So much fun.
CSS is a no-brainer, Dawn of War will definitely get some love, Battlefield 2 will definitely be a big game, and there's some other good ideas here too. Keep these games coming, we'll be using this forum as a tool to determine Games of the Hour (which won't actually be every hour, but it sounds better than "Games of the Block of Time Loosely Resembling 3 Hours".

I'll make sure we've got a Garry's Mod server up.
And if a demo of Enemy Territory: Quake Wars is available, so much the better.
And how about some Ye Olde Tribes or Tribes II? The games are free, so everybody in attendence can have a copy, and Garage Games is hosting a booth, so that would be a nice nod toward their effort to keep those games alive.
Tribes is a good choice as well as wolfenstein. Anyone bringing a pc should be able to play those. Otherwise leave your Amiga at home.
And yes I admit galactic civ2 and civ4 are....not the best ideas for a lan. I don't care for civ4, and both of them are very slow...mostly I listed them because I have them, though I'd much rather play action during the con.
Keep mentioning other games, it'll be somewhat helpful to have an idea of what to install and patch up before going (main reason why I made this thread), since it'll save a fair amount of time once everyones in the main room.
If we have people here who play it, and would like to see it honored at PAX with a lump of time all to itself, please let these people speak in a manner upon which your humble servants can hear you. Absolutely. The same is true for UT2007. This idea is so genius, so brilliant, I believe it has made the entire Intertron better. The blogs may very well suddenly be more insightful and free of drama. The downloads may very well pipe through with an extra bit (pun only kind of intentional) of zeal. The porn may very well look all the more luscious and full of color. And on the off chance that there's something else on the Intertron, I bet that's better too.
Let there be a Retro-Hour, and in this Retro-Hour, let there be Tribes.
We'll definately see some of the usual suspects: CSS, DODS, BF2, COD2, UT2k4; but I'm hoping we switch it up and get some really fun gems in there too. DeathBall, the Hidden, Dystopia, Carball. And frick'n Tribes/Tribes2. Ugh, I just wet my pants! ;D
Tribes isn't an RTS!
I loved Rise of Nations, but I haven't grabbed the new one yet.
Sadly, Supreme Commander won't be out in time for PAX, so Total Annihilation for teh win as a true RTS. The gloves are coming off! 8)
Oh... and for old skool FPS action QuakeWorld and Return to Castle Wolfenstein. :twisted:

I'll be playing it for sure, get it it's a great game.
me too, once I get back to playing it...COV two week trial is eating all my spare time...
Everyone who signed up for BYOC can expect an email sometime in the next week or so which will contain a wealth of information regarding tournaments, contact information, scheduled games of the hour, random prize give-a-ways, and more.
As long as you've got Garry's Mod on the list, I'm happy.
