[M] table :)

Do I see candies!
How about a group picture?;)

How is the location?

network sucks bigtime!

no gigabit huh ?

local gigabitlan's ownz :D

There's only 1 name to remember when organising a lanparty:
datanuke.be


:D

Have fun!

have fun all :hello:

a tired man

they are using same network gear as datanuke:p

it was fun, lots of network troubles but they were solved somewhere on saturday noon.
downloaded a lot, played a lot.

I'm now very tired, bt it was worth it.

for me, it's total crap :)

BiCker's back :)

pretty fun games we had, Quake 1, Painkiller, Doom 3 in MP (sux)and best of all: Serious Sam Co-Op very fun!

No they don't

men xcuses, the network was VERY sucky, unable to ping gamers on other tables; let alone share/play games

So I read (on other fora)

Too bad.
Don't really understand why rent-a-lan doesn't send crew with their network... I guess problems would have been solved much faster then.

using only a 100mbit link between network switches is what killed it all I think.. and the fact that there was ALOT of broadcast on the network.

40-60kb/s constantly

Last friends lan we played the co-op for more than 3 hours ... altough my fingers were completely numb the game was getting better and better :super:

Had to stop because of fatigue

on Serious/Nightmare difficulty level and 7-8 players this game is very fun, especially when you start attacking in formations with the minigun, every monster dies in less then 5 seconds :)

They are to tough for that :)
But we created some nice lasershows with the Tie-fighter cannon

The funny thing was, sundaymorning I went to inspect the switches myself and I notices only one of the gigabit upload ports were used. 24 ppl on 1 gigibit upload is to much.
And I think there were some virusses broadcasting all over the place, making to much traffic.

It was mostly fun because ALL players :
- completely forgot time
- died of laugher when suddenly attacked by 100+ monsters

Next private lan we'll be playing SS2 + Rallisport challenge + BF 1942

Hope to get 2 more old fart friends motivated so we are 8 in stead of the usual 6

define "old fart" :)

If you already have some kind of saving plan for your retirement

... or ...

no saving plan whatsoever because your children eat (also literally) your earnings

:D

can young farts join your 8-player bonanzas? :)

If they would agree to push our wheelchairs :D

Do I know the definitions? Plus a few more.;)

When you start paying for something that you don't own;
When you tell someone something you might not want to do/hear;
When you feel quilty going out with your friends;
When you go home right after work;

You ARE an Old Fart.;)

few more pics from the LAN, a group picture was not really "needed" as we were only 4 of [M], all of which have been spotted on camera a lot in the past:)

notice the faulty blue pixel on my Q17 TFT (the one closest to the camera), it appears as blue on everything but white colors. it happened during transport I guess :(


the projector you see in the photo was never used at LANwars, I wonder why they set it up in the first place...

here you see TerAngreal crawling from under his desk Sunday around 9am after having slept 5 hours on the floor :)

(I didn't use a flash, otherwise he would've beaten me up ;))

best thing I found @ the LAN were episodes of "Whose Line Is It Anyway"


awesome show!

100Mbit between switches? I thought they used gigabit between them?

Should be sufficient. In a matter of fact, it's standard on all lans.
But since those switches support trunking, using both ports wouldn't hurt ofcourse :)




"Whose Line Is It Anyway" sucks btw
@last picture: was it always that light at day? Or did they open a gate or something so everybody could run away without crushing each other?
Yellow boy: LW crew? What table is that anyway?

it did not feel like gigabit, even at the end when everybody was nearly gone I only got like 100-200kb/s...

it was light in the morning when they opened up the curtains for material to be brought in + camera set for showing more then can be seen IRL :)

Lanwars T-shirt dude: no idea

ps: Who's line rules !

I always had 10MB upload and 6MB download, but with drops to 0kb/s so I often had to redownload stuff :(

They still airing that on Kanaal 2 ? It's great fun but sometimes I get the impression it's not as spontanious as they would like you to think.

the script and scenes can become repetitive, but some things are just too weird :)

you should be getting here by August next year ;)

Use the current, Luke!

muehaha; local television station made a report out the LAN, I'm in it during the first 3 seconds or so of the flick. I'm the dude sitting next to the flash coloured-lighted case :)

problem was that the core switches were phucked up. And they couldn't manage them.
In the end they were replaced by a regular 10/100 switch.
That solved most problems. If there is a next time, it will be better.
