Lan Party

jjohansx21 May 2007, 20:36

Some of us talked briefly about this at Toby's birthday surprise party...

We need a venue, anywhere central.

We need a few games everybody has got or can get a copy off to borrow. Remember not everybody has the latest hardware, so slightly older games like Need 4 Speed U2 should be ok.

Hubs/switches cables multi plugs (I can help with that)

A place to braai when we get tired of playing or take a brake.

A cameraman

etc.

Ummm venue, I know a place but its rather big can seat 1000+ people that we can get... Don't think the auniti would charge me.

TTobyadmin22 May 2007, 07:17

Switches and hubs and even wireless router I can supply. Got a bit of cabling too but not much. I can supply copies of N4SUG2 or other games too.

vveecee22 May 2007, 08:12

i know a couple guys that might be interested!

Dude I want it... I recently blew my electronics on mine... if its the momo one, i'm even prepared to pay you for it...

vveecee22 May 2007, 09:57

damn right you'd "be prepared" to pay for it!!! ๐Ÿ˜‚ ๐Ÿ˜‚

the only thing wrong with it is the mounting. the plastic retainers that the screws mount to has cracked. so you cant tighten it.

i was just going to add a washer to fix it, but then i got rid of my computer and stopped playing games. cant keep up with the technology!!!

you're welcome to it!

VVladeadmin22 May 2007, 09:58

Ok what you want... (Remember I bargain like an Indian)

I can at most supply a spare steering wheel with pedals (no force feedback), and also a PC capable of playing these games - so basically 1 spare rig (altho come to think of it, I might just use this one instead of dismantling my main setup). Also a 19" and 17" monitor, bit I'm not prepared to lug those around!

My initial idea though was that we just go to a computer gaming place like Computer Corporation in Reds mall, where we pay whatever to play for a few hours.

How many people are keen tho? And how many have their own rigs?

vveecee22 May 2007, 10:07

a red indian???

VVladeadmin22 May 2007, 10:16

I got a spare rig with a Geforce 4200 in it, good enough for most games, used it till recently so yeah... NFSUN2 rungs great on it...

We need a venue, anywhere central. - depending on the numbers, I can accomodate up max 10 at home

We need a few games everybody has got or can get a copy off to borrow. Remember not everybody has the latest hardware, so slightly older games like Need 4 Speed U2 should be ok. - N4SU2 is fine, plenty copiies.

Hubs/switches cables multi plugs (I can help with that) - ok every body has some.

A place to braai when we get tired of playing or take a brake. - depending on the numbers - my house?

A cameraman - ? nonbody ?
