How does everybody feel about a Thanksgiving LAN?  I'm open on either Friday, November 28th or Saturday, November 29th.  Let me know what you guys think!

For some reason, I've got a hankerin' for a cooperative game, like Dungeon Siege 2 or something.  Anybody else up for some dungeon crawling?

(...or not.)



Update:  The LAN will be Friday, November 28th at 7:00pm!  My house is located at 112 North Lincoln Avenue in Three Rivers.

I'll have network cables dropped and power supplies ready.  Mere's mom will be bringing leftover Thanksgiving goodies, so we'll have plenty of food too!

If you have trouble finding the house, call me!  1 (269) 273-3948 or 1 (269) 816-0865!

It's poll time!  Pick one, or both, I don't care.

(...knows how much Spanky loves a big poll.)

I agree, co-op would be nice, but Dungeon Siege 2 is too simple for us, and it would be lame to play as level 1's.. we need something else.

I'm open to suggestions!

-b0b
(...just picked one randomly.)

Some suggestions:

Shooters - Serious Sam, Doom 3 (Last man standing mod), Swat4 or Rainbow Six type game.

RPG -  Probably won't happen but Baldur's gate 2 has a co-op mode and is still the best game ever made.

RTS - Starcraft

I'm not familiar with any newer games, so that's all I could come up with.

You would say starcraft haha

Whats the last man standing mod?

and Civ 4 is epic in the empire building, utterly crushing your enemies sorta way.

I say Hell No to Doom 3 (can't display high resolutions for crap) and StarCraft (totally burned out on that one).

I haven't played SWAT 4 since it came out, but I was always a big fan of the series.  I seem to remember the co-op being pretty good, though.

I love Civ 4, and Meredith is a big Civ fan, too.  I definitely think Civ IV should make it on our list.  Does someone have a cracked copy?  I've got Steam copies for Mere and I, but I'm not sure if that will work with "other" copies.

(...wants some TF2, too!)

haha tf2 and civ 4. patrick wont be there now!

i have cracked civ 4 and warlords expansion

We can always add Barbie's Island Adventure to the list for Stewie.


-b0b
(...snickers.)

If board games are also on the table, I'd like to suggest Risk and Settlers of Catan.  

Left 4 dead co-op.

I've always wanted to try Settlers of Catan.  I've heard great things about it.  I think Risk would take too freakin' long to play at a LAN.

Left 4 Dead is absolutely incredible.  Will everyone have a copy by Thanksgiving, though?

-b0b
(...would love to play L4D!)

I could get it for 360 and u could too and we could do co-op on my monitor\TV and your TV?  Sounds scetchy but might be fun

I'm buying the PC version, so I'm not sure I want to buy another copy for the 360.

-b0b
(...could be persuaded, though.)

?

Game time!

The LAN will be Friday, November 28th at 7:00pm!  


My house is located at 112 North Lincoln Avenue in Three Rivers.  We're on North Lincoln, just two or three houses north of Michigan Avenue.  Lincoln is between the Elks Lodge and the BP station, vaguely across the street from Hardings.

I'll have network cables dropped and power supplies ready.  Mere's mom will be bringing leftover Thanksgiving goodies, so we'll have plenty of food too!

If you have trouble finding the house, call me!  1 (269) 273-3948 or 1 (269) 816-0865!

(...can't wait to get his LAN on!)

Unfortunately I won't be able to make it to this one  :(

LAME!

If "the feds" wanted to find me, they could just drop by my office.
