20, finally?
Those of you who know me, know I just turned 20 years old. Those of you who don't, well, I just turned 20.
The party I had was a LAN party at my apartment, with the first person arriving 1 pm Friday, and the last leaving 'round 2 am Sunday. We had serious game play from about 6 pm Friday to 6 am Saturday, then again from 12pm Saturday to 1am Sunday. Games we played were:
- Battlefield 2, both 2 v 3, and with bots.
- Rune. Imagine a Viking first person slasher
- Dawn of War, a Warhammer 40,000 RTS.
- Counter-Strike Source
- World of Warcraft. Got a free guild, read on.
- Quake II, I had som weird problems in this game, which led to LOTS of TKs. As in, I'd slide a bunch, and keys would stick on. So, my hyperblaster would fire until out of ammo. And I'd be stuck in one place. Fun times.
- E.V.O. on an emulator.
'Twas much fun. The BF2 was at first straight up 2v3. Then we played it as Sniper Wars. Only kit allowed is the Sniper, and it gets really fun with as many people as bases. (Camp the base, wait for someone to try to cap, head shot). Quite realistic, in my opinion, never know where someone's hiding.
In World of Warcraft, a friend and I started new characters on this one server. Some guy jumped on general chat, and said he wanted to give up his guild. I offered him nothing for it, and he accepted. So, we had a night full of guild raids utilizing the entire guild! (Naturally, I had kicked out everyone who wasn't me or Casey).
Rune, in my opinion, was the best "LAN" game we played all weekend. It was simple, easy to understand, and yielded many shouted curses and death threats, as well as frantic running after throwing the final weapon, hoping to find someone to kill the person chasing you. Fun game, you should check it out.
To see some of the set up, check out this picture. Note me pondering my next move... I'm in the upper left, you can see two close friends in the upper right, and lower right. My system is in front of me, my laptop is facing the camera, next to it. The monitor facing the camera next to the laptop is mine as well. My roommate's system is set up on the bar. Not a bad amount of floor space taken up by 5 systems, two good speaker systems (could literally feel the progressive metal in the floor of the porch outside from mine).
If I missed anything, post it into the comments.
