Writeup - KP's LANFest - Monopedal Mayhem
Posted By: (GT)Juggler <alex@halogt.com>Date: 7/17/05 5:19 p.m.

First off I want to thank KP and his family for their gracious hospitality. Your parents are great. I see where you get your sarcasm and pessimistic outlook on life ^_^

I left with Raccoon around 11pm Sat morning with a projector, xbox, and some other supplies. We made it there after around an hr and 20 mins. Raccoon's mom drove us instead of me, for a change. It wasnt because I couldnt drive, it was more a fear of death. My car has no air conditioning and both front windows do not operate. Thats always fun. Anyway, great directions helped from keeping us from going to Jersey accidentally. *looks in Louis Wu's direction*

We were the 1st ones there, and the awkward three-person conversations that ensued will always be remembered. "What happened to your leg, Tom?" "My doctor likes money... that f*cking bastard"

Once people started coming the games started. Some great games went down, such as "Low Ball" on Elongation. Everyone on your team needs to get one minute of ball time... its a very unique concept that made for a fun filled game. There was also some terminal ctf, assault games, relic ctf, rockets, brute shot only games and more shotguns only :) (Btw , Louis hacks on LAN w/ shotguns. 6 shots on him and hes still alive and kickin. (in a no shields game)

We ate some scrumptious burgers, some horribly deformed + slightly "browned" hotdogs. Then it was back to halo.

We ended up playing a few games of halo1, but for reasons unknown, they werent as fun as last lan. Personally I think it was because of the fact that we only had 7 people playing halo1 and those awesome ctf bg games are just not possible. We switched back to h2 soon after , and got some more games in before people started leaving. JYNX decided not to show last minute, and since he was the ride for others (NOF) many people didnt show up. Some other people cancelled just before the lan so the turnout was possibly the lowest HBO lan ive been to. That doesnt mean that it was the worst. (was there a bad HBO lan?? I dont believe there was. Just because I cried myself to sleep at claudes one time doesnt mean it was a bad lan. ^_^

Sorry , didnt bring a camera, no pics.

The remaining (me , tom , rets) played some more Tom and I fell asleep after some Mercenaries, mountain dew, and a hot pocket :-/ In the morning we played some dead babies and halo pc / halo ce conversions in halo1 (single player conversions and such) I realize my pistol is pretty bad after not playing h1 for quite a while. After some cereal, we packed our bags and headed out for the ride home.

Things I learned at this lan :
-Dont give rets a sniper.
-FistAssExtreme is surprisingly addicting.
-People think Raccoon and I work together in FFA , but we killed eachother more than anyone else, every time. Damn screenlooking mother . . .
-The train in terminal makes you lose your voice.
-Wu can get owned by a doughnut.
-KPs pool table doubles as a cupholder
-Dont let someone you dont know drive you around in Relic - The continental slope is 5 feet out.
-Mini-Miguel is really cute.
-Dont think youve gone insane when you see the motion sensor on the bottom RIGHT side of the screen (looking at the projector screen from the back)
-If Claude assassinates you with a needler.... never play halo again.
-The crates in elongation can cause a traffic jam if one gets off the track.
-Furhman is essential to LANs
-Deadbabies lags the xbox like hell when you get over 100 babies on screen at once.
-Shotguns rule
-Shotguns suck

Okay, all joking aside, thanks alot to KP and co. as well as all the regulars who attended. It was nice to see everyone again. Its been fun.

Oh, tom wanted me to tell you that he hates the world.
