Its been awhile since we had one of these and the new DoW is oh so sweet. We should see If we can get one going again.
we could either do a setup at place with our PCs. or try a place like Arena 51.
Anyone Interested?

As someone that's been to arena 51 several times, I figured i'd put in my 2 cents. It's a pretty fun place to play some computer games. I think it's $6 for 1 hour of play. For those that have never been there, u get a free hour when u sign up, and the person that refers u gets a free hour. The website is www.arena51.com if u wanna check it out.

No offense taken. I would definitely like to do a LAN party sometime as well. I'd just need to know in advance so I could go and buy the game cause I've been too lazy to go and get it, or I should say I've been too engrossed with WOW to play any other game.

Matt, you brought it up...GET "ER DONE. I will supply the place with the key..Im sure Boldo will have no problem about it. You may want to talk to him about the electricty in the building and see if it can support 8-10 computers. I wont see him till sunday if he is there. Perhaps where the circuit breakers are in case we do blow it. And gather people.

I talked to Merle and he seemed interested, does anyone have a Router? I have a 4-way hub if we need it, but a router would probably be the best.
What other games would people want to play?
Counter-Strike? AvP2?

My son chad has completed "Dawn of War 1" in a day and 1/2 on his PC. He has just just started the expansion. I'm not sure when he plans on battling online. Out of his 60 playstation 1 & 2 games, only 2 were not completed. He must take after his mother because I can't beat him on video game. NOW IF I COULD GET HIM TO PLAY WARHAMMER 40K LIKE THAT, I'D BE A PROUD PAPPY. CIAO!

The nice thing about the Latest expansion of DOW is that it is a stand alone game. Also, the game has been opened up significantly since you do not require the CD to run it. This was an intentional design on the part of the company to allow the game to run on multiple computers for the purpose of LAN games and so forth.
The only catch is that you are restricted to playing as the Tau or the Necrons. To play the Imperial Guard, you need to enter a valid CD key for the winter assault expansion. For the rest of the races, you need a valid CD key for the original release.

My wireless router only has 4 ethernet ports on it... So it depends on how many people have wireless... Heh... If everyone had wireless... we could just use the Bar's hub like Catachan does.
