Oh dear.	Oh crap, he's going to crash that one too!
	Looks like he dropped it on him.
"Your only allowed to bowl TWO times in your turn, Torgo!"	Wow, that last one must have been really embarrassing.

And Now, More Pictures of... John Fixing His Computer
Thursday	Friday	Saturday

May 3rd, 2003

Friday kicked off this netfest early with some non-poisonous food made by Japi. Around midnight, everyone went out for some Monkey Bowling. After some time of explaining to Torgo that he is supposed to throw the ball down the lane and not himself, things got to a fun start. Jo earns the Mad Bowler award for knocking a rogue pin into the lane at least 3 times.

Saturday's games started off with Badmitten. All that exercise sure got everyone hungry early on for the bar-be-cue. Maskingtape brought his magical XBOX with several surprises. A load of emulation software proved that the XBOX has a real use for being after all. Not to mention, the installation of Linux, which further proves its existance is not a bane. Burn Out was a pleasant surprise on the XBOX. What more fun can a group of fraggers more enjoy than causing havok, mayhem and disaster on the open roads while scoring points in objective-driven traffic accidents. Definitly a fun game.

The lan-gaming was interesting. We had some Quake 3 CTF matches which were fun as always. Two new games we tried were Soldier of Fortune 2 and Battlefield 1942. SoF2 was a great deathmatch game, it has a fine balance of realism and gameplay that doesn't distract from one another. The maps were also excellent. Team capture-the-flag, however, sucked, after we discoverd that a cap can be made without your home flag being present at its base. The game has a lot of options which at an up and comming netfest, we hope to exploit and configure for a more even gameplay. Battlefield 1942 was great team fun. Teams were humans vs. bots, which proved quite challenging on the map Battle of the Bulge. Part of it being a new gaming experience, and part being a challening bot assignment, we had fun playing this game for the first time in our LAN setting. The challenge was welcome and exhilirating, and defintily will be played next time.

Thanks to everyone who brought the extra sodas, Mark for cooking and the awesome brownie things that lasted a whole 5 minutes, and everyone else for their contributions that usually go un-noticed.

What is this Net-Fest comming to!?!?

Hey everyone, pr0n's Back!

I said BACK shots damnit!

Somebody's cover her Back!

Not Mark's Meat.

FooooooooooooooooooooD

	Mark cooked us Carbonara on friday. Mmmmm.	The evidence.

	Torgo made a rib run on Saturday. It was well appreciated by all.

	Mark apparently had too much of the bullshit.	So what's worse, the humiliation shot or the fact that he's wearing an Intel shirt?

Someone throw that man a blanky.

Sleeping like a teddy-bear.
Cuddling him might be a bad idea however.

I See Dead People...

I'm Crushing Your Head...

That's Windsinger.

He must work for a Japanese company.

The simple push of a button...

Could take out an entire Allied team.

THIS was all anyone could think to play on the projector...
Talk about overkill.

Well, at least he won.

August 16th, 2003

A few firsts happened at this Net-Fest!

28 working computers were in the house playing games, the most we've ever had!
Nobody had serious down-time fixing their computer.
Waz did not give the middle-finger when getting photographed.
Counterstrike was played.
~~Snowman admits to finding Windows useful.~~

So it was a good overall. We still seem to have issues with keeping the gaming going & organized, but we'll still work on this. It was nice to have the amount of folks for the gaming. We were able to have a complete internal match of Return to Castle Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory in the house!

There were also some great matches of Quake 3 Death Match, as well as Counterstrike.

Jason's house was plastered with the Battlefield 1942 Mocked WWII posters found on the net. Only a select few were printed, but they were equally fitting for Enemy Territory.

On friday, Mark cooked us some home made carbonara by request. It was good! he also supplied the BBQ'ing services for saturday. And saturday night. Torgo bought a huge batch of the famous ribs that everyone well enjoyed. A couple cases of BAWZ Caffeine drink were on hand as well, that stuff rules.

Japi had spent some time programming a Combat game for the NetFest to be played on the projector. It's an 8-player version using 8-joysticks via USB on a PC, using the Atari 2600 combat graphics & sounds. Unfortunatly, that never saw action since the projector area was used for table-space for more lan gamers! Not a complaint at all. Perhaps we'll set up the projector elsewhere for this game next time.

Puzzle Pirates. WTF.

With all the power being consumed by the amount of rigs present, some of the circuits in the house had possible subjectiveness to being blown. Only one circuit was blown during the party. Actually, it was power-strip that we blew. A severly linked-series of power strips in the basement triggered that. However, the possibilty of sabotage for the up-staris gamers was possible. The line powering the tabel of gamers there could be tripped by a single push of a button on the microwave in the kitch. Appropriate measures were taken to prevent this.

As usual, thanks for everyone for showing up. More thanks to those who brought food stuffs, this is very helpful and appreciated! A lot of food gets devoured at these things!

Retribution.

At this Net-Fest, every computer had problems.

October 11th, 2003

A very good lan party for gaming! We had a lot of excellent Death Matches going on, and we didn't tire of it! All sorts of games were played, but the pace was kept up and it was all good.

Unreal Tournament started a lot of the action on Friday. It was a lot of fun going back to this game. It still is a great game. On Saturday, we got everyone going with Unreal Tournament 2003, and it too was great. It took a bit to get the updates installed for everyone, but it was worth it, a lot of time was spent DM'ing in the various newer levels in the game. The Akira weapon rules.

We had a few rounds of Quake 3 Arena CTF using a railgun insta-gib mod from the Orange Smoothie mod. Surprisingly that went over very well and was indeed a lot of fun! There was also a good deal of Insta-Gib DM'ing too, of course.

Grand Theft Auto 3: Vice City with the Multi-Theft mod was a lot of fun, but unfortunately that game decided to be a serious bitch with installation for several people, so not everyone got involved in it. But it was good! What an excellent mod.

Halo for the PC was given a run as well, but unfortunately it's just too damn slow! And I don't mean performance, the game plays slow for an FPS. Compared to other FPS's on the PC, it's like super-slow bullet time. Walking around a DM map in that game is like trying to run in a dream, you don't! And god forbid you fire a rocket at someone. If you can't dodge those you just suck.

The round of Return to Castle Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory we had sucked.

The couch lameness is being fired recently by Burnout 2 for the Xbox. It's still a lot of fun to cause accidents, and get paid for it! An excellent crowd pleaser it is.

Saturn Bomberman finally got a return this netfest and was played on the projector! Woohoo! It was great. pr0nv0znick proved himself to be almost as good a game setup-guru as Waz. A few newbies were in on the action and got quickly involved with the phantom resets. It just proves how cool that "feature" really is. pr0nv0znick was the bomberman winner, with Jessee winning mad bomber.

Mike provided the skills this time to cook the BBQ burgers & hot-dogs since Mark was unable to make it. Good jorb too! We had a good stash of sodas and consumables brought by a lot of the attendees. We even had a good selection of baked cakes, pies & yummy stuff. Doom Prophet brought a case of beer, and Red Bull. Once again, these food contributions are very appreciated! Thanks guys!
