the snipers would try to kill you while you tried to make it in the bullseye. good stuff. Earth 2150? Empire earth? Warcraft 3? Stick what were you wanting to play? Patrick? anyone?

I have to work 10-6  :'(, but I'll probably hang out for the first couple hours.

and you should definately play Half-life... remember the kill the president levels? 10 points for every umbrella kill :)


(If you need a computer Stick, you could use mine)

Nooooo, Ironman!!!

Just to clarrify...when is the LAN starting?  It's on this Sat too right?  I wouldn't mind some Warhammer 30K

X

why do you all get to live in michigan and i'm all lonely down herrreeee in PA?





not fair.  :'(

Old school is good.  I might try to get my spare PC up and running this week so Mere can join in on the festivities.  Then again, she might group up with the other girls and plan some crazy mischeviousness.

-b0b
(...just used mischeviousness in a sentence.)

Saturday at 7:00PM.

Oh, by the way, it's WarHammer 40k.  I haven't played that since last summer, but I'm totally game.  I've been meaning to try out the new expansion, but haven't gotten around to it yet.  I'll work on correcting that problem...

Is Nassau still in Kalamazoo, or did she return home for the summer?  Otherwise, I'd tell ya to come up and spend a week with her, and crash our LAN.

-b0b
(...can provide crash space.)

nah--she's home for the summer. maybe sometime during next year i'll come up and crash.

it will be mad chill.

did you just say mad chill?

Yes, she said mad chill.

She be chillaxin' wit' the G's, yo.

-b0b
(...fo' shizzle.)

Yea, I still have warhammer 40Kizzle.  Lets do just a little UT2K4, I haven't played that in ages... We could do an all-nighter of Empire Earth(EE) or EE2.  Perhaps some call of duty.

Stick
(..ends with a fragmented sentence)

Let's decide it ahead of time so I can get this stuff loaded up, and download cracks if need be.

-b0b
(...doesn't want to spend four hours loading games at the par-tay.)

I agree, you can count on warhammer.

WarHammer 40k, good stuff.  With or without the Winter Assault expansion?

-b0b
(...shrugs.)

without i would think.

Warcraft 3 is fun too, weve been playing that here, and its a well balanced game. Honestly the matches dont last longer than 20 mins if you play right. Very fast paced.

How about SMAC?

X
(/ducks)

SMAC! im in

Wasn't SMAC permanently banned in... oh... 1924?

-b0b
(...groans.)

Im getting in town early afternoon. I was wondering if anyone wants to see pirates late afternoon, early evening... let me know or post here or something. Dunno where wed see it, TR6 or K10?

How about WD40?

-b0b
(...would.)

what is wd40

isnt that the crap you use for rusty hinges or whatever?

Ding ding ding, we have a winner!

Awesome time last night, guys.  Thanks for coming!  It was nice to meet everyone's girlfriends, too.  We must be getting old...

-b0b
(...will write more later.)

Yeah was a good LAN party!  It was very odd to see everyone single one of us almost with a girl nowadays. Turns out we are all big pimpin.

Too bad you didn't get to meet my girlfriend... ;)

It would have been better if we actually played something...this is why I'm not going to any more LAN parties with my machine.

X

You say that like we have them all the time nowadays ;)

It is no longer the good old days, sadly.

Dude, next LAN, we need to get a game list ahead of time and everyone should come prepared with those games already loaded.  We definitely need more gamin' going on.

-b0b
(...more later.)

And have our video cards working!!!


[smiley=Shocked2.gif] BRINEY

X

:'( Yea dude i know, im working on it right now.

oh, what a tradgety!

brineys video card didnt work!

*cries*



all of my friends from home are fighting and driving me nuts.


yeah, I'm gonna cry about it.



Cait
   (...a little hostile today)

Who cares if people fight, it's human nature.

In reality people being bitchy is about as problematic as Briney's Video card not working.

So stop playing the guilt trip there senora.

Just sit back and find the humor in thier fights :) Thats what I do.

I'm not touching this one with a ten foot pole.

-b0b
(...sits on the sidelines.)

I wasn't starting a fight. Nor was I guilt tripping, thank you very much.


.....sorry?



Cait
   (not hostile today)

What about tomorrow?

tomorrow as in tomorrow or tomorrow as in today?


be specific.
