GC Lan Party Day 2 Report

Written by andy on Saturday, July 31st, 2004 in GamersCircle, Gaming.

We have lots of superheroes running amok at the LAN. Pretty much the entire LAN was wrapped in playing COH. There was a minor little network issue with Rob’s machine, but after swapping a cable (which worked fine in the last LAN) he was back in the picture. Towards the in end of the night after eveyone started to drop off. An attempt to play some broodwar with Toneman, Rich and myself, but we got owned and after that it was just nightmare.

Here is the group taking a little break and doing a little dance session at the local rave:

GC Lan Party Day 1 Report

Written by andy on Saturday, July 31st, 2004 in GamersCircle, Gaming.

People started to show up around 1pm, the typical stress test was playing a couple of games of Broodwar and of course using the map that no ones likes, “The Big One” or versions of it. More people started to show up around 4pm and from that point on, they just started to pour in until we ran out of space and chairs. The ’secret’ contest winners were Rich and Anthony and the rules were simple. The 1st two to get hooked up and to be able to surf the Internet would get a Logitech Freedom Force cordless joystick. (rumor has it that Anthony sabotaged his fathers machine by not hooking up the correct Ethernet card, I can neither confirm or deny this.) After some classic broodwar it was on to City of Heroes where we all rolled up our Super Heroes and started cleaning up the town of Paragon City. I am playing a controller, Marty is a scrapper, Rich is the healer, Mike is a blast, Rob is da’ tank, Anthony is another blaster, Ross is a blaster and Ryan is a scrapper too.

From Firefox to Mozilla becuase I was getting odd errors when using Feeddemon. After switching, erros gone and the news keeps getting posted.

I download Ground Control 2, it was ok, but I have more fun with Broodwar or Rise of Nations. I recently picked up Batman Animated Series 1 on DVD.

MX700 Paint Job

Written by andy on Sunday, July 4th, 2004 in Hardware.

Here is my very first attempt at:

  • Tearing a MX 700 apart
  • Using Body Filler
  • Wet Sanding
  • Putting it all back together
  • …and it working again

I will be doing a couple more, most likely I will get better as I go along.

It even happens to a Super Hero….

And I am not posting it. I want to see what kind of spam I start to get first. Then I will start sending it out. :)
