LANPARTY!!!! Postcard from Japan v2.02

I'm back in the game babay, the game of playing computer games on the LAN with buddies.

One desktop machine (sadly not mine)
Three (or possibly even four lappies)
One 5 port Ethernet Hub
An assortment of multiplayer co-operative, team and every man for himself games.
Four Gamers, three backseat gamers and a hell lot of shouting

The above are the perfect ingredients for a small Lan-Party, and that's what it was last night, though being my first one, the machine was not so well prepared for the gaming. Things will be definitely much better next time though I guess, with me having settled up my lappie for all gaming.

As for yesterday, I was able to hold my own in Age of Empires 2, and Quake 3. And that was without any practice beforehand. This LAN-Party scene is gonna be FUN!!!!!!

I guess it will be a standard Friday night fixture from now on, and maybe Saturday nights too :D

You can't change what runs in your blood. But age teaches you things and among them, sense.

Trust me you'll get bored with it pretty soon - and yet you'll have those moments when you'd rather hide in the game universe than face the drudgery of the real one.
