Whilst this LAN was very close to the last one (almost exactly a month beforehand) attendance was good. Setup was done exceptionally quickly with, as Wookie stated “four times as many people as we needed”, and was finished at around 10:30. I arrived with url=http://www.frozenplague.net/images/valhalla/august/cameron.jpgShadowCamsy/url and url=http://www.frozenplague.net/images/valhalla/august/devastator-lanning.jpgDevastator/url. I helped Moogie set up the url=http://www.frozenplague.net/images/valhalla/august/cool-poster.jpgposters/url showing the details of the October 6th-7th LAN.
We let the lanners in a few (2) minutes early for a change and I played door bitch for about half an hour handing out the pink wriststraps before substituting my position with url=http://www.frozenplague.net/images/valhalla/august/the-aussie-bogan-sausages.jpgTheAussieBogan/url who substituted his position with url=http://www.frozenplague.net/images/valhalla/august/commander-el.jpgCommanderEl./url Before I could settle down my friend Paul called and wanted me to give him his ticket so he could get in.
url=http://www.frozenplague.net/images/valhalla/august/wookie.jpgWookie/url was his usual “sunshine and lollipops” self, issuing orders (and lollipops, I’m serious), and threatening physical violence upon those who dared to cross him. Then his computer decided to url=http://www.frozenplague.net/images/valhalla/august/wookie-screen.jpgscrew itself over/url and eventually replaced the motherboard which was found to be faulty.
url=http://www.frozenplague.net/images/valhalla/august/sausages.jpgSausages/url were plentiful and free, with many lanners opting to have the non-charcoal sausages provided by TheAussieBogan and his minions. The St. Clair Recreation Centre’s canteen also provided toasted ham & cheese sandwiches, which I suspect also contained epic win. Not bad for $2.50.
url=http://www.frozenplague.net/images/valhalla/august/red-bull-girls.jpgThe Redbull Girls/url also dropped in, doubling Valhalla’s girl population with their presence. They handed out free Red Bull to all lanners.
There were url=http://www.frozenplague.net/images/valhalla/august/prizes-1.jpgmany/urlmany/urlprizes/url. url=http://www.frozenplague.net/images/valhalla/august/sub-1208.jpgAt 12:08pm, SuB-ZeRo (centre)/url was playing Tekken 5, url=http://www.frozenplague.net/images/valhalla/august/sub-2048.jpgand at 8:48pm (posing like a retard, center)/urlSub was still playing the PS3. url=http://www.frozenplague.net/images/valhalla/august/sub-tekken-5.jpgHe won a Thermaltake Fan for the PS3 competition./urlSome noobs played Garry’s Mod, singleplayer./urlKyorisu won a competition, I don’t know which one it was but he won something./url Believe it or not, url=http://www.frozenplague.net/images/valhalla/august/mittens.jpgMittens/url and url=http://www.frozenplague.net/images/valhalla/august/unholee.jpgUnholee/url both won at least one competition each. Also equally shocking was url=http://www.frozenplague.net/images/valhalla/august/seq-won-css-for-the-billionth-time-in-a-row.jpgsequential gaming/url taking out the CS:S competition for the “18th time in a row”. The url=http://www.frozenplague.net/images/valhalla/august/sic-guys-won-ut2k4.jpgSharing is Caring team/url took out the UT2k4 competition.
I started playing QW:ET at 1pm and before I knew it people were asking me when I was going to get pizza, at 7:30. There needs to be a competition for this game once it comes out. Shame about the map repetitiveness. I went and got 25 pizzas for the lanners, during the course of which a girl at the pizza shop had a tantrum because she “couldn’t pre-sauce that many pizzas”. Arrived back with 25 pizzas which all disappeared pretty quickly.
Basketball was played on the bigger courts with a bunch of noobs (seems I didn’t get a picture!), taking that out and winning absolutely nothing.
I ran a Soldat competition in which a whole 9 people played in, and Mittens took it out with a 20-something point lead over Tetsu and Cyanara.
