Well, I haven't had a party at my house yet... but I don't know if I want to make a LAN party my first. Although I do have a big place...

R
rocksupastarFounder ·

hmm, but would you be able to handle a bunch of yelling rowdy men in ur house? i dunno if you could handle this...

web-toedchloe web-toedchloeOG 2001 ·

I think I can handle the kind of men that play LAN video games. Although you're like 3 feet taller than I am, all the other guys are whimps. Bring it.

R
rocksupastarFounder ·

wow... thats a dis to gamers... haha, im just big and fat... im sure theres some jacked gamers out there...

web-toedchloe web-toedchloeOG 2001 ·

Please - there are very few muscle-bound gamers. And you're not fat, you're just big-boned.

R
rocksupastarFounder ·

i dunno, ive seen a few... lol and yeah... im gettin fat... its KILLING me...

web-toedchloe web-toedchloeOG 2001 ·

Stop it! You're not fat. Compare yourself now to how you looked when you were 15 - you're at a much healthier weight now.

magnum magnumOG 2001 ·

nah he's fat, stop trying to build up his self esteem!

thatdarngirl thatdarngirlOG 2002 ·

Well then he must have a really big bone in his...

Too much South Park

perrin perrinOG 2004 ·

I think I may have to take offense to this. lol

R
rocksupastarFounder ·

i would if i were you....

beachbum beachbumOG 2002 ·

if it's on a saturday, it would have to be later in sept for us since we are going to the JC project. or it would have to be a fri or sun. night. and since the world DOES revolve around me-DO IT!

R
rocksupastarFounder ·

im away in Dallas alot in Sept and middle of Oct... soo... id need to plan around that...

jay79 jay79OG 2001 ·

ok, well since I'm not a nerd...I'm going to go with...no...but thanks for the invite (no offense to all those who like this stuff....except Mike...he can take offense, cause I just really don't like him)

R
rocksupastarFounder ·

um... and WHY arent you a nerd? You have not presented me with any evidence to support this... from where im standing, a good 3 feet taller than you... you ARE a nerd... so take THAT buddy...

jay79 jay79OG 2001 ·

yea, you really got me there...good one

R
rocksupastarFounder ·

why dont you come up with come backs that ARENT from Can't Hardly Wait...

thatdarngirl thatdarngirlOG 2002 ·

Are you guys playing Halo? Or whatever it was you played last time cause that looked fun.

R
rocksupastarFounder ·

yup, we are gonna play Halo probably... some Half Life and probably Unreal 2004.... i think

perrin perrinOG 2004 ·

Playing on PC or X-box?

R
rocksupastarFounder ·

hmm im feeling PC... just cause we have more of a varity... but, xbox is easier to setup. I mean when it comes to Halo... ill mop the floor with any of you regardless of what you play me on...

perrin perrinOG 2004 ·

Yeah whatever mike I've heard that from you I can't even count how many times and it seems like everytime you get housed. lol

R
rocksupastarFounder ·

uh uh... im gettin better... i owned all in the last xbox party... im telling ya... im gettin better... i think everyone can beat me in unreal tho... im horrible at that.

perrin perrinOG 2004 ·

I was thinking more along the lines of mech assault because from what I've heard Janine owns you in that game. lol

g.f.s.rocks g.f.s.rocksOG 2001 ·

You owned all in the last xbox party in halo?? I hope that wasnt the time you played with us, because I dont even think you showed, and if you did, I couldnt tell...

R
rocksupastarFounder ·

haha, not that time, altho, i have to say, we gotta good team going up here.. i think we could stomp you guys pretty badly....

g.f.s.rocks g.f.s.rocksOG 2001 ·

Thats what the previous eight players who came down from NY said, and they went home probably crying. They were whineing about having a 4 on 4 so we did, our worse 4 against their best four, and we beat them. Good times....

R
rocksupastarFounder · g.f.s.rocks

hmm well if thats the case ill just sit on you.

bozo bozoFounder ·

you guys always kick butt.... mike stinks in comparison. hahah

icescream22 icescream22OG 2004 ·

if you play any fighting games i would deff come...(and win, of course) ;)

fivezero fivezeroOG 2003 ·

if somes got a PS2 with Soul Calibur2 and the new Street Fighter 10th Anniversary compilation--that'll be a happenin' clam bake.

superhero superheroOG 2004 ·

why is this on a wednesday night?? that's my evening witnessing time.

R
rocksupastarFounder ·

dude.. didnt you READ!!!... i just made up the date... we need to discuss and DECIDE on a date...

perrin perrinOG 2004 ·

Ok good because my ASL bookstudy is on wed nights.

violetboregaurd violetboregaurdOG 2003 ·

but i am not good at halo at all - will there be any car racing games (shows how much of a chick i am - don't know the names of the games)

mike can my brother come, he's really good at halo?

R
rocksupastarFounder ·

hahaha... well it depends on where we are... i mean, if we are AT my apt... i can see if we can set up some GameCube action and there will some car games.... i cant fit THAT many people in my apt is the only problem.

R
rocksupastarFounder ·

but yeah, ur bro can def come... i KNOW i met him somewhere before... i cant remember where tho.

yay yayOG 2004 ·

Could have it my place, but I think i'm pretty much way too far for just about everyone here

R
rocksupastarFounder ·

You're out in PA, right? how far? lol

yay yayOG 2004 ·

hehe south jersey dude, tuckerton, near LBI

R
rocksupastarFounder ·

oh.. why did i think u were out in PA? you LIED to me last night!!! lol.. hmm thats not THAT far... 2 hours driving at a good clip for me... i mean... we are somewhat outta options... i mean my apt is kinda small and upstairs... i got enough equipment tho... and if we get IWZ to contribute and help out... im sure we could set up a pretty sweet wireless network as well.

yay yayOG 2004 ·

last night? huh hehe i didnt talk to you last night!

im kinda nill on equipment at the moment, i only have a 10mb hub

apartment is sorta big, could rearrange some of the furniture pretty easily

R
rocksupastarFounder ·

aw man, not even a 10/100? lol. Sok... i think between all the nerds on here we could come up with a few hubs... i got a 4 port myself. Yeah... i dont wanna impose that on anyone, i know how much trouble IIII get into if i rearrange the apt TOO much.

yay yayOG 2004 ·

Whats the usual setup? Big long conference table? Otherwise we could just setup on my dining room and living room pretty much the way it is, just put up some cardboard, some covers, good to go

R
rocksupastarFounder ·

haha, ideally yeah, what we did last time was just setup a buncha folding card tables and told people to bring laptops. I had wires running all over the floor and taped to walls, it was great!

specialk specialkOG 2003 ·

Everyone should come to my place....I'll host it AND I'll fed everyone. And you'll have a place to sleep. :)

It's a bit of a drive, though.......

fivezero fivezeroOG 2003 ·

i'll only come if Halo or Unreal is played on Xbox. i'm not really the COMPUTER gaming sort. consoles are for me.

but i'll keep an eye open, and if it turns into an Xbox Halo tourny--i'll join! doesn't look promising tho. i know a lot of people play these games on computers. i may have to make an event of my own of one these days.

R
rocksupastarFounder ·

we actually have had a few xbox gaming sessions.. they are fun, but there is way more games for PC and lan parties... its just easier to do it that way... cmon man, do it up!

fivezero fivezeroOG 2003 ·

my computer is weak and unnetworked. i've got a measly 2GHz Pentium4, 256mb DDR SDRAM, a pretty weak graphics card. I've never REALLY tried to play games on here, but I have a good feeling it wouldn't work out well. I got it at Circuit City for crying out loud!

yay yayOG 2004 ·

"i've got a measly 2GHz Pentium4, 256mb DDR SDRAM"
Im assuming this is sarcastic.

Get a 512MB or another 256MB DDR for like under 100 bucks, get ATI radeon, lets re-os that system with win2k or winXP (not that trashone that comes preloaded) and your good to go my man.

I only got a 1.4GHZ, 512MB, but it rocks. You'd be suprised at how much the ATI Radeon can handle.

yay yayOG 2004 ·

If you need help let me know

fivezero fivezeroOG 2003 ·

I DO need help. Lets do it!

fivezero fivezeroOG 2003 ·

I'd like to add 512mb and some fancy graphics card. how much would those run?

perrin perrinOG 2004 ·

Yeah I'm pretty much the same way.

forrestina forrestinaOG 2002 ·

im not a gamer so im not gonna come take up space

hunkpapap hunkpapapOG 2003 ·

Ok, well my bro has two tvs and plenty of space but no xboxes, but if we do it in the next week or two we might be able to do it there.

malibu malibuOG 2001 ·

sorry. i work on wed. nights. and i don't wanna sit and watch you all play again. so stupid.

R
rocksupastarFounder ·

for the BILLIONTH time... its NOT a real date... i just made it up... and really... what ELSE do you do on a weekend...? hm?

thefunkyfresh thefunkyfreshFounder ·

I'll come, but I prolly won't play. Unless of course there is a MADDEN tourney happening.

superhero superheroOG 2004 ·

yeah, i'm not playing unless it's Amped 2.

R
rocksupastarFounder ·

hmm, heres a thought... why dont you guys go shop at the mall with the rest of the girls... oh.. and maybe you can pick up some food while ur out prancing around... ya know, for all the MEN that are back at the house.

bozo bozoFounder ·

OK, I've been waiting for an oppotunity like this.... I can have it at my house. The whole house is wired with jacks (16) I really want to have Pcs and Xboxs going at the same time. I love both. Come one come all. Either day on the weekend, No fridays... Xbox down stairs, PCs upstairs.

perrin perrinOG 2004 ·

Where do you live?

bozo bozoFounder ·

Stanhope NJ 07874, its close to where Mike lives.

fivezero fivezeroOG 2003 ·

Wow. Brandon, right? THIS sounds amazing. Pick a date!

R
rocksupastarFounder ·

hahaha... i knew bran would come through for me... what dates from the poll can you pull off man? Any weekends other than that maybe?

bozo bozoFounder ·

Well, I'm not sure is people are planning on going on vacation or not but I'm thinking the 5th would be great. sunday night, no work the next day.. no meetings the next morning..

perrin perrinOG 2004 ·

I have my District convetion that weekend so I guess I won't be attending. Maybe next time.

R
rocksupastarFounder ·

lol you are the ONLY one that doesnt have work the next day! lol... i think saturday would work best for me and maybe go to your meeting, lol. Does that work for anyone else?

fivezero fivezeroOG 2003 ·

word!

bozo bozoFounder ·

well I work nights, so I really never work the next day I just work later that same day.

perrin perrinOG 2004 ·

Actually most people do have off it is labor day on that monday.

R
rocksupastarFounder ·

wow... good thinking mike... 2000 RockSupastar eZabel points to you! So yes... we COULD have it sunday!

bozo bozoFounder ·

haha, i thought you realized there was a holiday the next day, thats what I meant by no work the next day oh man...

perrin perrinOG 2004 ·

Yeah I know that, Mikes just a little slow sometimes and needs things pointed out to him, as I'm sure your aware. lol

R
rocksupastarFounder ·

perrin perrinOG 2004 ·

Yeah well you might have gotten that chance but I can't make it the weekend you guys are doing it. :-P

R
rocksupastarFounder ·

perrin perrinOG 2004 · rocksupastar

Yeah I have the district convention and am staying up there.

iwz iwz ·

bozo bozoFounder ·

omegatweeter omegatweeterOG 2003 ·

omegatweeter omegatweeterOG 2003 ·

but i just looked at the date, i got college lol so i dunno, not sure yet

juicymango juicymangoOG 2003 ·

a bunch of guys playing computer games. sounds like fun. If you feel like driving down past LBI, you guys can have it at our place and you can arrange the furniture any way you like..... but only if i'm allowed to go shopping or something, or otherwise just not be home! hahaha

ilikebirds ilikebirdsOG 2002 ·

xbox or pc.. which one..

i have no pc games though.. except UNREAL 2004 and i'd totally own..

halo for xbox .. i used to be good at, but it's been at least a year since i've played.

fivezero fivezeroOG 2003 ·

brush up.

bozo bozoFounder ·

We can have both. and you can play either one you want. you want to play pc- bring one if you want to play xbox -bring one And its going to on sunday b/c there is a holiday the next day.

ilikebirds ilikebirdsOG 2002 ·

fivezero fivezeroOG 2003 ·

Halo!

aviator aviatorOG 2004 stupid ·

fivezero fivezeroOG 2003 ·

maybe if you DID come around and we all talked this years-long crazy streak would finally blow over. it's not like we'd try anything.

don't pants me--cuz i usually go commando!

perrin perrinOG 2004 ·

Now there was way too much information given.

fivezero fivezeroOG 2003 ·

Do you wear underwear all the time?

perrin perrinOG 2004 ·

I really don't think this is a conversation I want to have. lol

fivezero fivezeroOG 2003 ·

Chicken. Do you want to talk about D&D and perhaps how to talk with your fingers?

perrin perrinOG 2004 ·

Why would I want to talk about D&D and I already know how to talk with my fingers. lol

fivezero fivezeroOG 2003 · perrin

Would you like to speak about talking with our fingers with our mouths?

perrin perrinOG 2004 · fivezero

Sure why not.

fivezero fivezeroOG 2003 · perrin

Sure why not what?

perrin perrinOG 2004 · fivezero

Sure why don't we talk about it.

bozo bozoFounder ·

iwz iwz ·

iwz iwz ·

Hey, this better be on Sunday. There's no way I'll be able to stay late if it's on Saturday.

Come on now, the night before Labor Day is such a better night than the night before a meeting. Seriously now. Come on.

fivezero fivezeroOG 2003 ·

I agree completely. Sunday is perfect. It seems a couple have a grad party or something. I say bail.

ilikebirds ilikebirdsOG 2002 ·

YEA SUNDAY NIGHT COME ON.. SUNDAY

hunkpapap hunkpapapOG 2003 ·

dude i'm going to a Halo lan party sunday with way more alcohol than this. We need for this one to be on Saturday..

fivezero fivezeroOG 2003 ·

Pat, you can't have your halo and eat it too.

iwz iwz ·

that's fine man, you'll have a great time at that halo xbox party.

this is more about PC gaming, right guys?

iwz iwz ·

Ok, everybody, Sunday it is!

iwz iwz ·

btw, this is not an official announcement, as i have nothing to do with the planning on this event

bozo bozoFounder ·

Ok, sunday it is.

R
rocksupastarFounder ·

Why is there only 3 people going to this event???? Are all you losers in the maybe catagory not going? Ian? wake up dude... Superhero? Fivezero? Anyone that doesnt click yes will NOT be allowed in the door. I will personally throw you beating, throw you outside and run you over with my honda! DO IT

originalsnob originalsnobOG 2004 ·

I feel as though this hostility is coming from a very angry place (a place where nobody's comin' to the party) AH HA HA HA tosses head back... evil laughter ensues :-X

fivezero fivezeroOG 2003 ·

Don't be fooled--Ezabelers don't like saying they'll be anywhere until the last moment! That may seem like we're fairweather friends, but HEY, WHATEVAH. Most of us decide at the last moment which direction our weekends will take.

Stillll, I'm thinking this parties gonna be hoppin'.

socalgal socalgalOG 2003 ·

eat an m&m and calm down hun

perrin perrinOG 2004 ·

HAHAHAHAHAHA. NICE!

iwz iwz ·

I invited Larry Dedio and Sal Scavuzzo. Larry was into it, but they're going to Malea's grad party, so who knows if he'll show up. Dunno about Sal either.

R
rocksupastarFounder ·

nice!!! anyone else you can think of?

fivezero fivezeroOG 2003 ·

Could I bring a couple guys?

R
rocksupastarFounder ·

you can bring people ONLY if they are HARD core gamers... no lame people that are just looking to do something on a Sunday...

R
rocksupastarFounder ·

and, they NEED to have pc's... we are trying to lean this towards a PC lan party... we CAN have Xboxes there... but playing only one game the entire night will be lame. And regardless, ill beat everyone in Halo on Xbox as it is...

fivezero fivezeroOG 2003 ·

You're nuts. Looks like you're going back to SCHOOL on SUNDAY before all the kiddies.

R
rocksupastarFounder ·

lotta talk ... you better clean your shoes my friend... cause your gonna be stuffing it ALL up ur mouth after im done with you... OHHHHHHHHH

bozo bozoFounder ·

yeah, but not soo hardcore I can't beat them.... make sure they are hardcore but to too hardcore, a pushover/hardcore type would be perfect.

flomojopoanode flomojopoanodeFounder ·

flomojopoanode flomojopoanodeFounder ·

R
rocksupastarFounder ·

most def man... you gonna be there?

iwz iwz ·

R
rocksupastarFounder ·

bozo bozoFounder ·

so there were a bunch of 'xbox playas' coming from dover, but I found out that they are having thier own lan party. I tried to get then all to come here, but its too late. so we will have some, but little support for the xbox. sorry gents

flomojopoanode flomojopoanodeFounder ·

I'm down with the xbox, yo. I know of a couple others who'd be down, too.

fivezero fivezeroOG 2003 ·

I'm down too.

fivezero fivezeroOG 2003 ·

Should I bother coming since I won't be bringing my computer? Be truthful, I can handle it.

hunkpapap hunkpapapOG 2003 ·

call me you can come to the other one...

fivezero fivezeroOG 2003 ·

When and where?

bozo bozoFounder ·

for those of you that are coming... feel free to bring something. I like to tell people to bring what they want to have there, so everyone is coverred. I'm talking snacks, drinks, beer is fine, but lets keep it reasonable (ilikebirds)
thanks

ilikebirds ilikebirdsOG 2002 ·

playa please

hunkpapap hunkpapapOG 2003 ·
