My software company just moved into our new offices in SF.

Anyone interested in a UT/Q2/Q3Arena BAM Beatdown?

I'll supply the servers, space, gaming PCs, t1, chinese food, pizza, and beer.


Any takers? I'd like to set up a date in advance...

I'm located here:

I'm not a q2 fan either, but some folks can't live without it... http://208.9.184.110/NonCGI/smile.gif

cheers!

I'm in...Not familiar with Unreal, but I'm down for a little Quake III!

Unreal tournament is O.K.
but Q3 is the freaking best.

HEY SUBE: make sure u have Quake 3 *Test* version on all the machines!! The real game is tooo freaking slow.
the demo is sooo much better

When is this planned??

Boy, having never played any of these games, I am gonna get smoked.....randy watch out for that apple pie!!! AHHHHHHH

I'd be interested! I don't play UT or Q3...I'm more into team based games such at Starsiege Tribes and Counter Strike for HL...but I don't mind a little bit of DMing =)

We won't be playing the q3aDemo, sorry... We haven't had any problems with Q3a after the point release...also our inhouse game server is already configured. I haven't detected ping/packet or FPS losses from demo to full...have u?!

The Last LAN party we had went pretty smoothly, we played with some of the guys who designed Diablo and had a total blast. We played against another east coast clan for a couple of hours on public servers and then went pure local server mayhem on each other.

I play a lot of CTF, but we can do whatever...DM, CTF etc....

I'm checking what days are open here...I'm out of town 3/17-19 and at Sears Point on the 3/25th-3/26th....after work perhaps?

cheers!

angus

I have the WRC review tapes for 97-99...we can check those out as well.

What is better: weekend or weeknight?

Ok the point release is cool then...
I have a quake 3 cd so it doesnt matter..
burn a copy for everyone and then ill generate a Q3 key http://208.9.184.110/NonCGI/biggrin.gif

I would love to play! You aren't hiring are you? seriously!

josh

I'm soo there.

ShaneW

I'll come by and play some q3 CTF too! Oh, and uhh... if you need a unix admin or network administrator, I'm looking for more money. http://208.9.184.110/NonCGI/wink.gif

Im in, im sure imprezer is as well

I'll be around this Sunday to Wednesday, so how about we make it an after-hours beatdown? It's been awhile for me, but I'll be sure to bring my whoopin stick.

And no, Sev, I haven't bought a game in years! =)

Alright,

I got:

sti
dan
rrsettgast
saw jai
josh
shane
delectron
robert

Lets see...everyone fire off a chinese dish they like and I'll get it delivered (my treat), we can kick off with some food and beers/soda (my treat) and then drop into Q3A for a couple of hours. At some point I'd like to get all of you to feedback on some internet software in development over here.

Depending on how may of us there are, we might be split into different loft spaces, but I'll try and get 10 ready pcs into the engineering area. It won't be a problem. Wherever we set up, we can go for the gusto.

There may be some employees who jump in from their workstations, but everyone here is cool.

I look forward to meeting you guys. Any suggestions, please post them. I'm pretty low key (off track http://208.9.184.110/NonCGI/smile.gif and open for anything that makes it fun.

Parking note: It is easy to get here, and on Sunday, it should be easy to park. I bet there will be an on street spot for a suburban and trailer without a hassle.

I've probably missed something...I'll post with details.

angus

I am coming too.
We haven't decided on a date yet, right?

We can do Sunday 3/12 @5PM...

Does that work?

The earlier I know the better.

tks all!

angus

It looks like I'll be able to get 12 q3 machines in one big room. I count 10 of us so far...

angus

Sunday at 5pm sounds good. Unfortunately, I don't eat chinese food...

we can do pizza as well... http://208.9.184.110/NonCGI/smile.gif

Well, I don't think Alex and I will be back from Tahoe before 5pm on Sunday. Can we push it back...late night? Weekday after work?

I'm pretty open.

Anyone else want to weigh in? Weeknight beatdown over here is possible...

Imprezer and robert will not be able to make it by 5..
but the problem is that I and many others ahve school and work the next morning at 6 ..

hmm

robert is leaving this wesnday and i cant make it anytime mon-wenssday

Robert, how does 7:00 sound?

Good point on the work/school rise and shine.

7pm is cool. I'd like to kick in headphone usage if we play late. Maybe 7-11(12?)

We are getting phone systems installed that access our ether, so we may not bother with Internet play this weekend until the kinks are out, just DM/CTF each other on our local server for bragging rights http://208.9.184.110/NonCGI/smile.gif

7pm? anyone anyone

angus

I would really like to make this. I am willing to leave Tahoe in the afternoon in order to make it.

josh

As long as I get a chance to snowboard in Tahoe, I'm cool. I have no idea how it'll work logistically. I'll let Alex answer for me.

Sunday 5:00pm? what do you guys think
but its ultimately sube's decision

If its this sunday, is there parking for a Suburban with a small trailor. (I will be coming from san rafael from a weekend gig)

Next wednesday, you mean? We should probably do this on a weekend..

Damn, that sounds like a helluva lot of Fun. I'll have to see if I can cut out of my duties at GDC.

Has anyone played the infiltration mod for UT?

see new topic for details.
