DGA is back with major sponsor Tech Rentals. We are moving to a new home for lans for the time being and that is Tech Rentals. They have offered us the room they have to hold our Lans.
They will max 40 player lans with Kitchen, Toilets, Internet and all the goodies.
We are hoping to get a good turn out and work with TR to get the best out of the venue that we can.
We have ways of making console and PC gaming a really good viable option with the venue.
MVP PRIZE -- During the lan, all gamers will be asked to vote on a MVP player for the LAN, be it a mate, somebody who has dominated you, shown good team spirit, paid you off whatever. This player will then get the wicked, awsome, sensational prize which is a 400gb IDE HDD 400gb of storage goodness. I am also trying to source an external caddy for it, so that u can use it straight away if you dont have the means to install it. Gotta be in it to win it.
So in saying this it will be first in first best dressed. And due to low numbers those that register and dont show up, or unregister themselves before the event will be on a back up list for future lans .. Meaning if somebody else wants to come and you are registered but are on the "black list" you will miss your seat. So dont sign up unless you are going to come.
This Lan will incorporate TF2 pretty solid I would believe. And considering the success online we are hoping for some good battles to take place.
So without further hesitation keep an eye on darwingamers.org for the rego page and book your place for the new beginning.
exactly ..whilst we will imply some restrictions to the internet access (is a business and all) we will have all the major ports open and the internets shall stream through with all its glory.
Still under needed numbers guys. 25-30 is the minimum to make this happen .. and its been on 16 for around a week now.
So if you know of somebody who doesnt visit here, and they want to come get them to register .. As lack of numbers means no lan.
Should also point out .. We are all set to go, servers are ready configured and set to rock. BBQ and Food is all sourced and ready. Drinks are Good to go .. And all the DGA Equiptment is ready to heat up and stream the goodness.
just wondering if anyone's up for trying a custom map in CS:S during the LAN - it's a map i was building a while back, but then hammer started screwing me over so I gave up. But i figure they've probably fixed those issues now so would be curious to see how playable it is with humans.
All i need to do on it now is fix the decals and add a few more cars in, but there's plenty of cover even without. also adjust some crap that hammer randomised on me. I'd also like comments on whether people think it might be worth converting into a Hidden map :)
oh, and screenshots are out of date, there's a proper skybox now too.
hehe it's a wierd map - it favours long range.. but it favours short range as well.. you can be in combat within 4 seconds of round start, but the spawn points are safe enough for you to take your time buying :)
gah, just tried the map in lunch - it's a lot laggier than i recall.. though that might've been because of Chips' machine. I noticed a few other things out of place too - Hammer removed the windshields from the cars :P
still plays fun tho! and dont take hostages down the CT lift shaft, they cant get out the bottom
Groverider, You have no confirmed your spot for this lan, and as such are sitting at 41 of 40. Due to the new location I cant guarentee you a seat if you show up.
I leave the decision up to yourself of whether you want to come or not, however Im not sure if there will be room for you to set up.
i have two other ppl that wanted to come but the rego is full 40/40 ppl coming any chance that ppl will drop out at the last moment as that seems to happen a lot

Keep an eye on the rego .. only way you will know.
Shame they missed out though .. As of sat morning I will take a print out of the list and those on it are those that will be granted entry.
Given the hopeful success of this lan we will be looking to hold another before xmas.
excellent lan Thanks to: Xaine - for providing the venue Unseen - for organising most of it Neotheo - for being Unseens Bitch Insid - for taking my computers home
It was nice to see some new faces espically Reaper! Reaper - your pretty dam good at CSS - you started playing TF2 yet?
