 The Halloween fragging! I'm not really sure what went 
                        on here with all the pirates and penguins crashing and 
                        vexing everyone's system. But we got in quite a lot of 
                        fragging anyhow. Lots of Unreal Tournament for sure, with 
                        an attempted linkup of a couple of outside gamers, Teufel 
                        and Mad Monk. Unfortunatly the ping rate sucked, so their 
                        piece of action was rather lame. We don't know if this 
                        is from the cable modem directly, the server setup, or 
                        just an excuse for sucking on their part, but we will 
                        be looking into it. we also tried Starcraft over the network 
                        to some degree of success, everntually the network lag 
                        took its toll however.
 Sam Brendel brought his server which ws running Unreal 
                        Tournament and Quake 3 servers. Having the server always 
                        running makes it a lot easier to get the games going. 
                        Later at night there was a round or two of Tribes 2, but 
                        I don't think it was played much.
 
 Shroud brought his Dance Dance Revolution 5th Remix for 
                        the PSX, and with Fat Rat's really cool pads, we had a 
                        lot of rounds of them, though no pictures to show for 
                        it since everyone ran away when someone tried to take 
                        a picture of the players. Lamers!
 
 Windsinger unvieled a project of his at this one too: 
                        an Unreal Tournament port of Fragduke. And it went over 
                        very well, I think we played that one map the rest of 
                        the night. I waited until everyone was playing UT, including 
                        the two remote fraggers before I brought this sucker out. 
                        And it held up well thankfully. Look for it in the Maps 
                        section of our website!
 
 Red-Eye the Pirate and Fat Rat had two midnight marathons 
                        of Super Mario Brothers 3 for the NES, both showing off 
                        their mad paltformer skillz and lameness at the inside 
                        tacticts to the game.

                        a Dreamcast. All hooked up to a shitty, trash-picked, 
                        pirated TV set.
 
 And for the closing, the food for the evening consisted 
                        of Spicy Sausage, and Homemade Meatballs for the main 
                        course. Really kick-ass meatballs actually. Lotsa Pathmark 
                        Blue soda thanks to Keith, Toxic Waste and many other 
                        fattening things. (:
