I recently had a LAN party and it went GREAT! We had 11 people at the height and it lasted about 16 hours (About 7 PM to 11 AM). I charged everyone $10 to cover soda and pizza and broke out fairly even. We played a few games, here's my suggestions:
UT2k4 Onslaught mode - Its an awesome FPS game and Onslaught adds a depth to the game that strategy gamers will find appealing.
Rise of Nations - We played this near the end when we had 8, since that's the max for the game, and it is a great game, simple to learn, hard to master.
Counter-Strike - Simply because it *is* so old-school, even if it's not that great of a game.
My LAN party was, assumingly, smaller than yours, but you just need to scale accordingly.
Cry a little more. I don't see you whining about playing a game based on WWII that trivializes their deaths by bringing it to the simplest of bombing runs in a Zero. Oh, that's right, I don't hear you whining about that because you like that game.
Slightly reminescent of the constant Windows bashing here on/.
Why do you think that by offering cheap downloads, people will want to use Real's bloatware? Real used to be the leading edge, along with Microsoft's sleek old version of Media Player. Will Real ever go back to the old days?
Just as nigger is derogatory, whereas nigga or negro isn't (sometimes), USian is derogatory. You are NOT encompassing continents by saying American. I am a citizen of the United States of America. I am an American. Not a 'USian.'
USian is a derogatory term. I'm an American. The fact of the matter is, the United States president is one of the most powerful people in the world. We have an important election coming up here in the states, and right now, I don't give a fuck what you think. From my point of view, you don't matter, you racist.
Yeah, I know it's probably not racist, but I'm pissed off at this blatant attack and don't feel like finding the right word.
Actually. There is a mod for Battlefield 1942 called Interstate 1982 (I believe). Guess what it is? That's right, just driving... mostly. You still have idiots that like to shoot each other, but it's all about the cars and driving.
The only reason a 'digital thing' lasts forever is because it is, by nature, an idea. It is data, it is not any material. The idea of the movie stays forever, the data of the movie does not change, but, of course, the medium it is placed on can easily be destroyed.
Valenti - You are an awesome figurehead to hate. Don't ever get a clue, and fix all the problems in the industry, because then I might have some moral qualms about downloading movies.
What would you say to a mom who wants to make a backup of her kids' DVD movies?
When you go to your department store and you buy 10 Cognac glasses and two weeks later you break two of them, the store doesn't give you two backup copies. Where did this backup copy thing come from? A digital thing lasts forever.
Haha, for a minute there, that sounded like a real interview with a big name in the movie industry. Oh. It was?
Next you're going to try and tell me the RIAA and MPAA is trying to report billions of dollars in losses due to privacy!
Oh...
Profit - yeah, bad joke.
A lot of cell phones don't support MP3. A lot of people don't connect their phones to computer. Those that do may not use USB. They might use IR or Bluetooth. You're missing a lot.
I really only have a response to 2. and 4.
2. Yes, you do. I had a LAN this summer and when the inet went out, no one could startup Steam to join the CS game.
4. Get your facts straight before you spaz out at someone. Aren't you supposed to be representing OwP as a member?
Bowman stole the company right out from David Allen (founder of Artifact Entertainment and Pharaoh Productions) and then had the gall to get Allen fired. Allen came up with the original idea for Horizons, and when he left, the new AE mashed and changed it so much, it was no longer the same game. It has about all the similarities that the book series I, Robot has with the movie.
David Allen has since shut down Pharaoh Productions and left the game development industry in disgust.
Why is this modded Funny and not Insightful? I seriously agree.

There is a HUGE difference here. It's just a silly damn title that's not insulting or inflamatory in any way, unless you're way too uptight to appreciate the books anyways. They deliver all the knowledge necessary in simple steps. I learned to program C++, VB and script PHP from for Dummies books.
Hey, Aardpig, they might even have How To Laugh at Yourself for Dummies, because if you are looking for a manual on a subject that for Dummies covers, then you probably no squat in the subject area, hence making you a Dummy.
Where the FUCK did our liberties and freedoms go? This shit sickens me, I would rather live in Soviet Russia than the modern USA. At least then I wouldn't have freedoms taken away one by one, I just wouldn't have any. It's sad when people see we're being fucked over and no one does anything.

Not all of us started playing CS in version 1.3. I started playing way back when in Beta 7, 3-4 years ago years ago.

And you would dare call Americans lazy when you can't type out 3 extra characters to avoid using a derogatory term?
No, Canadians are Canadians, Mexicans Mexicans, Brazilians Brazilians, et cetera. According to Americans and the CIA factbook, I'm American.
If you don't realize that USian is derogatory, I don't suppose you'd understand why nigger, chink or spic are derogatory either.

He didn't. He assumed and even when he knew AKMA wasn't using wifi, he still told him to leave.
Jack? Is that you posting on Slashdot?

Really. I'm curious, because if somebody is doing this, there's something wrong with the Windows and/or Linux filesystems. What's the matter?
Mmm, except that I don't have a cell phone. I have a cordless home phone that works plenty well enough, thanks.
