We’re holding another LAN Event in RCH 307 this Saturday, November 12th. Bring your computer and an ethernet cable and play video games with us for a bunch of the day.
We’ll be starting at 11am, and will be going essentially all day. There will be pizza and pop available to purchase, $0.50/pop, $1.50/pizza slice. The pizza should show up around lunch time and dinner time. Unfortunately we don’t take credit card or watcard as payment, so you might want to prepare beforehand and grab some cash.
Game Preparation
If you have the bandwidth to spare, you can come to the LAN event completely prepared by installing games! We’ll be trying to get some free games going, so by downloading and installing them now you save time later.
- Warsow, a Quake 3 Arena-like game
- Urban Terror. It’s some kind of counter strike of duty warfare game and is free, so why not?
- Tribes 2 (via TribesNext). It’s abandonware that has been picked up by the community, we’d like to get this going if we have enough people
- Lix is 8 player Lemmings. Kind of fun I suppose
- There’s also soldat but it looks like it comes packaged with some kind of spyware and we don’t want to inflict that on everyone if we can avoid it.
Any other free games that are multiplayer and don’t get played too often are welcome!
There’s also the “big” free to play games which you should also have installed:
Team Fortress 2
League of Legends
If you can’t spare the bandwidth, we should have a DC++ server setup at the event so you can quickly get copies of these games.
