2/25/05 UCF Gaming LAN Party in ORLANDO, FL

[Mwarhead]

When: Friday February 25th 2005 at 7:00 PM (May show up around 6:30 to setup if you like)

Where: University Of Central Florida

In the Academic Village Hercules Community Center

70 SPOT MAX: This means we are only taking the first 70 people that sign up.

What: This lan will be in both rooms of the Hercules Community Center. We will have capacity for up to 70 at this event. We will also have dedicated servers for UT2k4 and one of the BF series will be up, so please get these games before you come to the LAN.

Jon our Tournament Coordinator has come up with a great idea for the LAN where every plans and has a chance to win prizes. As always, there will be plenty of prizes from our sponsors. Bawls, Newegg, Nvidia, and Alienware have already committed to send some stuff for the event and we are waiting to hear back from a few others. Plus we still have some prizes left from previous events.

Of course we will have Bawls for sale and maybe more. Stay tuned for more info as it becomes available.

As with all of our Academic Village events UCF students with ID can come and game all night for FREE, all non-UCF students will have to pay $10.

Hope to see you all there.

Cool, I live in the Libra Dorms but I don't really feel like dragging all my crap over to Hercules lol. I might attend if I have a chance to win something.

I wonder if my friend at UCF is going... he's a huge nerd... and I mean that in the best way possible.

The academic village is just kinda far to be bringing all my stuff. I just don't think it's worth bringing everything for just one night. I'm suprised they only picked UT2k4 and BF as the two tourny games. They should have put HL2: DM on there. Come on it's fun . A lot of people are playing WoW now, in my programming classes like half the kids are playing it on their laptops during class. Next time hold it in the Libra Community Center that's like 10 feet away from my dorm lol. It's not tha big but you could make it a tiny LAN.

Libra does not have the power to hold a lan of this size or the tables or the chairs.

We are doing Tourneys in UT2004, BF1942, and Savage.

Source will probably be played as well, but we moved away from doing Tourneys with Valve games for a while as they have so many problems.

You can't host a lan game with housing's internet connection as it block the ports neceassary for Steam Authentication for the server. So the only choice is Offline mode and then so many people don't have the full cache, or dont have the updates. Even if you have everything done properly theres still bugs in offline mode that can cause it to not work properly. Everyone is just getting sick of spending over an hour trying to get it to work at every event and lots of people not being able to play.

So we aren't doing any more tourneys in Valve games for a little while.

Yes there will be prizes. We are going to have prizes for some of the winners of the Tournaments provided by Alienware, Newegg, Nvidia, and Bawls.

We will also be raffeling off lots of cool stuff.

Lots of people from Libra come to our events. Maybe you could come with one of them

The thing is I don't have any of those games lol, unless you're giving out free copies of those of course . It's not really my tower that's the problem, it's my monitor. It's so big that it would be a pain in the ass to drag out of my room, it weighs 60+ pounds. Kinda makes me wish I got a LCD monitor but everyone knows CRT is better . I'll consider signing up for it, it could be somewhat fun.

Speak for yourself. My LCD could own you're CRT's ass.

If you don't want to bring your PC or don't have a good enough computer Gigabits Lan Center will have some really highend systems available for rent. If you're interested get more info here.

 

[Atomi]

The Assembly in Finland is the one LAN. Thousands of people bring their computers to an arena in Helsinki and stay there for 4 days and game and check out compos and stuff. Just thought I'd share this with you

I agree with you. LCD espacialy the latest ones with 12-8ms own any CRT.

I think my computer is plenty good, I can run all recent games on highest graphics with great fps. It's the monitor that's a pain in my ass.

 

[Mwarhead]

I just thought I'd let you all know that the service is available.
They will actually bring them to the event and set them up

 

[Pressure]

What if I don't have any of the games listed? Do I just play whatever then?
