Title: LAN anyone?
Post by: my_handle on 2007-09-21T14:42:35-05:00 (Friday)
I've got nothing to do tonight and the game devel meeting last night has me itching for some LAN action.  Anyone free/interested?  No real preference on game or location.

I believe the details would probably be:

Starcraft or Warcraft III over Hamachi. (Hamachi is a vpn client... super easy to set up)

*edit*

I should also say that we are always looking for more people to play... so if you have a different game/method you prefer just post here.

Haven't played Doom 3 yet (sorry not enough time for EVERY game) but i'm more than interested.  I might be able to stop by. Where are you guys playing at?
Title: Re: LAN anyone?
Post by: my_handle on 2007-09-28T11:46:21-05:00 (Friday)
We can meet somewhere or we can play using hamachi(free windows/linux vlan program) or a combination of both.  
Title: Re: LAN anyone?

Title: Re: LAN anyone?
Post by: my_handle on 2007-09-28T13:24:48-05:00 (Friday)
its easy to install(I have only done it in windows so far) and  works pretty good.  Kit and I were having a problem connecting the other day but other than that it has always worked fine.

Title: Re: LAN anyone?

Fine.

Are you guys going to run it on a server or local?
Title: Re: LAN anyone?
Post by: Kit on 2007-09-28T16:18:49-05:00 (Friday)
We will probably be in the lab downstairs.

If not, we'll be around.
Title: Re: LAN anyone?
Post by: Kit on 2007-09-28T16:33:38-05:00 (Friday)
I think the plan is probably to play over hamachi since that is the easiest way to connect everyone. I think that Mark and I will probably go home to play.

Lets decide on a game?

*edit*

My vote is for DotA on Warcraft 3. Mark has it and it's pretty easy to learn (after a couple practice games).

*edit*

Mark and I are headed for home. We'll be checking the forums so let us know.

Post by: bandyguy on 2007-09-28T17:09:35-05:00 (Friday)
I don't have warcraft, buy I now have doom. My vote however is for red alert, but I'm fine for anything, I on hamachi too
