After an intense night of Rock Band, complete with lights and smoke machine courtesy Senator Kelley, the November LAN kicked off after 3 hours of setup and configuration. The record setup time was thanks to Call of Duty 5, a 30 minute install that refused to cooperate until we setup a dedicated server. After the setup hurdle, things went fairly well with the addition of FarCry 2 and Zombie Panic to round out the game list. Excelcier took a hit for the team by volunteering his computer to experience the technical difficulties this LAN, and Stavos lost his crown as first to arrive when Marco not only showed up first but left last after helping me gain even more gamerpoints on Xbox with Mirrors Edge. Now that all the setup kinks have been worked out, the Jan LAN should be a snap. Timelapse and webcam are all I got from this LAN thanks to my frantic attempts to get COD5 to work.

Another great LAN party. It's amazing how quickly you get these things set up and how well they work out. Thanks. Duane |
After several hours of installing COD5, Farcry 2, and zombie attack it was refreshing to play new games besides the usual Quake III, far cry, and COD4. The Zombie game was a lot of fun despite 6 people out of 8 playing. Maybe Orange box will go on sale soon for $20.00. Good to see some new faces and some of the old gang, very nice turn out for a Nov Lan. Yes my early bird crown has been taken, I could only stand Brad for so long. However he's a mighty RB drummer.
