Author Topic: LAN Fest IX - Better late than Never !!! - 21st - 22nd November !!! (Read 4770 times)

Roadkill · « **on:** October 29, 2009, 10:21:49 am »

The NEW dates are :

Friday November 20th - to - Sunday November 22nd.

The venue is :

"The Hanger" @ Castle Roadkill (PM me for details)

Space for gamers inside "the hanger" is up to about 20 people . . . so we can afford to spread out.

Sleeping space is available in various places - it shouldn't be a problem, really.

I believe the spare room has been called.

A Wii set-up was suggested on the door of the hanger - this is fine by me but will reduce the gaming area slightly . . again, not a problem I don't think.

Due to the date changes can everyone (again) please confirm on this thread here, ta.

Also suggestions for games etc . . are welcome.

Fine by me - means we can sort out housewarming for us on the previous weekend

Games, hmm we could go 'old skool' and have the OPriginal BF1942 instead of BF2

Poss do the Fri night - got to be back in Cambridge Sat nigth as Rich as a gig.

Yes.
I'll probably need to bring my old desk for this... so need a bit of room.

Its also not hugely strong having been dismantled quite a few times

so if it would be wedged between 2 sturdy objects that would be very good, if not necessary.

As for Games, usual lot is fine.

FYI for the future, id really like to play some newer stuff (mainly FlatOut-UC and probably GTA IV Multiplayer)... in approx Feb next year my PC gubbins will be for sale

(Shameless plug)

Will not happen next year.
Plan on getting out of the country a few times at least!

FlatOut-UC

I can play that

Dean not sure what you have at the moment by the £50 graphics card I bought nearly a year ago plays Flatout-UC no problem.

GTA didn't run in any kind of useable way though.

No. The thought had crossed my mind, also . . .

Can't play Flat out - UC - but I don't think it's too far off of it . . .

As discussed yesterday, sounds fine

I've got the friday beforehand off, still ok to arrive early?

Yeah, I'll try to book the friday off too, but it'll depend on when I need to take my Dad into hospital and exactly what day(s) holiday I need to reserve for that.

Worst case senario, I'll just give either you or Ian the keys and you can set up when you want.

I've only got three confirmed's at the moment, here . . . . .

FUBAR · « **Reply #21 on:** November 10, 2009, 01:32:19 pm »

You, Me, Ian+Vicky?

Chris - not sure yet
Titsy - thought he said above he was playing? not sure tho.
Paul
Andrew
Pod
PhilO?
Losty?
CP? (you never know

)

Roadkill · « **Reply #22 on:** November 10, 2009, 04:07:58 pm »

Vicky hasn't confirmed . . . technically.

Titsy - not sure - I'm guessing his machine will easily run BF1942 / desert combat ?

Spoke to Losty at the party on saturday . . . tried my best to sell it to him but I've heard nothing.

Chris needs to find out what he's doing that weekend . . .

Heard nothing from Pod.

Heard nothing from Andrew.

I did also speak to Paul but I think they need to sort out a sprog-sitter.
