Archived Weblog Entry - 02/02/2002: "LANCon3, baby!"

A weblog written by the Keeper of Tickets, webmaster of the Chronicles of George. Feel the love. Fear the banality.

02/02/2002 Archived Entry: "LANCon3, baby!"
Today is the beginning of LANCon3--the informal name of the third LAN party my friends and I have thrown. Roommate and I have been up since about 9:30 rearranging furniture, stringing cables, and running power strips. Our living room is in full Gaming Configuration, and we are ready for our homies to arrive!
It will be a weekend of Ghost Recon, Medal of Honor, RtCW, Soldier of Fortune, and maybe even a bit of Need for Speed: High Stakes. Plus, Roommate has SEVEN HUNDRED arcade roms for MAME, and my new MSI motherboard has six USB ports. Can you say four player Ninja Turtles action? Oh yeah, baby!
People will be here soon. It's gonna kick ASS.
