Great, we've got a freakin' tie.  Will one of you guys ask FatMan to break it for us?  Otherwise, I think we should go with Call of Duty, UT2004, and C&C: Generals Zero Hour.

Call of Duty and C&C: Generals Zero Hour are already on the server.  I've got a legal copy of UT2004, so you guys will have to torrent a copy if you need it.

Stick, I can arrange to have a copy of UT2004 downloaded for you if you need it.

For what it's worth, I've got Call of Duty and its expansion, United Offensive available.  I also have Call of Duty 2.  Are we sticking with the original or what?

I have those same CoDs as well just in case other people don't.

I think we should try CoD2 first because we've never played that one on Multi and I'd like to see what it's like with the better graphics.  However I think the original is still our favs for Multi since we've got our machine gun nest in the building level and of course Pavlov.

I have a legal copy of UT2K4 and I have all the games on the pole installed already except earth2160 which is not a contender anyway.

Yes that is my 1776 ship taking the final kill in one of the most intense Empire Earth games at a LAN.

Thanks for LAN bob!

Here is the game summary in detail.  I'd resize the images, but it's 10:00am and I really need some sleep!








It was the four of us (Stewie, Stick, Briney and I) against a medium bot, which is wickedly hard in Empire Earth.  I was closest to the bot so I got my butt handed to me right off the bat.  I withdrew into Stewie's base (thanks Stewie!) and regrouped, but since I no longer had any resource piles, I was mostly stuck with producing food and chopping trees.


That meant my epoch progression was insanely slow (over an hour longer than everyone else!) but I had a ridiculous amount of food and wood.  I eventually managed to recapture my own base and we had a four way bot-stomping good time.

Easily one of the best LAN's in years!

So when did you guys wake up on Monday?  I slept from 11:30am until 9:00pm, got up and made dinner, then curled up with a good book (Redemption of Althalus by David Eddings, which I finished) for a couple hours before going back to bed.

Best.

New Years.

Ever.
