Please bring your own network cable and soda/beer/etc. Anyone interested in pizza if you want to bring $5 to contribute we can order in some Papa Johns or Venezia's.

Hmmm, possibly.  Depends on the games and space.  I'll send you a pm with some questions later.

Wish I had my own PC. I'd be there if I did.

If I make it, I can bring a spare if there's an extra monitor

I have a spare monitor.  I'm good friends with Gov, I'll let him know.

Sounds fun, I'm just a couple miles away from you.  I can do Friday afternoons or anytime saturday.

[thegovernator]

That would be awesome mace. Keep me posted if your going to make it.

[XavierMace]

I wouldn't be able to make a Friday afternoon, Saturday I'd be up for.  Personally I'm more of a strategy guy, but that typically doesn't get much interest.  I'm always up for BF2 or UT2k4, although I suck at the latter.  Or L4D, depending on the turn out.  Other possible ideas would be Dead Island or Borderlands.  If anyone is of the strategy preference, Supreme Commander and Sins of a Solar Empire are always good for several hours of fun.

As I mentioned, my rig isn't the smallest setup (which is why I frequently use my spare for LAN parties, so what kind of room do we have to work with?  Also, what all do we need to bring with?  I've got extra CAT5 and switches if needed.  Possibly some extra power strips.  I can also bring some hardware to sell.  LOL.

Far drive for me, but like most depending on the day I'm down.

Also wondering about space. I have my main and my spare. My main is kind of huge, and watercooled so it might be a hassle. my spare is more than enough normally.

Game wise I'm down for BF3 and BF2. TF2, GMOD, I like RTS but currently only have Command and Conquer up until 4. but I might be willing to grab some more titals of the steam store.

[Dayton]

L4D, L4D2, I'd have to re-install BF2, BF3, Borderlands, Warcraft 3 FT, Red Alert 3, Alien Swarm (it's free), Killing Floor, Any of Valves Source Engine games.

Also, Gov doesn't have all these games since he doesn't have a Comp, Does anybody have a spare steam account for the night? Or if we do all this offline LAN mode, he shouldn't have a problem, right?

Once we get a date set, I'll make sure to get my steam account up and running in offline mode before hand.

[nukeduster]

I have copies of various steam games that can be used in offline mode but not online mode...

Copies of L4D, Counter Strike source, Day of Defeat Source, CnC Generals, CnC RA2, Half Life Deathmatch source, UT, CoD, Ghost Recon, Cossacks, Civ4, Civ5, TF2, Warhammer 40k.

I'm setting the date for Saturday, Aug 18th. 5pm-2am

[INFIDEL]

I will say yes or no for sure closer to the date, but as of now I'm saying yes.

Quick question however for Internet/Lan on my spare (which I would be using) I can be hardwired or wireless but my wireless card likes to drop on and off, so hardwired would be best. anyways life story over. whats the plan for linking up as of now?

[XavierMace]

Off hand, I know I've got extra copies of L4D, L4D2, UT2k4, BF2, Civ V, Magicka, Demigod, SupCom, and Sins installed on my spare system.

I will say I'm completely burned out on Alien Swarm, played that far too much.  A good World in Conflict LAN match would be fantastic if people were so inclined.

If you guys play BF3, SC2, or WC3 TFT, I'll kick your asses online from Tucson

[thegovernator]

 That is the weekend for the the family campout but no worries. No need to change the date just for me (the guy without a comp)

I prefer playing good games.
