Just an update on some of the competitions and happenings next weekend:
- Flatout 2 - please vote over here (forums link) as to what options you'd like - race, derby, maps etc. Flatout 2 was popular last LAN and it's sure to be even more popular this time around.
- Counter-Strike: Source will attract prize money just like last time.
- Warcraft III 1v1 and DOTA will have $150 (first), $50 (second) and $250 (for DOTA) prizes respectively
- All your base are belong to us.
- Worms World Party will actually run and be hours of hilarity.
- Hard Drive Throwing will probably feature a Maxtor 250GB hard drive - I've had eight of these fail on me, at least and I need to vent my frustrations.
- Counter-Strike: Source Gungame will have the guns in REVERSE ORDER (Para first, AWP second etc ending with the grende level and then knife to win). The map will be breakfloor2k5.
- COD4 will probably be a disorganised shambles again but we're aiming for Search & Destroy, 5v5 teams
- War3 Naval Combat may or may not run depending on interest; this will be a buy-in, winner takes all competition.
- Tribes is a good game, shame nobody else really played it. Zardoz really wants some 6v6 action on raindance or or something. Download it for free, I;m sure there are links on Tribin' or something.
We'll have some older games happening over the weekend, such as Super Mario Bros, Battlefield 1942, QuakeWorld, DOOM 2 and many more! (has anybody got an Atari 2600 with a way to get an AV output? We'd love to run a PONG tournament).
Also don't forget our AFK comps which include the Pinata and REAL LIFE PONG....
Yep.
We look forward to seeing you all there! |
