LAN Party 21/11/08 Upper Hutt

[Big Dave]

what does everyone else have?

A life. :-P

[Wasp]

I'm in, I only have my laptop (tosh sat a80 ~ 3 years old) at the moment though which runs Call of Duty 2 or CS ok but not much else

I'll come anyway though, also I have a legit copy of UT2k4 we can use

[Fatjim]

Yeah id be keen folks - not too sure bout the wife call from Nico, perhaps some confusion over what a LAN party is on his behalf.

Yes it is geeky fatjames but hey instead of sitting home looking at KB for the night could actually get together and play out some motogp and shoot some fullas too, and have a few beers.

If someone has a 1Gb network switch then bring that, else well be using the good ole 16 port 10/100mb jobbie. I can suss some tables like last time Riffer and then let the games begin, oh after the obligatory 5hr setup of games and copying etc LOL.

I'm actually semi geek myself. But I'd ride anyday over a lan party. But having said that I might be able to bring a 10G/1G Multi layer switch if you like.

Oh, and I'm old enough to bring beer too.

I am in possibly. I dont have a computer that is up to it (yet) and dont know how to play a lot of the games (yet) but i love that sort of thing.

BTW i am willing to pay a (small) rentall of a good computer for such occashion

Are you gonna be in town next week?

[riffer]

A life. :-P

Yeah but you're OLD.

[bull]

The people are keen so:

Friday 21 November, 4pm onwards.

Bring your own pc, monitor, mouse keyboard, earphones(a must) and a multiplug, you might want to bring a mousepad as the table may not be ideal for your fancy laser mice etc. Beers or something to drink.

I will provide - marae tables, chairs, extension cords for power and have one spare 19inch LCD that someone can borrow. Snacks will be provided and am happy to fire up the bbq for some meat and bread or we can all chip in for some pizza or such. Also 3 matresses and blankets available for the weak whom cant play all night long or the drunk whom cant drive home.

Games i had in mind include:
V8 Supercars - Racing (7gb have installer)
Unreal Tournament 2004 - First Person Shooter (10gb with mods straight copy works)
Battlefield 2 - First Person Shooter (2gb have installer)
Horse Racing - LOL Horse Racing (Oldie 625mb straight copy works)
MotoGP3 - Motorcycle Racing (650mb have installer)
Ghost Recon - First Person Shooter (oldie but works well LAN)
Virtual Skipper - Americas Cup Yacht Racing (1gb installer)

And any other games that people might want to play - but let me know ASAP so i can ensure i get hold of a copy too prior to the night(saves time copying over)

The Gb switch would be great if you could Jim.

If you just want to come and have a few beers and share turns on a few games feel free also.
