My November LAN party was today with 15 people in attendance and up to 12 playing at one time. By far the largest one yet. The Gnome Cam was directed inside @ 1:30pm to catch the action. We started off with some Quake IV which turned into a comedic bloodbath due to the small maps and high number of players. We then moved on to FarCry for a brief period followed by the classic Quake III CTF walking eyeball frenzy. A short game of StarCraft gave us a break from first person shooter which turned into a trip to the garage for more "stand in my engine bay" photo opportunities. We wrapped up with some serious FarCry CTF involving shouts of compass directions for incoming enemies and blatent camping by everyone except me (Everyone knows I'm not a camper). The sponsorship got us glow stuff, stickers and magazines which made for great mousepads and centercaps. The traditional blown circuit breaker happened early, and prompted a 4-breaker distribution network of power cords that held up well for the remainder of the event. I'm already looking forward to the upcoming Jan LAN where I can finally take out that @##$% sniper.
