H3XU5.LAN #6 - 5/6/7 March 2010 - Uttoxeter

[Disturbedguy]

OK bud.
Gives me plenty of time to make sure I have stuff ready!

[jim]

no idea how long I will be in hospital for as I'm in at 11am

See you on Saturday

[MadduckUK]

tick tock tick tock

finishing touches to putting on games now - the descent internet at the venue has made me pretty relaxed about it all though, perhaps a little too relaxed

[dave87]

Are we planning on Bad Company 2 at the lan?

If so, I may have failed massively at preordering it, so is it worth the £34.99 off steam?

[jim]

Isn't it a bit soon? I've got no intention of buying it yet, maybe in a while when prices have dropped though.

BF2 is on the agenda after all

[MadduckUK]

since the first place i checked (gameplay) has it for £25 i would say no way - nothing full price from steam is worth it. ill be in Tesco tomorrow if anyone knows:

A) how much it is in tesco
B) if we are playing it

i can pick up copies

edit: gamestracker says it will be £24.99 at tesco..hmm

[dave87]

Hmm, that may be a possibility then, I'll also see if I can dig out my copies of Battlefield etc. Anyone going to have the updates with them?

[alsenior]

updates will be on the hexus server . there was battlefiled complete edition in game the other day for £5

[MadduckUK]

my 1942 is, i think a fancy pack with all the updates already, and my BF2 is steam so that's no help.

ill go nose around the gameon and see if people are talking about BC2

edit: we need to play UT/UT04 again, don't think we did the last few times!


edit: **** bad company doesnt have a dedi server you can run at a LAN does it? id guess thats a no then

[Disturbedguy]

I need to install a hell of a lot of games tonight! last minute rush.
Also dave, as you are sat next to me, I have a disc with all the BF2 patches on also mate.

[dave87]

Ah, Cheers mate, much appreciated

[Disturbedguy]

Np, the disc is for all, not just dave
I am slightly prepared lol
Dave, time are you getting there?

[dave87]

Err, depends if I'm going Norwich, Essex, Uttox or Norwich Uttox.

So, no eyed dear unfortunately. I'm hoping I'll be there in reasonable time

[finlay666]

Looks like I might still need to swing by Aria to get a new motherboard.... going to try an OS reinstall first though

[Disturbedguy]

Ok finners, like I said it is literally around the corner and Dave, again no problems.
Me and finners will just cruise down I guess, its only about 70 miles from my house if I remember correctly anyway.

[MadduckUK]

its not a race to be last there get driving, 70 is the minimum etc
