I'm going to see if I can make it, its only like 20 minutes from my place.
BTW with the corp backing and all I dunno why we can put 150+ butts in seats and others are struggleing. Must be Kevins machismo drawing us in like a moth to a flame...

machismo=Mojo

I just a Pittco notice that they only have 20% of the people payed for. And they need 70% just to get a figure so they can plan it out. Don't believe that is going to happen.

yup it's looking kind of bleak for them at this point.
-
Actually, the gxl lan isn't looking any better.
102/750 signed up, 40 paid.
-
I think we made a wise decision to opt for a winter LAN over a summertime one. Then again these low numbers could be a reflection of something besides the season.
-
So iI've registered for this intel LAN, should be fun.
-
Be sure to let us know how it goes....and keep an eye out for any good ideas we can
steal borrow from them for our LAN's ;)
-
Will do :)
There's like 335 paid now for it so it should be pretty interesting. They don't have as many tournaments and it appears no consoles setup either. Ill write a review when I get back that could help us plan better.
-
Let us know what kind of COD4 and UT3 tourneys they have!

http://lanfest.intel.com/?page=event&sub=content&view=contests&eventid=1316
COD4 5v5, likely CAL rules
UT3 1v1, dunno if they are doing anything but a straight game.
-
cool, keep an eye on those and let me know how they go! Im kinda surprised ut3 is a 1v1 but hey there might be something were over looking there.
-
well they have a ton of food, the air conditioning is keping things cool, and all those punkers from the gxl are here and setup a console gaming area.
the generator blew 2 hours ago and they have just started to restore power. otherwise pretty successful.
-
1. Take a picture of Turkey!
2. Draw a heart around him in paint.
3. Make it your wallpaper and screensaver.
4. ??????
5. Profit!

Did the gxl peeps set up that flaming video on a projector?

Yes, and thankfully they weren't on generator power so the consoles stayed up the 2-3 hours the tech needed for the generator.
-
So there were some power problems?
-
Power was out for 2-3 hours for all the gamers, the consoles were off of building power but the PC's were all running off a generator that wasnt big enough to meet demand.
-
Just as an FYI I am in charge of the generator (and all power stuff) for NorEaster and it wasn't a matter of the generator not being big enough it was a matter of the fuel filter getting clogged and the generator shutting itself off, stupid I know but thats what happened, this is the 6th time we have run an event off of a generator with 0 issues previously. We built our own distribution system for the event and have actauly never blown a breaker, the powerstrips always go first :P
BTW Thanks for attending hope to see some of you guys next year.

Isn't it always the strange unexpected things that give the largest headaches at LANS? Anyhow, congrats on a great LAN from what it sounds.
-
Oh we have our share of meltdowns that are out of our control. I would love to make it to these large LANs happening right now... But wedding stuff comes first.
