Thanksgiving LAN! - Friday, November 28th at 7:00pm!
Nov 10^th, 2008 at 1:59pm

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!

Reply #4 - Nov 11^th, 2008 at 3:15pm 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.

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.

Reply #11 - Nov 14^th, 2008 at 11:52am 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!)

Reply #13 - Nov 14^th, 2008 at 10:34pm 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!
