Thanksgiving LAN - Friday, November 23rd at 6:00pm
Nov 2^nd, 2007 at 3:26pm

Just throwing it out there and seeing if there is any interest. This goes for Friday night, sat night of that weekend. I am sure most of you guys are busy on Thursday.

So... who can make it? And can you host bob? I would love to but I kind of live in Ann Arbor.

Edit: I changed the topic to reflect the final date and time.

You beat me to it, Briney. I was just thinking about posting a thread with the same title (although with LAN capitalized!) earlier today.

I'd be more than happy to host a LAN on Friday (November 23rd) or Saturday (November 24th). You should add a poll to this thread with both dates so we can choose which one is best. Make sure to enable the multiple choice option so people can choose both dates if both work for them.

Supreme Commander runs like crap on my system. I haven't played Empire Earth 3 yet. I'll download it this week and give it a try.

I didn't forget Generals, supertard. It's in my list! Call of Duty is a good one, too. We could also bust out...

That's why I said "Generals/Zero Hour" to indicate both! Besides, Wes isn't here on a regular basis, so somebody needs to do some immature name-calling.

I'm up for some Warcraft 3. It's been a long time since I've played WarHammer 40k or WarCraft 3, so I'll definitely need to brush up a bit.

I remember some of the more fun LANs we had were TFC heavy. The balance between all the classes is great! But we need to get a lot of people at the LAN so we can have a good amount of teams.

I've got my N64 at home now, so I can always bust it out if anyone wants to play. I bought extra controllers and Rumble Paks on eBay, so I've got four fully-equipped controllers now.

That sounds good. We should try to install them ahead of time if at all possible.

Got a question semi related, bob, do you work friday? If not, what the hell time are you going to wake up and get done with your morning business (mar) so maybe we could get some file sharing done during the day. And I could stand to probably install some games before the LAN.

btw, pat, bring your seasons of smallville, I need them all!

And bob, this is a preemptive SHH!

I don't know, but I'm guessing the answer is yes. I don't think there has been an official decision yet, but I don't have high hopes.

If all else fails, I'll have everything ready by 7:00pm Friday evening at the latest.

NEWB!!!

He was reciting poetry and professing his "love" to Mrs. Troy so the Ferangi would let her go because he thought Picard was going to destroy his ship over her.

First of all, NEWB, it's Deanna Troi, with an I.

Second, I claim a superior Star Trek knowledge because I can name the specific episode. It was episode 24 of season three, entitled Ménage à Troi.

"My love is a fever, longing still for that which no longer nurseth the disease. In faith, I do not love thee with mine eyes, for they in thee a thousand errors see, but tis my heart that loves what they despise, who in spite of view are pleased to dote. Shall I compare thee to a summer's day? Thou art more lovely, and more temperate."

The quote was taken from several of Shakespeare's sonnets, namely sonnet 147 and sonnet 18.

This episode also featured the promotion of Wesley "Call the Fashion Police" Crusher to full ensign. Moreover, Ethan Phillips (Neelix from Voyager) made his first Star Trek appearance in this episode.

I'm sorry I don't know how to spell their names...after all...I don't write erotica fan fiction 12 hours a day like you.

Second of all...was anyone else annoyed with Neelix in Voyager. He was a nice character for the most part but he felt like an uncle who talks to you when you're an adult like you were 6 still. I was not sad to see him leave and I would rather have had Tuvok smile rather than do that half-arsed "jig" for him at the end.

Good to see the LAN is going to happen Friday. Should be fine for me seeing as I will be driving up Wednesday morning (got the day off, woot!). And is John Carter serious about me coming in....is it a tarp?

Anywho if he is I might be able to make it there by lunchtime Wednesday.

On a side note, anyone play Quake Wars yet? That might be a pretty fun LAN game to add to the list. I have played it a total of 5 minutes and it was fun the whole time! Just like...

For what it's worth, Briney, you do have an incredibly disturbing array of Hoff pictures.

It looks like Friday is our final date, then! Since Mere and I have a TV in the living room now, we may have to spread out a bit. Don't forget to bring tables! I think I still have somebody's folding table from several years back, but I'll have to look to make sure. If I have it, it will be there on Friday.

Quake Wars might work, but I'm just barely scraping by on the CPU requirement:

Quote:

Quake Wars Requirements
Intel Pentium 4 2.8 GHz or AMD Athlon XP 2800+ processor
512 MB RAM (768 MB RAM for Windows Vista)
128 MB NVIDIA Geforce 5700 or ATI Radeon 9700 with OpenGL 2.0 drivers
DirectX 9.0c compatible sound card
750 MB of free hard drive space

I'm still using my crappy AMD Athlon XP 3000+, so I'm not sure how well it's going to run. I'll download it and give it a try, though!

It sounds like just about everybody is coming. Here's the list of LANners so far...

Briney
Eric
Stewie
Spanky
Corey
b0b
Rodney

I don't remember if Stick has posted yet or not, but I'll scroll back and look.

We rarely play more than three games, so five is probably a good number. We'll inevitably have to wait for someone to install each and every game anyway.

For instance, I know I'm going to have to copy somebody's UT2k4 install file because my legal version never works with everybody's pirated version.

If Stick is coming, I can pretty much guarantee that Quake Wars isn't going to work on his lapper.

I think we should focus on TF2, Empire Earth, Call of Duty, and UT2004. Quake Wars is probably going to be wholly dependent on who shows up.

We've got four Wii controllers and four nunchuks, so the Wii should be ready for four players. Mere and I have downloaded a fair number of Virtual Console titles, too, so those are available for play.

The only problem with the Wii and the TV is the location. The TV is sitting to the right of the fireplace in the living room, so it won't be very accessible if everybody is setup in the living room.

I can probably move the Wii back into the office and hook it up to the Ghettotron 4000 TV in there.

Wow, Mere and I really need to invest in a house. This apartment is getting smaller every day!

It is possible that I might want to bring some extra folks to the LAN and I just wanted to check with yall. Susie brother Josh, and maybe 1 or 2 people from work. one of the guys from work loves Empire earth one, which was pretty funny.

Also, the lead FX artist from Empire Earth 3 was at our studio a few weeks ago and brought along the game to look at. It was pretty nice, but still had stuff from 2. Also a really good player thats turtling can go from caveman to Nano in about 50 mins! Thats a little nutty. They sped up the game like crazy.

Thanksgiving LAN - Friday, November 23rd at 6:00pm
Reply #127 - Nov 16^th, 2007 at 8:51am

You can bring whoever you want! Are they going to bring PC's? People that don't bring PC's usually end up very bored, but they can always bust out Risk if they get too restless.

If they bring PC's, I probably shouldn't move my PC out of the office. I figure we can get two people at the kitchen table and maybe six (comfortably) in the living room. We can also put a couple people in the office if somebody has a folding table.

Confirmed:

Briney
Eric
Stewie
Spanky
Corey
b0b
Rodney
Josh (Susie's Brother)

Unconfirmed:

Briney's "Friend" from Work #1
Briney's "Friend" from Work #2
Stick

So, we've got up to 8-11 LANners, plus Meredith, Jamie, and Susie. Does that look just about right?

In the whoring industry, you get paid based on your talent. Unfortunately, you have a very, very small talent.

I know this first of all because the Simpsons had a joke about it in the Billion Dollar bill episode. I also saw some of the shenanigans on a TV show called 30 days...gay people are creepy...that's not homophobic...it's just the truth. I mean...who knew that so much leather can be worm and cover so little.

I live at WaterFront Apartments, just down the street from Scidmore Park.

If you turn onto Spring Street from Michigan Avenue, go all the way down to the 90° right turn. Turn left at that curve into the driveway instead of following the road.

I live in building 409, which is the first building on your left as you pull into the parking area.

If all else fails, you can always MapBlast the address:

James R. Rogers
409 Thomas Street, #12
Three Rivers, MI 49093

Fantastic LAN, guys! I think it was just about the right size. It wasn't too crowded, but we had a good showing!

I've got some pictures that I'll post later, along with some videos of Briney looking stupid playing Wii Boxing.

Are we still on for a New Year's LAN?

Also, Craig's mom makes some killer meatballs! I am totally down for a New Year's lan.
