X Post Whore FTP Server Offline Truth Is Treason, In The Empire Of Lies Posts: 3903 Gender:	LAN!!!!! Mar 24^th, 2009 at 12:16pm I'm in the mood for a LAN, ladies and gentlemen. I am willing to host and provide food and drinks if you will provide your table and seating, and of course your huge, powerful, large...computers. Is there a time that works best? Maybe this weekend? Saturday? How about next weekend? X

Reply #3 - Mar 24^th, 2009 at 8:52pm I've been dying to play Catan, and seriously thought about picking it up a couple weeks ago. The $45 price tag is a bit of a turn-off, though. Do you have it? -b0b (...hasn't played a board game since 1924.)

Reply #4 - Mar 24^th, 2009 at 9:56pm no, unfortunately, I don't have it, but I know 2 people who do, so it might be possible to borrow it for a day from one of them. We might even get the 2 expansions, seafarares and cities and knights, which would be great!

Reply #10 - Mar 25^th, 2009 at 11:56am SMAC is kinda "meh" in my book. Halo on PC is complete, totally, powerfully retarded. It's so incredibly bad that I don't understand why Microsoft even bothered publishing it. I'd be up for some good ol' Call of Duty 4, though. -b0b (...will rock your face.)

I may show up with a dessert of some sort (devoid of fruit, in accordance with Studabakerian regulations) as well as a machine lacking any of the games mentioned above. This may limit participation level and length of visit, but it would be nice to see you guys nontheless.

*I taught a four-year-old how to play Contra last night, and between the two of us and the Konami code, we made it halfway through the game. His dad started him off on his old Atari system, and he's now able to handle the early Nintendo consoles. Gotta start 'em early, right?

Actually, that might be a better idea. I've got an exam to complete this weekend, and time will be crunched as it is.

What club did you join?

Thanks for hosting a sweet LAN, Stewie!

After watching you play Fallout 3 this weekend, I had to fire up my saved game last night and give it another run through. It still has some life in it!

I think we should get together more often to play a board game or two. Risk was awesome, and I'm ready to throw down on Briney for his last-round antics!
