LAN Party At The Barn - View
Log
Despite the power and virus problems we had, we still had a good
event. We checked out Medal Of Honor for the first time and it was
a pleasant change. Hadn't played it's multiplayer version before
and it seemed slightly more enjoyable than Return To Castle Wolfenstein's.
Let us know what you think. Jedi Knight 2 and Soldier Of Fortune
2 also look promising as well. So many first-person-shooter games
to choose from! Anyway, check out the pictures of the party on the
Pictures page.
The tournament went some what smoother this time around (with
the exception of the power going out). Congratulations to Jackal
for taking 1st! By not using new player models on the server, the
problems with workstations not being able to connect was non-existent.
We also introduced the 20 second Free-For-All tournament countdown
which made it much easier to make sure all those with slower machines
had the same amount of playtime as the faster ones. Check out the
other tournament prize winners HERE.
We also had the added bonus of having KCRA
Channel 3 visit us both Friday night and Saturday morning! They
were interested in doing a story about the latest trend of network
parties in Northern California and wanted to visit ours as a sampling.
Don't miss when it airs on Friday, May 10th at 11PM and maybe
a repeat showing Saturday morning, May 11th. Does anyone have
a video capture card who can get a good sample for the rest of us?
If nothing else, a good VHS/SVHS copy?
Unfortunately for diggles, his machine literally fried once he plugged
it in at the party. Something shorted and caused it to blow-out.
Both of his hard drives and his power supply were burnt up with
possibly more damaged hardware. So needless to say, he didn't get
much play time in. ToiletSouth was kind enough to let him share
his PC throughout the day. Thanks ToiletSouth!
