<![CDATA[lan on sat, oct 1]]>planning for only saturday this week, i'm bogged down with writing and reading.

who can i count in this week? on this list so far...
adam
from school:
chris
erik
pat?
subway?
andrea?

there are a couple of guys in the gaming club here that i think will be connecting remotely because they don't want to move their desktop/tower.
it looks like we'll be using at least one of the gaming machines with andrea coming, but i'm trying to snag another new, computerless person from my german class.

amicheze, hobokamera, pin, can i expect to see your smiling faces again this weekend?
new people are always appreciated, let me know if you know of anyone interested in joining up.
i'm hoping we'll be able to get at least 10 this week.

if you dont like what we play, either shut the fuck up and dont come, or bring the games you want to play along with the various keys/cracks needed for a lan. dont be a douche.

if gaming were a higher priority, i would buy games and machines so that more people could just come over and play. however, if i dumped that much money into equipment and software, then i would want people to pay for the privilege of playing at lan parties (similar to lan-tech on university). however, i don't ask for anything (except donations for munchies) when people come over to play. nathan and i have built 2 extra machines that play everything quite nicely, and we don't ask for anything in return.
i don't charge for soda, water, munchies (whether i whip up some pot of stuff or just buy chips), electricity, machine usage, space, parking, internet connection, etc... the list goes on. my intent in organizing all of these events is because i know that most other people like to play games against real people (hence two player mode) instead of just cpu controlled characters. well, the only way to play against other people is to make it possible for others to join in, and not everyone has a fast enough connection... so we set up a large enough network and invite people over. everything kind of fell together.

i suppose it would depend on whether or not this ventrilo is linux friendly or not, that's the main reason we use teamspeak, and it makes playing et way easier. with bf1942, i just set up a dedicated server on my laptop

Also Ventrilo is way better then teamspeak

if you and/or bill plan to join from home, you should make sure you have a microphone and headphones to use teamspeak.
