Hope no ones got any issues with that... I'll just have to shout louder.

Now where did I put those noise cancelling headphones.....

I'll bring my duct tape, it's the cheaper alternative

Guys...

Can you take a visit over to the gameon forums and check that all the servers etc are set up that we'll need?

Also there is a list of free games from Steam that the other guys are gonna try out! CoD5 is one of them!!

Happy LAN eve... and everyone get their poppy for sunday morning please!

(Rasta, can you check that we've got all the ones we need? I'm sure one of us can host the C&C and UT servers we were using last time... but UT2K4 might be better on a proper server??)

the big thing is getting C&C-G's working without the bloody lag. everything else will be fine i think

[dave87]

Can someone bring the COD5 installer?


I've got the key, just won't have time to download it (being on 2mb sucks, and I'm leaving a day early - pitstop in Essex, lol).

I think the lag was my fault and I think I solved it by limiting my network connection. However, I didn't do that until the end of the last LAN, so didn't really have time to test it properly.
I'll have the COD5 installer, but am pretty sure a lot of people will also have it there.

[dave87]

Right, game now have even more of my hard earned:

C&C: RA 3
COD4
Farcry 2


Damn these social thingyamejigs....

[Gerrard]

If you don't like the CoD5 download, then you can forget the free Steam games as well. Synergy is a respectable 300Mb, Zombie Panic a massive 1.6Gb, and DIPRIP is 800Mb. I should have Trackmania install somewhere, but they did copy it to the media server last time.

[dave87]

Its not I don't like the download, its just I've already downloaded it once, but on the XP install.

Needless to say I can play it, but if someone has the installer, I can play it from Vista x64.

[MadduckUK]

ill have it with me don't worry

although why you couldn't use the same installer on both OS's im not sure :/

[dave87]

I deleted it

[MadduckUK]

ok, well as i say. ill have it with me

[dave87]

Cheers matey, much appreciated
