    I told the principal me and some friends want to play CounterStrike against each other, and if we could use the schools network.

    When you put this on your r&#233sum&#233, be sure to have an adult proofread it for you.

    m-kay?

    > I find them extremely tedious, and full of 12 year old CS cheaters^H^H^H^H^H^H^Hplayers

    Are you kidding?! This is the *dream* of CS players everywhere. If someone seems to be cheating, you can locate him, yank him away from his computer, and SEE if he has any cheat programs loaded up.

    And if he does... oh the screams. The wonderful, musical screams of cheaters in agony! Screaming, sobbing, crying out for their mothers! But will their mothers come? NO! Only wave after wave of HORRIBLE, SEARING PAIN!!! I can almost hear them now...

    Why no, I don't think I play too much Couterstrike.

    • No take-out is bad take-out.
    • We'll shower with compressed air cans.
    • Sleep? Even god waited till the 7th day to rest!
    • We always spend this much time in front of our computer screen. It's just now we don't have to do it at home/work.

    Delivery boy: "I've got a truck with pizzas here and loads of beer and red bull"
    Organisers: "Alright - who ordered pizza and beer?"

    I would so love to see all 5000 hands suddenly go up...

  7. Lets See... by long_john_stewart_mi · · Score: 4, Funny
    I helped organize a LAN for 40 people and even that was hard - I can only imagine how difficult organizing a tournament with 5000 potential entrants would be. Also, what about the smell!? At our two-day LAN party, 5 people stank noticeably by the end of it, one really bad. Some quick math:
    5000 * (5/40) = 625 stinky people
    5000 * (1/40) = 125 really stinky people
    Well, that settles it... I'm not going. =)

  8. Question for the fire marshall by MulluskO · · Score: 3, Funny

    I don't know what your preferences are, but when we LAN party, we do it in the dark, as much dark as we can accomplish, save the glow of fifteen monitors.

    But with so many people, will it be legal or safe to darken the room?

    Alternatively, is it really safe to have 2500 grumpy sleepless nerds in one place?
