Ah, that's right I'll forgive you for that, but an Xbox? I think that's the eighth deadly sin <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="wink.gif" />

I've never been able to experience the bliss of a LAN party. I guess I need to find geekier friends.

Cool, looks good! One of my mates had a LAN party a few months ago, pretty good fun actually, except all PC's...

thePurpleGiant · Jul 6, 2002, 07:23 AM

heh, yeah females, ooh ahh. The only chick at the LAN party I went to was the sister of the dude hosting it...I don't suppose she really counts...

dawho9 · Jul 7, 2002, 12:24 AM

We sorta have LAN parties all the time. Eight or so of us get together to play AOE.

And guess what, we ususally have two "chicks" there all the time. They even win sometimes.

Yeah, I think it's pathetic, too; but hey, a nerd's gotta have fun too!

(by the way, I most definitely am a nerd, I just don't do LAN parties)

Severed Hand of Skywalker · Jul 7, 2002, 10:22 PM

I mean do the words "LAN" and "Party" even belong in the same sentence?

I mean its not totally terrible

DEMENTED AND SAD...

Mister T · Jul 7, 2002, 10:28 PM

we never said it was hurting us
we just stated that, Sure we are all Geeks...but a party where we all sit around and be antisocial...thats kind a anti-party and thats a little much.

jchen · Jul 7, 2002, 11:18 PM

Well it's not completely anti-social, it was an all out invitation (the party), so we ended up having quite a few people that never have been to one (like the Compaq you see). Anyway, it was good fun.

Ca$h68 · Jul 8, 2002, 09:31 AM

heh. I actually went to one this weekend up in buttcrack WI. It was my friends PC, my roommates laptop, my harmoni iMac, and my girlfriends sony viao. It was funny as hell, she learned how to play UT and played UT with us for 2 hours. HEheheHE. It was very amusing to see her play.

PS: Lan parties are only cool at night. In the day its dumb, cuz you can do other things.

funkboy · Jul 8, 2002, 11:20 AM

I like the fact that whoever brought "The Paperweight" also appears to have brought GameCube stuff... excellent taste

Also, looking at the desktop picture on the front computer <a href="http://acm.cs.uop.edu/networkgames39/p4060004.jpg" target="_blank">in this picture</a> , I can only imagine why the guy in the background has such a large, perverse smile on his face... <img border="0" alt="[Skeptical]" title="" src="graemlins/bugeye.gif" />

Ca$h68 · Jul 8, 2002, 11:27 AM

hehe. That is funny.
