Title: LAN Party Idea : Call of Duty 4
Post by: raptor on 2008-10-26T12:24:38-05:00 (Sunday)
Jarod mentioned this to me on facebook so I want to scope interest.  You would have to have your own copy of the game unfortunately.  We may be able to throw in some other game at the same time too.

Thoughts?

PC, we figured we could also have quake going.  It was a lot of fun last time.

I was thinking you could try and load hamachii which is just nice little VPN program to play on a Virtual Private Network and that would almost be the same but then we wouldn't have to lug computers around and you could invite a bunch more people that wouldn't come otherwise.  And maybe we could get someone to host a Teamspeak server or something so that we can all talk to each other.  At least this is what me and my friends end up doing.

I don't think we would need a full blown VPN setup, we could just host at school and put the password on CAOS so anyone could join.

Much simpler.

UPDATE:  We are going to be playing this Friday at 7PM.  I'm trying to get a room we'll see what happens.  Once we have the server up and everything I'll post the IP and password on here.

Can we make these monthly or even once every two months? I don't even have my computer here yet (it needs a new power supply) so I was hoping for an after Christmas event... If everyone's up for it I'm all for doing it every now and again

CONFIRMED: We have the CS lab right next to the Auditorium, I believe the number is 1033.  We are currently looking at playing COD4.  If someone has an N64 w/ 4 controllers and Golden Eye I'm sure I can find a TV.

I don't have COD4, so I probably won't show up for that.  However, I do have a N64, several popular games including Goldeneye, and 4 controllers.  Since it's in my big wooden entertainment center though, I can't get the cords.

So if someone can bring the audio/video cables and AC adapter for an N64, post here, and I'll come after all and bring everything else. =P

So, no server and IP?  We are just supposed to bring our comps to school?  Not sure if I can do all that.
Title: Re: LAN Party Idea : Call of Duty 4
Post by: raptor on 2008-11-06T18:47:46-06:00 (Thursday)
Yeah, bring your own machine in you can use the school's keyboard mouse monitor, and we'll set the server up that night

EB1036 is the CS lab, not EB1033... Where do you meet?
I will not be there, just want to make sure everyone finds it. I sent some CS140 students your way. They will not play this time. I told them you should have food, too. Do you?
Title: Re: LAN Party Idea : Call of Duty 4
Post by: raptor on 2008-11-07T14:14:25-06:00 (Friday)
We didn't have any food plans, though i suppose it may happen, and we are in the CS lab by the auditorium i thought it was 1033 i could be wrong.

We just got SLAMMED so I've changed the server settings, if you would like to play along (i'm not sure if the people who joined are from here or not) sign onto the forum and post.  That will keep strangers off.
