The lan party was a success for the most part. We had a few technical issues with the server, but that was about it for problems.

We started just after 6 and went till about 1am.

The game of the evening was classic Unreal Tournament. We ran as a straight deathmatch, then we played CTF, and finally assault.

I got my share of kills in, but there were some brutal people in-game (read: I got my ass kicked on a few levels).

Here are a few images from the fun:

Dave had the sexiest damn computer on the room!

A pic of the room early on… more people came later but I was too busy playing to take pictures.

I’m getting pissed at my son for handing me my ass for a hat.

All in all, good times! It wasn’t a huge party (15 players in house and one remote), but hell… that’s the max the game will handle, so it was perfect! Huge thanks to my good neighbor, Ben, for hosting the party!!! Special thanks to encap as well for providing the 40 port switch!

I do have a few extras items after the party ended that need to be claimed: A black CD case (full of burns) and an extension cord. If these belong to you… fire off an email to me.

I didn’t get to bed until 4:30 am (there was a small post-lan gathering at my house). We had a few beers, made fun of each other, and laughed a lot.
