Game List

[DAve]

Games we have and would like to play at the LAN.

We really need a more formal way working out who has what game with spreadsheets / databases. It would be so much better than posting and guessing what everyone will bring.

[Phizz]

ET
Dawn of War
Dawn of War: Winter Assault (yay for birthdays!!)

[Fyndir]

Dawn of War
Dawn of War: Winter Assault (yay for birthdays!!)

I do believe we'll have to have one on one DoW:WA matches just for shits and giggles anytime we're not playing another game with everyone else, since the rest of them seem to be stuck with regular DoW and I do enjoy spamming the hell out of people with fucking hordes of Guardsmen running around being mostly useless. =D

[Phizz]

I will try to sort something out with a friend of mine who also has winter assault. He's good enough to take on the new improved Hard AI for winter assault so be prepared to face tough opposition.

Be gentle, I'm new to it.

Actually I think I'll go play more single player skirmishes like the sad git I am. =P

[Phizz]

I'll sort something out soon. Just need to find a day when I'm not worrying about a job.

Return to Castle Wolfenstein (saw Fyndir mention it, never tried it MP before)


The MP on it isn't great, but it can be a laugh to mess around with and the missions are quite fun.

[DAve]

I'm up for some racing games this time (i'll bring my wheel) I've been meaning to try them for a long while. And vc2 demo might be fun.

Has anyone tried NFSU:2. It's racing, but more arcade racing (unlike some racing sims :)

[Strings]

Yeh I have, its quite good... but you cant play it for that long.

One big LAN race, with everyone playing, no matter what the game would be awesome IMO.

[Sideshow]

[Bluepixie]

BF2 (full game if possible, demo doesnt like playing for some reason)
J

If I remember correctly, the BF2 demo has trouble with the 7800 cards, somthing to do with the pixel shaders and lighting. Or maybe it's just that EA are gay......

....anyway.

erm and other stuff.

Dave, I shall try make a list from this thread and make a rough timetable.

Be sure and timetable for the CS1.6 Tournament thing that's trying to be planned.

I'm NOT doing a timetable for a CS 1.6 Tournament.

Reason?

This a LAN, not a competition. If there are group(s) that want to play competitively they should arrange another date specifically. At the end of the day, what Dave says goes, but I believe that a tournament will disrupt the LAN. I’m all up for arranging a more serious gathering but I think this should be organised properly with prizes etc. No point going halfway house.

*shrugs*

I'd just assumed it was happening at the next LAN, I really don't know though, I'm new, go easy. =(

[Bluepixie]

Im sorry man, it just got by back up there. :(

It's just that it will take up too much time and cause the LAN group to break off into "groups". Much more fun to have everyone playing the same game, gets a better atmosphere. Bring on the BF2! :D And 00:00 games of AvP2. Phizz, you're mine.
:twisted:

I suppose I'll need to get AVP2 sometime. =/

I seem to be missing a lot of key games that you guys have, makes me sad. =P

Oh well, they invented air pistols, threatening behaviour and shops for a reason. >_>
<_<

Only joking, I'll get them all eventually.

[DAve]

At the end of the day, what Dave says goes, but I believe that a tournament will disrupt the LAN. I’m all up for arranging a more serious gathering but I think this should be organised properly with prizes etc. No point going halfway house.

I want to make something very clear: I'm doing this for the fun of LAN-ing, not because I like organising things. Yes, I did set this up, but this is my last year and I want to make GUNS last way beyond my time here. In that respect it's not my club, it's our club. I'm not running a dictatorship, I've tried to listen to the club as a whole, encourage members to speak out and improve things. I think it's only by doing this that the club will get better and hopefully last into the future.

The competition is a good idea, but as bluepixie says, we've got limited time and a massive CS comp would (I think) suck up too much of that. We're probably going to end up playing CS for about 2 hours each day, given the previous lans average, so using some of that time would probably be a good move.

What I'm suggesting is we ask the people at the LAN what they want to do: a big CS game or a competition for one of the slots. If you're up for organising it, then go for it. Even if there's just 6 of us, I still think it will be fun. But as one of the people organising the lan, I think we have to try and maximise the fun for everyone. It's a hard balance to strike sometimes.

So: start small. Organise a small competition at the November LAN and work it from there. If there's demand, it'll show. That's my suggestion anyway, Bluepixie & Exuus have as much say in this as part of the committee. I'm sure a lot of people will try anything once. If they like it, it's yours to run with.

[Bluepixie]

Sounds fair to me. :)

I shall try to look at this timetable thing with respect to a 5hr (in total) CS comp which Sid shall organise. In the meantime, we can have chat about it over a pint on Wed.

[Phizz]

Phizz, you're mine.
:twisted:

Dream on Pred boy. :twisted:

And it be the full game for AvP2.

[Exuus]

Vietcong 2 Demo as well (TrombOWNED!) :)

[Strings]

Yeh Exuus you better be ready. Ive mastered the booby trap sticks. 8)

[Phizz]

[Fyndir]

You can borrow mine at some point, it should run just about any game around.

I'll sleep under the drinks table while you do so. =P

[Fyndir]

Have any of you tried Dystopia?

It's a very nice HL2 multiplayer Mod, Still in production but the demo offers one level and works online. =)

[DAve]

Have any of you tried Dystopia?
Yes, I downloaded a copy of this, and had a muck about offline. It looks really quite good. The online aspects are a bit ...odd... but very worthwhile.

I'll bring it to the LAN anyway.

The whole hacking thing confuses me, so I just go with guns and stuff and shoot people, I got quite decent at it.

However today something's not quite right with my little machine, it crashes when running HL2 / Source engine based stuff and eventually errors when running HL1 / CS engine based stuff. =/

I'm currently blaming the graphics card, it might be the RAM though.


In other news: I discovered that I seem to have 2 spare RAM slots, given that I currently have 2 in use with 512 in each this is good, so I might have to see about possibly upgrading to 2GB of RAM at some point.

[Strings]

You can go 2 Gig quite cheap really. As long as you dont go for 4 sticks of 512MB your fine.

[Fyndir]

Yeah, I was thinking I might replace the current 2 of 512 I have with 2 of 1024 instead, just to keep access times as low as I can.

[Bluepixie]

Keep on topic people! Anything else you guys wanna play?

[Fyndir]

It WAS on topic!

We were discussing a game we might want to play and I mentioned an issue I've been having with it (or more specifically the engine it uses) and a possible solution then Strings offered further guidance for me. =P

[Bluepixie]

ok fair enough.

*Bluepixie goes off to sulk*

[Fyndir]

ok fair enough.

*Bluepixie goes off to sulk*

Just come to bed babeh, pappa make it all better. :lol:


I do hope you like innuendos..

[bluntpencil2001]

Jedi Academy (If someone will share disks with me, or loan me a crack - legal since I own a copy, my idiot brother forgot to post mine to me...)

AvP2

Rome: TW (And Barbarian Invasion)

UT2004

I might be able to get a hold of Starlancer if anybody is up for it too... >=D

[Phizz]

oohh. Just remembered. Freelancer might be good and doesn't seem to have probs with multiple people using the same CD over a LAN.

[Strings]

Aye Freelancer dogfights could be cool.

[Fyndir]

It looks like I won't be able to play anything on the Source engine at the LAN, I've tried everything I can think of and anytime I try to run a Source engine based game my computer restarts.

I'm guessing it's either a problem with my RAM or it's just overheating and turning off.

I'm gonna see if I can nab a 1GB RAM stick to replace one of my 512s in time for the LAN incase that fixes it, but I make no promises.

[bluntpencil2001]

Who is up for some Freelancer piracy!? YAR! A pirate wing we be!

Pirates in space! If only it had ninjas too!

I think you'd be better removing the CS tournament from the Saturday daytime activities. I'm keen to play whatever the main game throughout the prime-time Saturday afternoon rather than the CS tournament.

I'd provisionally scheduled 2 matches each at 8, 9 and 10pm on the Saturday evening. How about moving UT2004 up to 7pm (an hour for dinner is sufficient - most people sit eating&playing at their computer anyway). Then UT2004 can be played for a few hours if people wish, while a few people might dissapear for the tournament after 8pm.

Games I don't have: HaloCTF, BF2(demo)[I have the full version, I'll see if I can download the demo before the LAN], UT2004, HL2 stuff may be a problem I'm currently working on fixing it though so we'll see, Q3, JKA.

I wonder how many of them are freeware that I could easily download before the LAN?

[Sideshow]

All the freeware games and demos should be available from the GUNS server.

[Fyndir]

All the freeware games and demos should be available from the GUNS server.

Ah right, so I shouldn't sit and argue with my network about whether or not I can download a few hundred MB of files? =P

I'm guessing by this you mean one of the various things I'll be connected to during the LAN, right?

[Sideshow]

Yes. DAve has a spare machine we [supposedly] use to host ventrilo and otehr stuff. It's also set up as an ftp server which people can upload to freely. Most free games should be on it by now.

Excellent, I'll be there by 10 and set myself up (assuming someone will have an ethernet cable to sell me before DAve gets there..) then start nabbing install files and such as soon as possible.

That was just testing the new graphical confirmation (read spamtrap) for the login. I had to test post somewhere, and I thought I could delete it before someone posted a reply to it.

Ahh, I see.

Well my browser logs me in automatically for simplicity, so I don't have to know.

Also I don't know if it's physically possible to make a post and delete it before I've seen it and replied if I'm online and not playing a game when you make the post. =P
