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.

UT 2004
Empire Earth
Command and Conquer 3
Command and Conquer: Generals/Zero Hour

What else is out there?  Is there anything new that we can all play?

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...

  • WarHammer 40K
  • Dungeon Siege II
  • Battlefield II

I meant the other Generals! the one where I'm not completely insane or a "supertard"

Also.

WarHammer 40K  is awesome, lets do that!

Warcraft 3 would be fun but I think Patrick's not a fan.

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 hear gameplay is not so differnt, but they there are a few more gimmicks to the classes, such as spy invisibilty and medic invulerability.  I also hear the maps can change a little between matches.. differnet spawn locations, capture points.. Its supposed to be great TF fun with well balanced classes.  Smiley

Personally, I am pretty stoked about playing Team Fortress again! 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 loved sticky bombs ever since Goldeneye 007 for the N64.

If I couldn't get close enough to my enemies to stick it directly to them, I'd stick them to the front side of the nearest stairwell.  You couldn't possibly see them if you were coming down the stairs until it you were hit with splodey death.

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.

the version I had was pretty straightforward and easy Smiley, you can't play on non-cracked servers, but there is a lan option for us, too.

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.

Ya it doesn't seem like we are going to Chicago that weekend, but another one. And it looks as if Saturday night might be best for us.

Still not sure, but will post later in the day about it.

Woot!  Boss just told me since I put in some extra time on my current project I can either take all of the wednesday before thanksgiving off or take a half day and get overtime!  Getting paid overtime...I think I might cry.  So half day wednesday!


And chalk that up to things I didn't think bob would say...

I immediately mop it up because I don't want anyone to slip and fall.  That's how much I care.

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.

I guess that's a signal that we need to get together and watch some Star Trek: TNG.  I think we should start with episode 1x12, The Big Goodbye, starring my favorite character - Dixon Hill!

Real men, e.g., men who like Kirk, don't need to gloat.  We're secure in our righteousness.

Kirk never had a second life he went to like Dixon Hill...he had the ultimate fantasy...being as awseome as Kirk.  Also for the life of me I never understood why Picard let everyone step over him when he was in that character.

Uhh, because he was in character?  Picard, like Patrick Stewart, is an excellent actor and plays his characters to the fullest.

I'll do my best to make it to the LAN either night once one is definitively decided upon.

Also... Kirk is awesome.  That is all.

You know Kirk is awesome when Cory makes one of three rare posts to state so.

Just Picard would rather read in his moomoo than get it on with a hot orion slave girl just means he's jealous of Kirk's sex appeal.  Shoot even Jadzea Dax got all hot and bothered by him.



Notice...no package...Picard = unisex

Patrick, the fact that you took the time to find that, and then look at his junk.... very sad sir, very sad.

Btw, Eric and I are good for Friday! So i would say Friday is the best for everyone?

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.

Also, no bringing anyone who is going to be offended by me screaming "briney you camping whore!" and then throwing a shoe.

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.

Sure, bring your 360.  I'm not sure where the TV is going to end up, but we'll get everything hooked up.  You wouldn't happen to have Dead Rising, would you?

Better yet:  Asian zombies.

I think "Asian zombies" are probably redundant, much like Asian women drivers.

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 don't have dead rising but I have the demo.  It's still good for some short zombie killing.

I have Oblivion, PGR4, and Assassin's Creed

Oblivion is an excellent game, but I think most of us have played it until our eyes bled.  I'm not a big racing fan, but I've heard good things about PGR4.

You're also not a big fan of the ladies.  Maybe that's why you like wes's mom so much.

The chances of me making it to the LAN are looking pretty good, that being said, I have no idea how to get to Bob's house, could someone e-mail or PM me the directions?

Thanks

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

Well I've been reading my Bible a lot recently and I'm using Jewish tradition of counting this unfulfilled day as a full day.  As well, I am counting a 6 PM LAN as another.

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?

AWwww man, no need to post videos now. Pics are good, but some things should stay hidden.

Also! Great lan, the EE game was fun, and the shoot em up killing. I learned Corey likes to spawn rape more than I do! Also, Craig's mom makes some killer meatballs! I am totally down for a New Year's lan.

I didn't find a "black screw thing", but I'll keep the other stuff in an accessible location for you.  You can either call me when you're in town or pick it up at the New Year's LAN!
