25 Mar 2005 - Recap - Lan Party
Posted By: That One Guy
The Beginning
The Players
Well, to put it lightly, I think I cursed the Lan Party to begin with by titling the information sheet I handed out to Lan Party Guests, "The Lan Party to End All Lan Parties." It seems that's exactly what we set out to do, as all but two attendees had some sort of issue with their computer during the night; ranging from a disabled network card, all the way up to blue-screens-of-death/reboots and random kicks out to the desktop during a game.
We were originally slated for 17 people... we had 9 show, which left us
with about 6 leftover pizzas. hehe
Once we got things rolling though, we had a good time. Special Thanks to
Toxic Waste (Dave) for setting up the packages for the lan party. While
we may have a few kinks to work out with it, the concept rocks for making
the parties go smoother. Hopefully we'll be able to perfect the art. :)
- Motocross Madness 2
- Need For Speed Underground
- Star Wars: Jedi Knight II - Jedi Outcast (Capture the Flag)
- Rise of Nations
- Tony Hawk Pro Skater 3
The Motocross Madness 2 tournament, originally scheduled for 10:00pm, happened at 2:00am - unfortunately after half of the crew had to take off. Obviosuly, we're going to have to do it again during an FNG soon. Results are below.

Closing
We finally closed down the party around 5:00am - a pretty insane bunch we are. Thanks all for coming, I hope that despite all the craziness, you all had a good time. Please, players, send me your comments so I can add them to this recap.
