N.J. LAN Party '05a 5/21/05

[Synthohol]

i was thinking (a dangerous pastime, i know...) about the 14th, 21st or 28th of May?

same crew, same food?
any takers? i could push it into june but may/nov seems to work i think.

any takers?

[Player0]

may 14th or 21st sounds nice

[dicki]

bugger. i probably won't be over again till next year :( heigh ho...

[dfrancis]

sounds good, I will just be back from hols

[Kopfschuss88]

grr im only half way across the country and am too lazy to grab my liscense :P

[Gabriel]

I could most likely do the 21st. I need a vacation from all this work crap.

[Player0]

Well? When is Steve gonna set a date? :)

[Synthohol]

OK, the 21st it is.
i will rent the bulldozer again and get the basement ready:)

[Synthohol]

bump:)

[Player0]

Ill be there :)

[Synthohol]

Ill be there :)
actually the lan starts on the 22nd, it seems the only way to get you there on time ;)

j/k LOL

no deer this year huh?

[Farabomb]

I should be there.

[Player0]

You better be there ;)

Hah...no dear. No upgrades. Just a nice pre-working machine. Tho, Im not likely to bring tuna mac this time. Im a bit tired of it LOL

[Synthohol]

i could use a head count over the next week or so to determine the amount of dead cow i must purchase as well as other food.
no tuna mac though huh? i might have to restrict you to a 10mbps bandwidth for punishment LOL!

where can i find the half-life multiplayer i have heard about?

also crash provisions will be available (couch/beds) if needed.

[Player0]

We'll see on the tuna mac. I had considered bringing something else, tho Im not sure what that might be lol.

What games are to be played? HL2 multiplayer gets downloaded off of steam. Id love to play some old UT99. BF Vietnam is always good.

[dfrancis]

I should be ok for the 21st, I'll likely need a monitor again steve?
The usual XXX molson ok?

[Synthohol]

unless you can find warsteiner dark beer, its the tits!
thanx :)

any other takers?

[Gabriel]

I should be able to be there for the 21st. I don't really care what we play, as I usually come for the company. I may end up taking off that night, but I suppose it depends on how drunk I get (past LAN's tell me I will be slurring)

I am psyched, again.

[Synthohol]

Two more weeks, I'm psyched!

hey Gabe, if you bring the bass again, we will jam this time!

[Synthohol]

any more takers? the usual crowd is fine but it would be nice to see Player0 fragging someone else for a change:)

[dfrancis]

don't worry steve, he still can't fly a chopper in BFV too well ;)

[Farabomb]

Don't worry, you'll have me for a target.

Every time I get in a chopper in BFV I end up in a big ball of flame. :)

[Flybye]

Please don't forget your IP address here.
I'd love to join if you guys decide to play HL2 or UT04 :)

[Player0]

hL2 would be interesting. Ive been playing some Counterstrike actually. It can be fun really.

Im up for anything though. Yeah, I dont have a light touch for the choppers. On the other hand, I never bothered adjusting the mouse sensetivity! I do okay in flightsims tho. I think i just need a joystick :)

[dfrancis]

lol, I've never got the joystick to work in BFV :(

[Gabriel]

I would love to get some Jedi Academy going for old times sake. I don't think I still have Vietnam on my comp, so forget about the nightmare of trying to install that god foresaken thing again.

[Synthohol]

4 more days:):)

[Player0]

So whats the game list? I want to make sure to have everything installed and updated before I come.

[Gabriel]

Steve, can you post the address again, I am retarded.

I should be leaving NY at about 9:30-10AM to get down there between 11:30-12, if all goes as planned and nothing blows up. The wife is even letting me take her car, which I must say, almost caused me to shat myself.

[Synthohol]

tom, whatever is in the bible we will play ;)
gabe you have PM

anyone else need my address?

[Synthohol]

Steve, can you post the address again,
I am retarded.
that was a request...then a seperate statement, right?

so,
tom
abi
al
gabe
dave
me

who else wants to join, and yes i will publish my IP on gameday in another thread along with pix all day

[Gabriel]

I will have a buddy from my Matrix Online group joining in via the net, so if anyone knows what games we will definitely be playing, other than UT, can you post em?

[Farabomb]

I'm there, probally +1

Steve, call me so I know that I have to go shopping for. :)

[Synthohol]

Flank Steak, Chicken Winks, Buffalo Sauce

[Player0]

Ooo...we want wingys.

Ill see what I can bring. Steve, I could use you to PM me your address again too so I can find you.

[illmatik]

Wish I could make it, but my current class is thrashing me and this online format is a mofo.. 7 days a week for 5 weeks, then one week off. I make a buffalo wing sauce that has been awarded praise by many citizens of the Wing Capital of the World. Yeah yeah, youve heard it all before. That's a bold statement! I'll take the Pepsi Challenge with that Amsterdam stuff any day of the week! LOL [/endpulpfictionrecital] If it's not work, it's school for me, it sux. I could always post one of my recipes if I can find my little blue book hehehe. I promise I'll make it to one of these things before LAN parties become a thing of the past.. or I hit lotto and never look at a computer again ;)

[Nut]

Mmmm...please post the wing sauce recipe. I'm a connoisseur of the wingies.
I've even been dumb enough to try a local places "Flatliner" wings, in which you must sign a legal waiver before ordering. Lets just say...have you ever seen lip skin peel off like Elmers glue? It was very bad. I don't like them that hot but I was at the place swillin beers for a few hours and a buddy talked me into doin it. My mouth burned for at least an hour. Now I know to drink a glass of milk to kill the hotness. Its freakin magic.

I wish I was coming because I am rather close to NJ but I have a friend coming into town from Denver that I haven't seen since Jan. Sounds like it will be a good time and good food :thumbsup:

[illmatik]

Yeah milk is a lifesaver. Hot hot ones can still get ya tho .after the dairy swirling and curdling around w/ wing sauce and beer can cause other types of problems later on :0

[Cabal]

OMFG! :scared:

i musta missed this post somehows, i know its short notice.. is it ok if i stop by steve? i need outtta my house........ let me know and pm address if ok. Give me something to bring as well i never know whats needed. booze, food or whatever. :drinky:

Last edited by Synthohol : Yesterday at 02:32 AM. Reason: thread unstuck because stickies dont show up when you click "stuff"

thats prolly why:)

[Player0]

I guess its back down to the basic Bump!

As far as games, lets get a list together so we can all have installed and spend less time patching.

I vote for:
UT04
BF Vietnam
HL2/CounterStrike CS
Jedi Knight/Outcast or Academi?

Im assuming we'll only play UT or BF anyway but there are other games :)

I have Swat4. Does FarCry have multiplayer? CoD:UO seems popular.

Food...I can chip in if we need more. I think we had a bit of a shortage. Ill see about tuna mac, but I dont mind laying out some for Hot Dogs or whatever.

Oh Steve, the moneys for the PC you got from me, just use it for the party.

[Synthohol]

Oh Steve, the moneys for the PC you got from me, just use it for the party.
thanx:) however i still have a hundred bucks for LN under my keyboard for ya and i wont take no for an answer.
so there!

[WackyComputer]

Don't drink too much or blow up the house. Do take some pictures this time and have a blast!:)

[Synthohol]

we will miss you this round, at least once a month i remember you saying "Steve...look at your screen..quick" and then fragging me to bits because i was talking and not playing:)

[dfrancis]

bloody graphics card is playing up now, I'm well ready for the end of this week,lol
I will be there, but I may have nothing more than a box of beer and a smile,lol

[Synthohol]

no worries dave, i still have HAL9000 that dicki played on when he jumped the pond to play with us, just bring a good mouse and a monitor worst case.

hey, read my "right before the LAN" thread in this forum, you will get a laugh!
your vid card is minor compared to my issues now:)

[dfrancis]

just saw it, ouch!!

[Farabomb]

It has begun. :D

[dfrancis]

Sorry guys :(
I will try and get over for at least a beer this evening.

[WackyComputer]
