Ok, we messed up last time, no gamage. Mostly my fault I imagine. My card is twitchy these days for some reason. Games that use new features of directx 9c mess me up. Not sure on that one yet, still looking into it.

So lets figure out the games we want to play. Cause next lan, we are all going to come into it ready to play. Get the games that we list here. Torrent them or something. Having to install or copy them over, just makes things worse.

Ironman was telling me about some good ole fashion fun that might work.
A well balanced and wacky game called Half life : Team fortress.

The skeeball mod is the hotness.

Also, SMAC. honestly we gotta give the old bird another whirl, see how that goes.

Empire Earth for loads of nuking fun.

Unreal Tournament 2k4, good stuff.

So ya those are my suggestions i guess. discuss!

Hey, I'm game, assuming I can get there.  I have the week off from kids' church. 

August 7th is a monday? Any reason for that Patrick? would people be able to make it?

How bout that weekend then? 4th or 5th?  that all good for you folks?

I would go but im in Detro. I want to see it after hearing Kevin smith talk with that Good Morning America reviewer.

on another note! Can we go shooting before the lan?

i'd go except....i'm stuck in pennsylvania?

Ok people here's the scoop...LAN party is it this weekend or next?  If it's either...we're going to have it on Friday.  If anyone is not available we can on Sat but I'd rather do it on Friday.  Now we can have a multitude as far as I'm concerned since I don't have to do much for the next two weeks.  So if random people want to randomly have LANs here at my apt it's basically free access.  So Friday we can start at noon...not 7.  So basically come.

Next we're going to make a list of games that we WILL play.  No one is to share anything or look at anything until the end of the night.  Also...MAKE SURE YOUR VIDEO CARD IS IN PERFECT WORKING ORDER AS WELL AS RAM, MONITOR, MICE, PROCESSOR, HARD DRIVES AND ANTI-CARPAL TUNNEL PADS!

If you guys want to next list your game preference I will complie a list and then I will enforce it stickly when and how long we play these games.

Any questions, comments, or suggestions...you can post them.  Whether or not I'll take them under advisement...meh.

In all seriousness I don't want to host some gay LAN like last time.  It was nice to see you all again but I wanted to play games and this time we will be.

Honestly, I think the last LAN was not that bad, as long as it's viewed as a social event instead of a LAN.  Considering all the people that showed up without boxes, we probably should have just had a "get together" without systems.

I'm pretty sure a LAN on the 4th will work out, but I think I'll build a mid-range box just for that LAN.

Briney, if your card is malfunctioning, I'd be more than happy to loan you my 5600.  It easily ran all the games we've been talking about.  Is your motherboard still AGP?

(...AGP for life, yo!)

It was Professor Plum in the library with the candlestick.

(...game, set, match.)

PCI-X is a server slot.  PCI-E, maybe? 

-b0b
(...has none, unfortunately.)

meh, i write it how i says it. I dont read tech articles anymore unfortunatly. but yes i did mean Pci Express, pardon my idiocy.

The x part of the PCI-X must be like a variable, insert whatever is necessary, in the case E.

Right Briney?

Gooood....goooood.  X has taken over math texts and problems, it has swallowed up numbers.  X can now be a letter or a number...another step in becoming omnipresent and omnipetent (since X can stand for anything and X already knows what it stands for).  Now it's taking over graphic cards!  There will be no one to stop us...this time.  Huuu paaaa Huuu paaaa.

On a related note, bring you computers to 5200 Croyden Ave. Apt 12202 Kalazoo, Michgan  49009.  It's over by K10.  If anyone needs further directions just call.  The LAN will be on FRIDAY AUGUST 4TH, 2006 STARTING AT NOON.

Now I know people have jobs and won't be able to make it until later.  If you can tell me who you are and around when you are planning to come...I'll set up the game list appropriately.

Also....

(Goodday)

so did you get that job at AMD yet, you tech addict? 

I can't guarantee whether or not I'll be there yet, but even if I can't come, you can take my hub and cables.

-b0b
(...points out an obvious solution.)

Alright well we're coming down to it.  Friday is the LAN and it starts at noon.

If you're coming just send up a message and give me a time around (it doesn't need to be exact and if you can't make it at that time later that's no prob) but it'll help me as to what games will be played.  I will post the schedule up once you people post.  This is going to be great!

I'll be there at noon until 11 or so

sure, np   

I'll be there at noon, not sure when I have to leave maybe 7 or 8.   It depends if I have to work or not.

PLaying a massive amount of gamage atm, bob if you can get your butt up here, thatd be sweet!

You guys suck, I wish I was there...oh well got other things to enjoy tonight.

And b0b is actually playing DnD by himself.

Actually, D&D is tonight.  Last night was movie watchin' goodness.

-b0b
(...notes there are six other players.)

How about tomorrow afternoon?  2:00pm maybe?  If you'd prefer, I'll probably be home around midnight tonight, but makesure you call ahead first to double check.

(...needs his switch!)
