LAN @ Mintz's - Date TBD
Submitted by Mintz on Sun, 06/07/2009 - 12:14pm.
On Saturday, June 27th, I'm hosting a LAN at my new apartment. It's somewhat spacious, at 1300 sq ft, but it'll only fit a 4-box LAN, which means only 13 other people can come (16 players total - me - 2 roommates).
Our neighbors right next door are actually some of my ATO brothers who also enjoy a good Xboxin, so in the future we'll probably combine our spaces for bigger LANs. Anyway, that's just talk right now, so on to the June 27th LAN:
It'll be Halo 1 on original Xboxes only.
What we have:
3 HDTVs
2 Copies of Halo 1 (with the GotY sticker)
3or4 Controllers
Electricity
Indoor Plumbing
What we need:
1 Original Xbox + Controllers (rap's bringing 1, Shyzza's bringing 2)
1 More TV
Networking equipment (switch + cables) (rap's got us covered; bring cables anyway)
Food & Dew
Chairs
Just sign up below and say what you'll bring. I'll email/PM you the directions to my house when you do.
We'll start having people over in the early afternoon (1 or 2ish) and ends whenever you want to go home. Pizza will probably be called. Since it's an apartment complex, they don't deliver at night, but a Dominos is about five mins away, so it's not a problem.
I still remember back in the day when I didn't have a driver's license or a car, and I'd have to get somebody to drive me to our LANs (thanks Rayne, FB, and Dad). Now I'm the guy actually hosting one. I really like how long our community has endured and am glad I've stuck around as long as I have. It's pretty exciting that I can finally do this, and I'm looking forward to having everyone over.
Congrats Mintz on this being your first LAN to host. That's how it all started. Ppl LANning together. Glad you are stepping up and helping the community out by giving us an outlet to game.
I'm in.
TV - I'll wait for some one to bring a 32"er.
XBOX - don't have an orig.
Controller - 1
Network - switch + cables check.
Food @ MTNDew - check
Chairs - check
Kudos on hosting a LAN. I look forward to coming, and I can bring equipment, as always, but I no longer own an original Xbox.
You can bring the special edition one.
I'm know the Falwell's have a few, so hopefully they'll be able to come and bring them.
I should be able to come, and i have 2 Xboxen and a bunch of controllers.
So... anyone else coming? Mikeulus? Foulbretheren? Mancandy? Jonathan?
Got a 4th TV, so we're good on those. Sounds like we'll have 3 boxes, so if anyone has a dusty one laying around somewhere, go ahead and grab it.
Slayer's not coming because he don't like you. However, if a few of his buddies come, then he will try to be there.
Why the hate? Make love, not war, Slayer. Except for the warring in Halo.
Thanks for the invitation, but I'd rather not make love with you... or war in Halo with you.
...sorry.

"Don't blow this, Gene!"
Confirmed: Oc is in, and he's bringing the fourth and final Xbox. Thanks again, Oc-man.
Mintz,
Congrats on hosting your first LAN! I will be coming with Jeff and am looking forward to hanging out. I probably will not be playing because I will have to leave around 6pm. Looking forward to seeing your apartment though :)

THE POWER OF THE X
Xray, you are absolutely invited. It's looking like it'll be a little less than sixteen people.
Oh man, I better start cleaning stuff up...
It's cancelled, I'll have to reschedule it for another time.
So unfortunately, things came up for too many people, so I had to postpone the LAN. Is there a better day, or better timeframe, to host this LAN? Throw out some suggestions.
