We want your HALO 3 screenshots here. Add yours.
The Hushed Casket was founded in 2002 shortly after the launch of the XBOX console. Today the Hushed Casket is a thriving community of gamers, playing together and publishing news and stories that have appeared in major media properties like Newsweek, G4TV, USA Today, and Penny Arcade. Some game developers have even referenced our guides and news to support their gamers. We don't play Halo. We LAN Halo.

General Info
Who: THX - Up to 34 people can comfortably fit
What: Halo 1 LAN
When: Saturday, June 7, 2008: Be There At 11AM
Where: Rayne's House outside of Huntsville, Alabama - PM Mintz for directions if you do not have them already.
Why: It's been a while since the last LAN. It's time to fire it up again. Keep your thumbs warm. Bring your controller. Yes, most of this is just copy-pasted from the last JuLAN.
Equipment List
Important Equipment Notes: If you see something is needed and you have it, don't hesitate to sign yourself up for it. Remember, Xbox 1's only. Also remember that the linked Equipment List isn't all-inclusive; check the Confirmed Attendance list to see what else people are bringing. Don't forget a chair. Try to bring your own power strip/networking cables.
Confirmed Attendance (13)
Guest Policy: Guests are allowed as long as they are known by current THXers that Rayne knows and trusts. No druggies, no falling-down drunks (except Rayne, who pays the bills).

Guests are allowed as long as they are known by current THXers that I know and trust, you know who you are. I will take their word for anyone. That being said, no druggies, no falling down drunks (excpet me, I pay the bills).

The last three having no relevance to the post, but beloved members of my electronic family none the less. Scooba passed on, please keep him in your thoughts. Donations to the Scooba memorial fund will be accepted.

Note that I didn't include your monitor on the equipment spreadsheet, if only because it's preferable to have a 32" CRT than a cramped 22" computer monitor. That said, feel free to bring it.

The only CRT I have now is a 20" mini and my 30" CRT HDTV which is staying at home because it weighs over 200 lbs. I gave the 27" to charity because I never used it. I can bring up to two 22" monitors, but I have nary an X2 VGA adapter. Here's what I can bring. I don't know if it will be needed or necessary. Looking for feedback from the Mintzor when equipment is tallied:
(1) 20" CRT TV
(2) 22" LCD monitors
(1) Xbox
(1) copy H1
(3) S Controllers
Goku, do you still have my copy of H3?
Assuming I'll be in town
Assuming I'll be in town during said LAN, I'll be able to make it assuming that a certain someone *cough*mintz*cough* wants to hook a brother up again with a ride. In that case, I can bring a few things.
(1) Xbox
(1) Halo 1
(?) dukes (i think like 5)
(ONE BILLION MILLION GAJILLION) feet of made up cat5
No brownies this time, but I'll try to bring some seasoning or sauce for burgers and whatnot, or chicken or hot dogs etc, you know, that food thing.
DJ
Updated the Equipment
Updated the Equipment Spreadsheet. DJ, I didn't include any of your equipment because of your uncertainty about attending. Midnight, I also didn't include your 22" monitors because of the lack of adapters. When more people sign up, I doubt they'll be necessary anyway.
