Come on, guys!  Let's do it!

-b0b
(...wants a real LAN with games!)

I'll be gone from the 22 to the afternoon of the 26th...also we should do a New Years party again if anyone is up for it?

X

Meaning the 22nd or the 29th?

I still don't know if I'm leaving yet on the 22 or the 23.  Either way you guys have fun and plan it with what's convent for you.  I can always catch another one.

X

Well if Friday works for all you guys then go for it...I'll find out sometime soon if I leave on Sat or Friday.

X

Looks like I'm leaving on Thursday so you guys have fun with your LAN and think about having a New Years one if you're up for one and don't have any other plans.  If the mains hosters (mainly Bob :-P ) can't or doesn't want to have one...I could host another board game party. 

Just some thoughts.

Heck yeah, I'm all about the New Year's LANnage!

I propose a rule - all games must be decided on by no later than the end of the day on December 25th.  That'll give us a full work week to work on downloading/cracking the games so we'll be ready to play when we arrive on Saturday the 30th.

LAN law?

-b0b
(...LAN law!)

How about some

Call of Duty
Empire Earth
and some old school SMAC?

X

I vote UT2004, CoD, and C&C Generals Zero Hour.  I would be down for EE although I haven't played in probably a year. 

If someone can't be setup by party time, show up early to install.

Do I need to add a poll or something?  For crying out loud!

-b0b
(...just wanted an excuse to say that.)

Dude, you should easily be able to cover some of the older games we're talking about, like Empire Earth.

-b0b
(...could run it on a 286.)

Alright, guys, there's your freakin' poll.  I'd recommend choosing at least one real-time strategy game and one first-person shooter, but that's just my opinion.

-b0b
(...picked UT and C&C:GZH, FTW!)

I'll be at Church on Sunday evening so I won't I won't be home until ~8:30pm.  Is that alright with everyone?

-b0b
(...is glad he had Monday off!)

well lets not get crazy... 8:31 is fine by me.


ok, 9 is good.

I know what the apts are called but I can't remember exactly which one...may you tell me?

Giddy up a 409...409 409...nothing can stop this///nothing can stop my 409...409

Beach Boys mad some good music.

If IBC Cream Soda constitutes booze, I'm in!

-b0b
(...is craving cream soda like woah!)

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?

-b0b
(...needs to know these things.)

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.

X

So should we bring anything to the par-te? (party)?

X

Why are you out again?!

(Still has plenty!)

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!

(...really, really needs some sleep!)

Went to bed at 11:30 and woke up at about 5:30PM...then I didn't go to bed until 7AM and slept to 3:30 PM

(Feels all discombobulated)

I slept from 12:00pm to 7:30pm and went to sleep at 1:00am and woke up at 8:30am.  I'm back on track now.
