How about it?

arg! im on vacation till the 24th!!

*fist shake*

Hmm... that sucks.  I think Nate goes back to MTU on the 16th.

Stewie, Stick, what do your schedules look like?  Is there any weekend that works better for you guys?


-b0b
(...will probably be gone on Saturday the 23rd.)

Sounds good to me.

Bleh, going to be in detroit 15th-17th.

How about Saturday, August 30th?

-b0b
(...juggles.)

We can't have a LAN after the economy collapses! R U crazy?

This week I have 4 days off starting Thurs and that usually happens every other week.  So the 30 wouldn't work for me.  But the 21st to the 24 probably would.  I'll get you my schedule posted up and see what we can do.  Also, I'm looking to move out of my place by Sept. and when I get all moved it I want to christen it with a LAN.

X

Briney, would the 24th work for you, or will you be too jetlagged or something?

-b0b
(...sux0r!)

Whered you go on vacation to B?  You better not say Florida cuz If I find out your down here and didn't say hi I'm gonna kick some ass.

I don't leave until the 20th Bob.  I'll be fine

I dunno about this 24th business, don't people have work on the following monday? or would this be a day lan? which unfortunately would not work for me..

vacation from 14th -23rd/24th... and i am going camping in northern michigan with susies family.

How about this Saturday the 9th? or could we do Sept 5th (at Pat's, maybe)?

Sorry, I didn't realize the 24th was a Sunday.  Nix that.

September 5th is open for me.

-b0b
(...hmmmm.)

You should just all face the reality tha we aren't in HS any more, and hell will freeze over and dogs will rain down from the sky when all of you have the same saturday free to LAN at the same time ;)

If it wasn't for Briney, we'd be fine.

(...I keed, I keed!)

LAN this weekend?

eric and I's father is up from NC this weekend. I do know that when patrick moves in a few weeks he wants to host a lan. i wouldnt mind anywhere in there too, but i am in ann arbor which rules out bob... or actually anywhere but his house rules out bob.  ;D

Sept. 15th is my scheduled move in day so I'll keep everyone apprised as to my schedule.  You might need to bring tables and chairs and I will have a 4 port router.

X

Four ports?  What the heck are we supposed to do with that?


-b0b
(...should bring his 100+ port rack, but its kinda heavy.)

By the way, Spanky will be home this weekend, and I have Friday off.  Anybody up for a mini-LAN sometime this weekend?


-b0b
(...can be available Friday, Saturday, or Sunday.)

im game. Friday?  I might be able to bring a friend or two to make the LAN bigger....

Stewie, are you available?  Spanky, are you bringing your system?


-b0b
(...weee!)

I might be going up to visit Briney tomorrow...however if he's not up for it I've got until Monday off so I'll come for sure.

X

You should make Briney come visit us.

-b0b
(...pedestrian!)

His dad is coming up so they're spending time together as well so he won't be able to make it.

X

What's more important, family time or LAN time?

-b0b
(...geez!)

When and where is the LAN?  I will probably come tomorrow.

X

When you said tomorrow today, did you mean tomorrow or today?

-b0b
(...just to clarify.)

I meant I will arrive Friday because I'm going to visit Briney Saturday.

Is one even going on tonight?

Sure, let's do it.  How about tonight at 8:00pm?  Might only be a couple of us, but that hasn't stopped us before!


-b0b
(...mini-LAN for the win!)

Is anyone up for a LAN party on Saturday, October 4th anytime after 3:00pm at my new place in Kalamazoo?

X

I'm down (or up?) for lannage.  ;D

Put me down as a maybe.  Meredith and I are supposed to fly out to Disney World this Saturday and we won't be back until late next Saturday.  Unfortunately, with Mom still in a coma, we'll likely be canceling that vacation tomorrow.

If that's the case, I will probably be available next Saturday.


-b0b
(...SUXOR.)

Count me in.

Bleh already have plans that weekend.  Reschedule!

I can't believe you're prioritizing your NAMBLA meeting over us.  Lamer.

Actually, I'd like to take Mere out that weekend to get some much needed relaxation.  Any possibility that the following weekend might be open?

-b0b
(...ponders.)

Oh, just cause I say I want to go, then everyone else says "nooooo" change plans! I see how it is.... I see.... how....it is.

>:(

I take the National Association of Marlon Brando Look Alikes very seriously!

Unless any of you want to meet in Detroit that weekend?  Will either be going to Milan or one other guy wants to try off roading.

Don't use your ballzack as a mudflap.

Umm, ok I will try not to.

...is that a common problem?

So that's what the kids are calling it these days.  I know what you mean, sinner!

If the week after works better for other people, I'll "make it so"

And so people will have my new address and contact info it is the following:

310 W. Candlewyck Dr.
Apt. 1731
Kalamazoo, MI  49001

So, anymore news on this lan thingy?  I might be in town this Saturday anyway.  How is it looking for you guys?

lookin good. patrick?

Quote:

Is briney hitting on pat...again?!

Yea if you ignore the period I suppose that sentence might look a bit... off.  ;D

Let's do this!

-b0b
(...is bold.)

I can go, but I might not be able to play games, since I'm having problems with my laptop.

I'm sure Meredith would let you take her system.  It's my old PC in a different case.  I just rebuilt my PC in December, so it still pretty decent.

-b0b
(...shrugs.)

I'll be bringing my monster huge system so everyone can insult me about it at the LAN.  Is it OK to bring a co-worker?  Also, are we talking about this weekend Saturday night the 11th?

Yea everything is still good on my end for hosting.  The only thing being since I'm still new for moving in I have no couch or anything other than 3 chairs and 1 card table.  Also I have nothing in the way of networking like Bob does so there's also that.  Like I've said before...I'll host and I have plenty of room (so bring co-workers and the like)...but I'm uber light on what is needed to run a full on LAN.

X

Gamelist?

CoD4 - I have the source.

Modifying Post** Also, I may be going to an Allegan shooting range on Sunday with some friends, all are welcome to come.

I am not going to make it now.  Going to be working Saturday.

And by working he means gay porn and a six pack of Fanta

What the heck is wrong with Fanta?


-b0b
(...weak sauce!)

its ghetto but delicious...Ill give you that

Quote:

Haha, that's exactly what I thought.

So Bob would you be able to make it?

That would make:

Patrick
Stick + maybe friend
Bob
Eric
Myself
Corey always seems to catch wind right before a LAN, maybe he can make it too.

Wonder what our other regulars are up to.

What other regulars?

-b0b
(...will probably be there.)

meh, I meant way back in the day. we used to have 10 -15 people heh.

Bob when/are you coming tomorrow...if so when...because we'll have to use your equipment...if that's ok?

• Andrew Shazzam
  
• Wes Downer
  
• Alex Middleton
  
• Justin Guthrie
  
• That one dude that has a kid now.  He was cool.
  
• That other dude that brought the huge subwoofer to the LAN.

That's all I can think of off the top of my head.

-b0b
(...shrugs.)

Probably between 7:00 and 8:00pm.  Is there room for Mere and her PC?  She might be interested in coming.

Any files you guys want me to bring from the server?

-b0b
(...should probably bring a DHCP server, too.)

Heck ya...bring her along...Briney is bringing Susie so she won't be the only girl here.

I won't be able to make it to this one as I'm already committed to doing some LANage with some friends across town on saturday.  And Briney knows me too well it seems.


Quote:

Unfortunately not this time guys.  Maybe Thanksgiving or Christmas?

-Corey

Doh! Ya I am pretty sure we will have one around both of those times. We are LAN starved for sure.

Ok so anytime is ok for people to show up, maybe starting around 5 just so we can find a place for people, but come anytime you want really.  To start the actual LAN we'll have to wait for Bob, which we wouldn't start without him anyways, and his equipment.

REMEMBER - I have just moved in so I do not have the amenities of things like couches or tables and the like.  So bring your own tables and chairs.  Room I have plenty of, seating and places to put computers that aren't on the floor I do not.

X

Just a note...make sure you park in the designated visitor parking area as they are Nazis here...they are labled with signs.  Park in the spots between them.  By my building they are located running parallel to Kilgore (towards the road).

X

I just realized where you were living Pat.  I'm gonna literally be about 3 minutes away just down Lover's Lane past the golf course so I may drop in and say Hello at some point tonight.

-Corey

Cool!

If anyone needs to get a hold of me the number is 269-718-9204

X

We don't have a table to bring, but we've got camp chairs.  Hopefully we can find something to park ourselves on.

-b0b
(...has a card table somewhere, but can't find it.)

I have one table I can let someone use.

I claim it in the name of Bob!

-b0b
(...will plant a flag on it.)

I won't be able to make it, I don't have mobile tables or chairs and neither does my co-worker.

By the way, I'm starting to pack up.  I'll bring a switch.  If you need anything else, call me at home at (269) 273-3948 because I won't be checking the forum again.

Dude, just come anyway.  I'll bring some camp chairs if you need them, just give me a call.

-b0b
(...don't be lame!)

Briney brought 2 tables that he's willing to share...plus we can always put someone on the counter.

Guess who TinaBoo belongs to?

Thank you to everyone who came, I had some major fun.  Looking forward to the next one.

I enjoyed Patrick waking up to bob and I out of the game, the enemy computer sitting there with a huge army, and Patrick sitting on top of 350k food. With that computer ai I was surprised you werent wiped out.

thanks for having us! Great apartment for reals!

Awesome LAN, Stewie!  Thanks for hosting it!

How the heck did you survive that long in EE?  Was the enemy too busy trashing our bases?

Come to think of it, I don't think you were harassed the entire time we were playing, which is why I never knew you went to sleep until I walked past your room!

-b0b
(...weird!)

The fact that people are even sleeping at LANs says a lot about our age....

Yeah, Briney and I are the only ones that are truly hardcore.

Considering that I didn't wake up until 2:00pm Saturday, I'm not even sure that counts.

-b0b
(...shrugs.)

To be fair, those of us who went to sleep, did so during the second mind-numbing Empire Earth stalemate, the first of which lasted 4 hours... The fact that anyone stayed up at all is a testament to an indomitable will, beyond any age constrictions.

EE is really only fun for the first 2 hours.


...and then it is time to start nuking wes's base.

Ask Briney about how I f00sted him in the face this weekend.

ewww.  Whatever you and briney want to do behind closed doors is fine...just don't tell us about it.

So you'll be canceling your subscription to our live cam site?

-b0b
(...drats!)

Theres no "Our." thats all you, man.

Sorry, did I forget to mention that hidden camera?

-b0b
(...you know, the one in the air duct.)

Where is the motivational poster...


           Briney
Never suspects the hidden camera.

The sad thing is...only one of these are photo shopped.
