ALLRIGHT!

I'll let Cat know too ,even though we've split up we are still friends & she still likes playing UT
Maybe I can get her too post here too!?:Q

(PS thankgod no CS!)

Btw ,only a 100Mbps LAN? ,what about the TerraBytes of MP3s that are gonna be swapped!:Q hehe

Oh yeah ,I don't see any reason I can't make it atm ,only restriction is that I have to pick up my son Sunday morning 11-11.30.
We could game Friday night too?

 

[Confused]

I shall hopefully be able to come also

I can provide a server, and/or my laptop (P4 2GHz, Radeon 7500) could be a server/spare machine (it's not the fastest, but the 7500 is about GF2 GTS levels ) in case it is needed

Yup Friday night when we get back from the night at the pub / bar / wherever we end up going

The mods thought when I said reef in my post that i was referring to reef'er' :Q

 

[EvilWobbles]

You gonna open up that server for use by us guys in the States?

11-12 over there is late afternoon for me!

I'd be up for some UT2003 for sure...

If you did that I can see it going down on ATOT as a peice of History..

Breaking news: "Geek from Anandtech Forums flys from US to england for weekend LAN party"



Sure make your way over, the more the newerer..er..erm..hmm doesnt work as well as merrier merry'er argh i cant spell :disgust:

 

[networkman]

Hmm... just looked at the price of air travel.. :Q

Actually, I should get a Passport anyway, so I'll get started on that. And if I win the Lottery between now and the party, I promise to attend, but it's a pretty safe bet you can be put me on the "Not Attending" list.

 

[Assimilator1]

Pitty ,but yeah it ain't cheap!

Evil wobbles
Well it sounds like theirs gonna be a server opened to the net so I don't see it'll be any difference where people will connect from

 

[DannyBoy]

So do we have a definate from you then Mr Mark?

I have a server in the US i should be able to setup and configure from here but this will be sorted closer to the date

Either way while we play on any public servers we will keep people informed of what servers we are on and have AT tags in our names im sure

Dan

 

[Mitzi]

Wish I could make it, living up North sucks

 

[Assimilator1]

Pitty you can't come Mitzi ,I was hoping I could 'thank you' personally for killing me everytime in WC3:evil:

hehe

Danny
Yeah ,though I'll have to head off Sunday morning.
Where can I sleep?


I wonder if The Corm can join us? ,he's not far off, nr Horsham

 

[TheCorm]

Y'know....I think I may be able to make it!....for Friday at least anyway! But I won't know for sure until just after christmas, am going all over the place over the holidays, Leeds...Enfield....Mars.....etc....

But I am up in Enfield for New Years Eve/Day so it would not be a long drive!

I have never played any of those games though....so will undoubtedly get my arse kicked at everything....but should be fun anyway!

So put me down as a Maybe-Probably!

You live in Stoke? :Q

Damn that place has some serious nightlife goin on!

I was up there this year for the beer festival

I used to work for South West trains btw

It takes almost exactly 3 hours near enough to get from stoke to here.

If you have a railcard, young persons or network etc, then if you book the ticket in advance it shouldnt cost more than £10 - 15.

Add 30% onto the final price if you dont have a railcard

I might even be able to make some calls and get discounts for people.

Problem is getting your pootah down ere

 

[moonshinemadness]

Nah not stoke but thanks for trying Jamie, ill get on the route planner and See whther its worth journying with my PC for.
