20? i cant remember ever spending 20 bucks at a lan the last one i went to i spent $80

Post 8

Same here i spent too much at lans... but then again i should stop going to the pub in between games :)

love the chan ;)

Post 9

When will the dates be confirmed?

Post 10

Very soon.. like monday afternoon....

Post 11

so is it the chan or greek school? personally i thought the chan building rocked mmmm carpet

Post 12

I think we moved ppl into your last lan area a few weeks ago :)

Post 13

Sorry people, the people we have to speak to about the Chan have to discuss it with Minister Burns to see if we can have it again.
We are expecting to hear back from them any time now.

DGA will let everyone know more when we know ourselfs.

Post 14

DGA will not be going ahead next weekend (20-21st Aug) like we were hoping to do.

To cut a long story short DGA are in negotiation with the Minister about the Chan building, we are trying to secure this venue and make it the new home of DGA which is taking a bit of time with letters and discussions going backwards and forwards.

Although we have no dates for the next LAN set we planning one for a late August or very early September one, it all depends on how out proposal to the minister goes.

DGA are very sorry that we don’t have dates worked out yet, but as soon as we know them you guys will be informed.

Post 15

Thats no problem, i wasted all my money this week already unfortunately, but luckily! The lan aint this weekend yay! Anyhow, i understand how hard it is to get a venue booked for a lan, becuz you gotta go through all the rules of like, Yes we'll make sure nothing happends and also have to make sure its not double booked and stuff or this that and the other :p like the whole thing with no drinks on the carpet which didnt exactly get listened to last time :(

Fingers crossed

Regardless of the result
Thanks for your efforts Guys !

Post 20

it's looking good, I spoke to the Ministerial Assistant and some other chap last week. The Minister has all the information he needs, just has to sit down and make a decision now.

We just thought it was too close to wait for a decision this week and then organise the LAN this weekend.. so obviously, we've postponed.

We will hold one as soon as possible, we're all waiting for a LAN too!

Post 21

Yippy! A Cheer for Burk! Always comes through for us! Although, i wanna ask, when are the DGA photos from 36 gonna be put up on DarwinGamers.org?

Post 22

so...... ne latest news... on the 17th was the latest are we still waiting for Mr Burns (pun definently intended)

Post 23

Nothing as of yet mate.
We will let you guys no more when we know.

Post 24

Yeh guys, we need DGA attendees to be quite patient at this point. We may have to wait a bit longer yet.

Post 25

Thats ok - more time to practice Battlefield 2 - and yes I need it !!

Post 26

Can I get a rough idea as to what games will be played at the next DGA? or is it a "whatever happens at the time" situation?

Post 27

the rough timetable so far includes FarCry, lots of BF2, Savage, Medal of Honour, Deathball, SWAT 4 and Worms Armageddon.

subject to change though

Post 28

Yes lets put the same old crap people dont play on the timetable.

Post 29

o_O
I take it someones favourite game wasnt mentioned so far.

Quote from Wortel:

Why don't you suggest a game that you have interest in? Instead of negativity, put forth some constructive suggestions to the Admins. I'm sure they would listen to you.

Post 31

Deathball? Whatever happened to CS:S or HL Deathmatch?

Post 32

Quote from Wortel:
Yes lets put the same old crap people dont play on the timetable.

i thought about that, but in the end decided it would be a bad move - thus the current proposed timetable.

and i'm open to some hl2dm or CS:S instead of deathball. any strong opinions on this? may put up a poll or something in the near future if the issue becomes contentious.

actually. i'll put up a new thread now.

Acctually that was the theme of the next lan.

I didnt know any of those people existed. if there are i feel sorry for them :)

Post 38

Not play BF2....... What! Is there another game that has been made? Oh yes, BF1942. That's old, you'll want to play BF2 now.

Post 39

i like the game alot, just not to that extent

Post 40

While I like BF2...Its not so much the actual game to me...
its not having to rush and install "whatever new game" is on, find the update(s) then the crack(s), download and install them, resolve any issues to get it working, hopefully before everyone starts playing the next game on the Schedule.

Post 41

which is why we tell you what games you can expect to be playing beforehand

So install all your games when you buy them and this wont be a problem. And if you get the cracks before you leave home it will save having to carry around a crapola of CD's. Nothing worse than switching out CD's at a LAN just to play a different game.

just a reminder....

Quote from Guidelines:

V. Piracy

Piracy will not be tolerated in any form on the forums as it leads to the forum and ultimately OverDrive being responsible legally for supporting piracy and illegal distribution of software in the end. Should that happen, Gamers-Underground and its respective servers will cease to exist.

Simply this means we ask people not to discuss how to download the latest mp3's or software through means which do not support the developer of the software through the means the software is intended to be obtained through.

Post 62

is there gonna be an evo this year or was i asleep when it happened?... EVO is FUN!!! HAPPY GAMING WIT NO SLEEP!!!!HAHAHA

Post 63

not sure how old you are, but Porn is definately not available to minors at DGA.

If it is the 'provider' will be cautioned and asked to password protect the 18+ material and only provide that password to 18+ at their request.

This has been the system we have been trying to get going for a few LANs.

And ALL FTP servers must be password protected regardless of what they contain.

Post 67

Quote from IvoMan:

DGA supports 10/100 - which is more than adequate for gaming.

4 of our switches have gigabit uplink to the gigabit backbone. As DGA expands we will purchase more "24 port 10/100 + 2 gigabit" port switches. They are currently D-Link DES1026G Swithces.

Post 94

$3 each. refund / replacement if it doesn't work.. because the heat does effect 1 in 5 of them and they get stretched when you try put them on.
