Dagobahn Eagle Posted May 12, 2005 Posted May 12, 2005 Holy S[...]t! Which city is that, anyways?! If it's in Houston, I'm going to kick myself for leaving the city before I got to experience this! it's free... The whole LAN party? Or are you reffering to the staff's balls... Er, bawls:o?
El Sitherino Posted May 12, 2005 Posted May 12, 2005 Free bawls?! I don't have to compete to get it free do I?
IG-64 Posted May 12, 2005 Posted May 12, 2005 It;s in Dallas, he's told me about it. Looks fun, I might think about it <_< >_>
RpTheHotrod Posted May 12, 2005 Author Posted May 12, 2005 No no, consessions (food/drink) cost money, of coase. The events themselves are free. (ie showing up, and if you're lucky enough to sign up quick enough to be in the 3000 allowed to bring their own computers, that is also free). Pretty much, everything is free except food and drink. You can also to the developer talk with the doom creators. You also get free hardware randomly (ie they throw it into crowd). You can also get free stuff for doing weird things around the place. It's in the Dallas area, Grapevine, to be exact. The hotel it's at is beautiful!
Prime Posted May 13, 2005 Posted May 13, 2005 I think I'll pass. We all know what LAN parties are really like...
IG-64 Posted May 13, 2005 Posted May 13, 2005 Pfft, I wish they'd play JA, all they play are a bunch of shooting games. :/
lukeiamyourdad Posted May 13, 2005 Posted May 13, 2005 Bah, if I go there it would be to personally kick that Fatal1ty guy's ass. He's annoying...
Tokarev Posted May 13, 2005 Posted May 13, 2005 Originally posted by lukeiamyourdad Bah, if I go there it would be to personally kick that Fatal1ty guy's ass. Not to mention all the commercialization of one person... Come on here.. I'd love to come along though to experience a Lan party..
Acrylic Posted May 13, 2005 Posted May 13, 2005 Originally posted by IG-64 Pfft, I wish they'd play JA, all they play are a bunch of shooting games. :/ Most shooting games (Halflife [CS], UT series) are better for lan parties. Those > JA
acdcfanbill Posted May 13, 2005 Posted May 13, 2005 Originally posted by IG-64 Pfft, I wish they'd play JA, all they play are a bunch of shooting games. :/ :\ JA is a better shooter game than a melee game...
DarkLord60 Posted May 13, 2005 Posted May 13, 2005 Hope the places Central Air works because My room just gest hot with one
jokemaster Posted May 13, 2005 Posted May 13, 2005 Originally posted by RpTheHotrod You also get free hardware randomly (ie they throw it into crowd). Anyone want to bet on the chances that whatever you get'll be broken?
El Sitherino Posted May 13, 2005 Posted May 13, 2005 Originally posted by jokemaster Anyone want to bet on the chances that whatever you get'll be broken? Unless they threw a heatsink. Then you'll be broken.
Dagobahn Eagle Posted May 13, 2005 Posted May 13, 2005 You also get free hardware randomly (ie they throw it into crowd). So I'm sitting there with a bunch of sweaty geeks, with monitors and computers and keyboards getting thrown at me. No thanks:D .
Astrotoy7 Posted May 13, 2005 Posted May 13, 2005 wow, what a geekfest..... as for texas....being of southern european and islamic heritage......umm....I might give it a miss "Here's Your reason to not come to texas....boy" mtfbwya
SkinWalker Posted May 13, 2005 Posted May 13, 2005 That is *so* wrong, Astro.... Texas isn't like that at all. (I'm in the Dallas area, myself). Texans don't hide behind sheets... if they're racist, they'll tell you up front and call you bad names to your face. Also, no self-respecting Texan would stand for that nonsense rebel flag... we have our own in the Sovereign Nation of Texas: I might have to drop into the QuakeCon this year and check it out... do they give away cool freebies? What's the trick to getting them? Do you have to get there early?
RpTheHotrod Posted May 13, 2005 Author Posted May 13, 2005 They have "events" where they talk and give out free stuff. Where in Dallas, SkinWalker?
jokemaster Posted May 13, 2005 Posted May 13, 2005 Originally posted by Astrotoy7 wow, what a geekfest..... as for texas....being of southern european and islamic heritage......umm....I might give it a miss "Here's Your reason to not come to texas....boy" mtfbwya Bull that's in alabama
Astrotoy7 Posted May 14, 2005 Posted May 14, 2005 well we all know about Alabama, jokemaster... Skinwalker, I am perhaps unfiarly biased against Texans. A couple of years back I had a Texan boss. She always used to go on about how every single thing is better in Texas.... she also got really pissed off at me when I put a picture on my desk of Malcolm X during Namaz(Islamic prayer) in Cairo... here eyes went wide, here face went red, and she told me to get rid of it or get out..... you can guess the rest * * * as for LANs, I live next to two universities, so have floated into a few over recent years.... I didnt do any gaming tho mtfbwya
Dagobahn Eagle Posted May 14, 2005 Posted May 14, 2005 I've lived in Houston for three years, and most people there are nice. I don' think I met a single racist during my stay there. Ever. Ignorants, sure (hey, it's humans:p), but racists? No. I saw a pick-up truck with a Confederate flag sticker in the back window, but that was all.
lukeiamyourdad Posted May 14, 2005 Posted May 14, 2005 Yeah but you're norwegian. If you were black, hispanic, asian, arabic, etc... You'll notice it. Anywhere you go, there'll be racist people.
Acrylic Posted May 14, 2005 Posted May 14, 2005 White people would get uber discriminated against....in Zimbabwe. (sp?) I remember reading an article where the president (or dictator or something) was blocking all color and white from the TV, mainly because he hated white people... Weird guy.
jokemaster Posted May 14, 2005 Posted May 14, 2005 Originally posted by Astrotoy7 you can guess the rest You beat her to death with the picture?!

No. I saw a pick-up truck with a Confederate flag sticker in the back window, but that was all. Very True I live in Austin and have seen no problems before, Texas, and all of the US for that matter is pretty non-racists, Most people burned that bridge in the 1970's but there are some bigots that have to hold on... as to the LAN party, thats not my cup of tea, but would be fun to get some free hardware
