Oh dear.	Oh crap, he's going to crash that one too!
	Looks like he dropped it on him.
"Your only allowed to bowl TWO times in your turn, Torgo!"	Wow, that last one must have been really embarrassing.

And Now, More Pictures of... John Fixing His Computer
Thursday	Friday	Saturday

May 3rd, 2003

Friday kicked off this netfest early with some non-poisonous food made by Japi. Around midnight, everyone went out for some Monkey Bowling. After some time of explaining to Torgo that he is supposed to throw the ball down the lane and not himself, things got to a fun start. Jo earns the Mad Bowler award for knocking a rogue pin into the lane at least 3 times.

Saturday's games started off with Badmitten. All that exercise sure got everyone hungry early on for the bar-be-cue. Maskingtape brought his magical XBOX with several surprises. A load of emulation software proved that the XBOX has a real use for being after all. Not to mention, the installation of Linux, which further proves its existance is not a bane. Burn Out was a pleasant surprise on the XBOX. What more fun can a group of fraggers more enjoy than causing havok, mayhem and disaster on the open roads while scoring points in objective-driven traffic accidents. Definitly a fun game.

The lan-gaming was interesting. We had some Quake 3 CTF matches which were fun as always. Two new games we tried were Soldier of Fortune 2 and Battlefield 1942. SoF2 was a great deathmatch game, it has a fine balance of realism and gameplay that doesn't distract from one another. The maps were also excellent. Team capture-the-flag, however, sucked, after we discoverd that a cap can be made without your home flag being present at its base. The game has a lot of options which at an up and comming netfest, we hope to exploit and configure for a more even gameplay. Battlefield 1942 was great team fun. Teams were humans vs. bots, which proved quite challenging on the map Battle of the Bulge. Part of it being a new gaming experience, and part being a challening bot assignment, we had fun playing this game for the first time in our LAN setting. The challenge was welcome and exhilirating, and defintily will be played next time.

Thanks to everyone who brought the extra sodas, Mark for cooking and the awesome brownie things that lasted a whole 5 minutes, and everyone else for their contributions that usually go un-noticed.

	Mark cooked us Carbonara on friday. Mmmmm.	The evidence.

	Torgo made a rib run on Saturday. It was well appreciated by all.

	Mark apparently had too much of the bullshit.	So what's worse, the humiliation shot or the fact that he's wearing an Intel shirt?

Someone throw that man a blanky.

Sleeping like a teddy-bear.
Cuddling him might be a bad idea however.

I See Dead People...

I'm Crushing Your Head...

That's Windsinger.

He must work for a Japanese company.

The simple push of a button...

Could take out an entire Allied team.

THIS was all anyone could think to play on the projector...
Talk about overkill.

Well, at least he won.

August 16th, 2003

A few firsts happened at this Net-Fest!

28 working computers were in the house playing games, the most we've ever had!
Nobody had serious down-time fixing their computer.
Waz did not give the middle-finger when getting photographed.
Counterstrike was played.
~~Snowman admits to finding Windows useful.~~

So it was a good overall. We still seem to have issues with keeping the gaming going & organized, but we'll still work on this. It was nice to have the amount of folks for the gaming. We were able to have a complete internal match of Return to Castle Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory in the house!

There were also some great matches of Quake 3 Death Match, as well as Counterstrike.

Jason's house was plastered with the Battlefield 1942 Mocked WWII posters found on the net. Only a select few were printed, but they were equally fitting for Enemy Territory.

On friday, Mark cooked us some home made carbonara by request. It was good! he also supplied the BBQ'ing services for saturday. And saturday night. Torgo bought a huge batch of the famous ribs that everyone well enjoyed. A couple cases of BAWZ Caffeine drink were on hand as well, that stuff rules.

Japi had spent some time programming a Combat game for the NetFest to be played on the projector. It's an 8-player version using 8-joysticks via USB on a PC, using the Atari 2600 combat graphics & sounds. Unfortunatly, that never saw action since the projector area was used for table-space for more lan gamers! Not a complaint at all. Perhaps we'll set up the projector elsewhere for this game next time.

Puzzle Pirates. WTF.

With all the power being consumed by the amount of rigs present, some of the circuits in the house had possible subjectiveness to being blown. Only one circuit was blown during the party. Actually, it was power-strip that we blew. A severly linked-series of power strips in the basement triggered that. However, the possibilty of sabotage for the up-staris gamers was possible. The line powering the tabel of gamers there could be tripped by a single push of a button on the microwave in the kitch. Appropriate measures were taken to prevent this.

As usual, thanks for everyone for showing up. More thanks to those who brought food stuffs, this is very helpful and appreciated! A lot of food gets devoured at these things!

Retribution.

At this Net-Fest, every computer had problems.

October 11th, 2003

A very good lan party for gaming! We had a lot of excellent Death Matches going on, and we didn't tire of it! All sorts of games were played, but the pace was kept up and it was all good.

Unreal Tournament started a lot of the action on Friday. It was a lot of fun going back to this game. It still is a great game. On Saturday, we got everyone going with Unreal Tournament 2003, and it too was great. It took a bit to get the updates installed for everyone, but it was worth it, a lot of time was spent DM'ing in the various newer levels in the game. The Akira weapon rules.

We had a few rounds of Quake 3 Arena CTF using a railgun insta-gib mod from the Orange Smoothie mod. Surprisingly that went over very well and was indeed a lot of fun! There was also a good deal of Insta-Gib DM'ing too, of course.

Grand Theft Auto 3: Vice City with the Multi-Theft mod was a lot of fun, but unfortunately that game decided to be a serious bitch with installation for several people, so not everyone got involved in it. But it was good! What an excellent mod.

Halo for the PC was given a run as well, but unfortunately it's just too damn slow! And I don't mean performance, the game plays slow for an FPS. Compared to other FPS's on the PC, it's like super-slow bullet time. Walking around a DM map in that game is like trying to run in a dream, you don't! And god forbid you fire a rocket at someone. If you can't dodge those you just suck.

The round of Return to Castle Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory we had sucked.

The couch lameness is being fired recently by Burnout 2 for the Xbox. It's still a lot of fun to cause accidents, and get paid for it! An excellent crowd pleaser it is.

Saturn Bomberman finally got a return this netfest and was played on the projector! Woohoo! It was great. pr0nv0znick proved himself to be almost as good a game setup-guru as Waz. A few newbies were in on the action and got quickly involved with the phantom resets. It just proves how cool that "feature" really is. pr0nv0znick was the bomberman winner, with Jessee winning mad bomber.

Mike provided the skills this time to cook the BBQ burgers & hot-dogs since Mark was unable to make it. Good jorb too! We had a good stash of sodas and consumables brought by a lot of the attendees. We even had a good selection of baked cakes, pies & yummy stuff. Doom Prophet brought a case of beer, and Red Bull. Once again, these food contributions are very appreciated! Thanks guys!

November 29th, 2003

A total of 28 gamers in the basement! Woo! What a good turnout we had. Having everyone in the basement together is great instead of being split up on two floors. The trash-talking never ends. But everyone liked being together for the gaming like this.

The reason for putting everyone in the basement was to leave the upstairs room open for the Air Hockey table that Jason recently bought. It rules. Everyone likes Air Hockey. Jesse came up with the Air Hockey tournament idea and executed it very well, good jorb! We'll be having more of these in the future. The walls around the air-hockey table may not last long. Torgo managed to turn off the dining-room lights with a skilled puck-shot. Nobody up stairs is safe from stray, flying pucks. Especially when they're Lesh-Seeking pucks. Oh yeah, the whiteboard we used for keeping the scores was provided by Keith. He just so happened to be carrying one around in his car trunk.

I decided to award one of the shirts as the Air Hockey tournament prize, which Svarog / pr0nvoznik won.

Unreal 2 XMP (Extended Multiplayer) is a great game, well worth breaking your keyboard over which Blue Brat managed to do. Coming back to your base after 10 minutes of skulking around to retrieve an artifact only to find a fully-manned Juggernaught parked in your driveway will do that. But the balancing & objectives work out very nice. The vehicles are great, and the jumping-jet packs seemed to agree with everyone.

Call of Duty is a great game. The retrieval missions did not go over well at all, they weren't liked very much. Team Deathmatch, however, was perfect. The sniping boards are great fun. We'll be seeing more of this game at our lan parties.

We actually have a favored RTS game! Rise of Nations seems to have won over the people. The usually tedious RTS management has been automated nicely in this game, which make sit more fun to play for the non-micromanagement folk.

We tried Return to Castle Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory again. It went better than last time, but still wasn't very even.

There were some great Quake 3 matches going on. We explored a bunch of the Orange Smoothy maps that haven't been played at this LAN.

And then of course we had our Bomberman tournament. Torgo 0wn3d, he was ahead for the whole thing and clinched it by round 13 of 16. Japi almost got B-point king, but MDGeist and Torgo both focused on kills instead of overall wins once they knew that Torgo had secured 1st place (i.e., MDGeist was killing himself off immediately so he could mad-bomber everyone). A special thanks to Lime Green Goth for drawing a great Bomberman picture for our prize!

Once again thanks for everyone who brought food and stuff to eat. And eat we did, there was some major bellyaching going on around 7:00AM the next morning. With the return of Mark for this netfest, we had our star chef cooking up the food on the grill.

No explanation needed.

Torgo & Epee Enagement Lunch (it's about god-damn time)

	All of us took the couple for a diner run.

	The usual shenanigans went on.

Monk just falls asleep like that naturaly.

Of course it could be the couch that makes that happen, too.

Okay, maybe not.

Well now, Torgo is sure having a nice dream.
Must be pretty exciting.

Awwwww.....

Yeah that takes skill.

All quiet in the lan dungeon this night.

Yarrrr! Here there be Couch Lameness instead!

December 27th, 2003
This weekend started off a long end-of-year gaming festivile. Several people made Jason's house their home during this time through the New Year.

Some of our biggest news comes from Torgo/Galewind who finally upgraded to an AMD64 system. Oh, he's also engaged. :) Congratiulations to Chris Gregory (Galewind) & Cathy (Epee)! We celebrated with an outing to a diner.

So we pooled our money together and bought Jason a christms present: A Kitchenaide Mixing Bowl. A lot of discussion went to find something for him that wouldn't be a short-term gift (like a hard drive) or something lan-party related. Geist gets the credit for coming up with this gift idea.

This year the Chinese Gift Exchange makes a comback. Very successful and a lot of fun as usual. Some good gifts showed up, and a couple intersting ones. Something about Pirates Popping.

Rise of Nations still has a dethgrip on some people. Quake 3 with the OSP mod still holds our attention in deathmatch & especiialy CTF. Call of Duty is a great game, but it gets trying after too long with Team Dethmatch over and over. The Ship level is a lot of insane fun.

Burnout 2 is probably forever a staple game at our lan. Causing accident was never so addicting! But yeah, great game to play with a group of people.

Air hockey. Mmmm. Definitly one of the coolest things at Japi's house. Besides Japi's house. And his couch. Wait, the couch is lame...

Galewind constructs his new command post, an AMD64 based system. Being a level 0 Engineer, as opposed to Japi's Level 4 Engineering skills, it took Torgo a few tries to get it working.

December 31st, 2003

Holy Crap was this a great lan party! So we brought in New Years with laming, what else would we do? We've only done it for the past 4 years.

So a lot of people showed up. Some set up camp for the 2 weeks at Jason's. In any case, it was great fun. Lots of gaming. Lots of food. Lots of stuff.

Thanks goes to Roxikat for drawing the characiture of Monk you see in the Airheads picture.

We had a gathering in the living room for the countdown for the New Year with sparkling cider stuff to help bring it in. Then we went right into the Air Hockey matches.

There was a well sported Airhockey tournament that was run by Phoenix and Rose. Spooch won and stole a shirt as the prize.

The Nerf Airgun proved itself to be a damn cool gift.

We played a lot of good matches. A decent round of ET was actually had, but lots of Quake 3 CTF, Call of Duty (with snap owning usually 'cept when Blue Brat got a Bren), and unfortunatly, Rise of Nations. :D

Marc once again provided a lot of effort to continually BBQ'ing the food for all of us.

Thanks to everyone who showed up. This was definitly a great party for the New Year. We hope to see you again at the next DDD Games New Year Netfest!
