|
|
Yes, I (we) refuse to believe this game is dead and/or dying, and *will* have a LAN party.
So, something of a LAN party would be nice ... There are a lot of German players, so this would be somewhat of an obvious location.
Somewhere in the west of Germany sounds nice, since there are also quite a few Dutch players around ... But I don't know everyone's location so there might be a better "central location"
So, could people who might be interested to come please post their base of operations (i.e. your location) so we can choose a location.
And yes, we will be playing with black guns Psy...

Of course I'm interested in a bigger LAN-Party than with 3 people, like we already did several times this year. It was really funny, but I would like to meet some more of you guys.
My location is Oldenburg, near Bremen in the North-West of Germany.
But maybe we should think about the date, which month or weekend we want to meet? ![Wink](images/smiles/icon_wink.gif) _________________

LAN party - you mean like meeting real persons, like in real life and such? Wouldn't that severely hamper my status as male internet loser - I mean meeting REAL poeple!*starts hyperventilating*
More serious: if time and location allow for it I'll consider taking part. My location is Austria so South to Mid Germany should be within operational range - I can't make any definite answer without knowing a definite date though - work is a tad stressy at the moment (and in the foreseeable future).
Also does black guns mean the SIG is not allowed? _________________ "Anything you do can get you killed, including doing nothing."

hmpf, I once went to a LAN party on a bicycle ... (Ok, it was only a few kilometers...)
You don't have a car? IMO A PC would still be carryable in a train, and maybe if you ask nicely someone can bring a smalled screen for you.... |

I have been on several LAN's now and I can just say:
Open your desktop cases and pull out the graphic cards (and every other expansion).
Agitation killed her pc ( mainboard and gpu) on our way home. At home, when I had to build up our workplaces again, I turned on her pc and just heard a sound like bzzzzzzzz. Then the monitor got dark and the mainboard never worked again...
To reply to the topic:
If I'll come or not depends on where the LAN is located and who else is coming... (e.g I won't travel to russia just to meet a single guy). But I'm interested... |

lol tapijt ik heb wel een auto, een vw golf 5 trendline 1.6 fsi om precies te zijn
alleen het meenemen van de pc en toebehoren is altijd een beetje tricky, het gerammel op slechte wegen kan de pc aardig naar de kloten helpen
btw rutger hauer fan geworden ? komt uit die replicants film ![Smile](images/smiles/icon_smile.gif) |

vtd kickban EGM<P> for use of non-standard forum language no one understands and possession of a Volkswagen Golf V (the most heinous of crimes ).
And getting an Inf-able laptop is not hard - hell, my old Inspiron 9100 could handle the game at 1920x1200 with a meek old Mobility Radeon 9700 (this is a downclocked Radeon 9600, for those who wanted to know) - unless you hit smoke, framerates were fine - 30fps to 80fps depending on map; smoke did pull you into the single digit area though, but I guess this might have been resolved by selecting a lower resolution (never tried, 1920x1200 is just soooo sweet). On a second thought if I actually take part and someone really needs to I could bring my old laptop too - if you have a keyboard, mouse and screen (in case a 15.4 is too small for you) it's just doing nicely. _________________ "Anything you do can get you killed, including doing nothing."

Damnit. I was looking forward to see egm driving his forklifter with attached trailer
@Snakeeye: My Laptop is 5 years old an has a cobold painting images instead of a graphics card. Or it seems like that because even worms didn't run on it... It's a subnotebook I bought for university, so I didn't expect to be able to play games with it... |

vtd kickban XploD for accidentially misspelling my Nick
No serious, I said getting one is not hard - not that every 5 year old POC will run Inf - I've got a 486 Notebook somewhere around and it sure as hell WON'T run Inf (big surprise..). I'd even assume my first "true" laptop won't run Inf decently, although I bought it back then to be able to play games - dunno, does a Gefore Go 440 with 64MB VRAM and a meek old Pentium M 1.7GHz actually run Inf decently? Not that I can find out, since either the GFX card or the Motherboard got screwed a few months after I got my next..
Also what's a subnotebook? Some Nazi term for non-worth-living portable PCs? Or are these those mini-laptops so fashionable in Japan nowadays? Working on a 12" screen must be sooo fulfilling. Point is, if you can barely lift it, it's my kind of notebook - and Computers are not for work and games, just work OR games.
Also Barcelona is definitely out of my area of operations - assuming the suggestion actually was serious. _________________ "Anything you do can get you killed, including doing nothing."

vtk kickban Snakeye for using the bad n-word...
Subnotebooks are smaller and lighter than "normal" notebooks. Mine had a 14" TFT, weighted 1.5 kg and fit into a normal backpack... It's priceless to have such a thing if you'll take train and bycle... |

If wishing is serious then yes.
As far as Germany is concerned, i have too much work these months to plan a trip there. Barcelona actually would be a better possibility for me because i'll probably be there a few times this year (work related) but without a pc. |
