XX Finished

XX over now over with. It was a fairly succesfull LAN with only 2 hickups, the first was that we couldn't get the internet going, and the second was that few people had daisy-chained a large number of power-boards and overloaded a circuit, heres a hint for the next LAN guys - > You don't need to bring household appliances, just your PC. Also, charge your phone the night beforehand folks.

We were asked to trial the Pariah Demo at XX, however this wasn't very succesfull as it seems that everyone who downloaded it beforehand played it beforehand and decided it was a pile of crap, myself included. They probably weren't all that happy with the write-up I did about that game but hey, if you want good reviews here's a tip: Make a good game!!

2 tournaments were run, with one person winning the Super Smash Bros. Tournament by default (come on guys all you had to do was enter and you would have had a 50% chance of winning) and I dont know what the results of the UT2k4 tourney were. Also available for the playing was Battlefield 1942, Halflife 2 DM, Camper-Strike source, Jedi Academy, and
some misc Strategy games.

The Gamecube was kindof succesfull, more so in the afternoon and evening. I just cant comprehend how people would rather sit there and watch their download progress bars tick along at a pixel a minute over playing games. STill about 15 people got involved at various times, and we had some high quality Mario Kart, some mindlessly repetitive Star Wars:Clone Wars, and some hyperactive SUper Smash Bros Melee.

We had lots of goodies to give away, and no real good way to distribute them. in the end they all got handed out in what I hope was a reasonable fair manner.

Ive got some photos to put up when i get around to getting my camera out of my car
