Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it,
follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given
their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!

poke dya on irc, hes coming from i-90
You suck.
YOU HAVE BEEN REPLACED BY SOMEONE FROM CALIFORNIA
But dammit, I'll be there one way or the other or the other!
916-201-4664
If you are busing you can borrow a monitor if it makes it easier for you.
May need to take you up on that, much obliged!
Indeed! I had a blast!
Thanks again red!
Cost will be $25, drinks will be provided. I will be making Tequila Tacos for everybody on sat evening.
Also I will make sure we have a private BF3 server available to play on. (AKA, BF3 will be a requirement to have. I feel bad when not everyone can play together).
Enjoyed LAN.
Want more LAN.
WinterWonderLAN!!
Hopefully, in the future we can do a sexy LAN called Sexy gLANd.
And if we let a menacing computer AI android (*cough*frellnik*cough*) run it, we can call it Sexy gLANdOS.
WinterWonderLAN!
If you aren't signed up for the LAN please don't stick around for very long, you are welcome to swing by to say hi to people but thats it. Its a Paid event with limited space. You wouldn't sneak into PAX without a Pass would you? Same deal here
Don't get offended if I ask you to leave. This is a PAID EVENT, not a SHOW UP AND HANG OUT PARTY.
WHEN:
December 16th @ 3:30pm - 18th... till whenever I throw your asses out so I can get sleep for work the next day
LAN entry is $25
FOOD ON SAT EVENING AND POP WILL BE PROVIDED. Tequila tacos on Saturday for dinner
I require paypal payment within 1 week of signup or else you are getting bumped.
You are also REQUIRED to own battlefield 3. We will have a private server for this LAN. I am renting one for the month of December. Assuming my local LAN server sponsorship falls through
Reasoning for requirement to own that game:
This is a battle I fought before a long time ago when TF2 came out. Trying to get everyone to buy it. Eventually it caught on. Now here we are with BF3.
The game is fun as hell multi-player. We all had a blast.
Will be at my place, if you don't know where I live PM me for the addy.
Max 28 people (thats all that we can fit here for computers)
Bring computer, monitor, keyboard, mouse, power strip, and cables (Power, video, etc).
LAN is 21+ (If you feel you are an exception, plead your case to me via PM)
Crash space is available (I have 8 sumos, a couch, and lots of floorspace), as are showers. (I suggest bringing a towel, I have many but not enough for everyone). New rule, if you snore loudly enough to disturb others, then sleep in the downstairs. I am sick of people complaining.
Chairs for the LAN are provided. If you are planing on bringing your own chair please ask me first.
I AM LIMING THIS BECAUSE PEOPLE COMPLAIN EVERY LAN THAT ITS TOO COLD WHEN ITS 70F IN THAT DAMN ROOM.
The LAN room heats up thats for sure, but with the cooler weather in fall/winter things shouldn't be too bad. I will have the fans in place on low. If you get cold easily then bring an extra layer. Room will be kept around 65-70f. You are warned in advance so no complaining! It is your responsibility to warm yourself up if you get cold at room temp.
Also if you must smoke please do it out by the road/storage building. If its done near the house, the smell will come in some of the many open windows and I will rage.
ALSO I HAVE A KEGERATOR
Beer that will be on tap is (likely) IRISH DEATH. If it dies before the LAN I will probably be ordering a Bitburger keg or something else german.
Beer will be $2 a pint. Beer is priced so I break even on the keg.
OM NOM BEER:
Previous house party rules apply:
(no getting sick, you want access to liquor stash you donate a bottle to the stash, no being stupid, no showing up sick)
I will have 3 gaming machines available for use... Might have more if I can fix them before the event.
Rules for them are:
1) You don't have a gaming PC but want to attend the LAN
2) If you are traveling from out of state and are unable to bring a gaming rig
3) If you have a crappy PC that can play the games but just barley (if your machine is crappy then I want to see some system specs to judge crappiness)
Rental fee for these is a sixer (or a single awesome bottle) of something delicious. Ask me for what will tickle my fancy if you want to use one of these.

If there are people playing MMOs or other online games by themselves I *will* be blocking the ports to said games. Its just super bad form to be doing that shit at a LAN that's only 28 people. Its ok if everybody is busy with other small games, but its bad form if we are all trying to get a large game going and you are sitting there playing WoW or LoL.
Things like LoL and WoW will be blocked on the router until later at night or during times of smaller games going on, like L4D2, SC2, or Flatout.
LAN Party = LOCAL area network party
This is my first BigRed LAN so I guess I qualify for a n00b seat
have a blast guys!
Wait. Already full?! GHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH-
Waitlist PLOX. *cryyyyyyyyyy*
You were pretty far down on the waitlist last time and you still got in.
Troll those black Friday sales!
Also everyone has a week to send me the LAN $$. I need it this far in advance so I can shop around for stuff, plus I am ultra busy with a few other things right now.
LIES!!!! THERE'S ONLY SO MUCH HOUSEWIVES OF *insert the city name here* YOU CAN WATCH BEFORE YOU SPONTANEOUSLY SPROUT IMPLANTS (location may vary).

Could I get a ride from someone please?
Queen Anne (Near Space Needle) To/From Haethaus
There will be food and drink and also (hopefully) some sick schwag, both as door prizes and for raffles.
This is just a preliminary post, as semantics such as venue or exact date haven't been figured out yet, but I thought it would be best to let people know what's going on!
ALSO: Rumor has it that Origin will be selling BF3 for 30$ on Black Friday.
Buy it for the lan party!!! http://store.origin.com/store/ea/home/
