BBLan, 13th August in Winchester

[Coldfire]

Next BBLan is on the 13th August at Badger Farm. It can accommadate 24 rather than 12 people comfortably, but will cost an entry fee as we will be having more luxeries than at the other location e.g. bar :D:

"Amazingly, beyond all expectations, we've been at this for a year, so we're planning a larger-than-usual event in a new location. Although we have more space, it's still limited, so if you want to come book now. First 15 to cough up cash money get it for ?5, everyone else has to stump up ?7.50. (Note: some of the 15 cheap seats are gone already, so hurry hurry hurry!)"

Games mainly played atm:

Farcry
Painkiller <-- awesome
Unreal 2k4
Call of Duty
Gaylo
CS <-- i must stress, we all suck at it and only play at most for an hour, so any people who only ever play CS, you will get bored (unless your one of those muppets that gets thrills outta getting high scores on public servers) :o (we didn't actually play it at the lan before last!!) Personally, i think its shit

Occasionally:

Total War
Generals
Armagetron
Battlefield 1942/dc/vietnam

Go to www.bigbeardy.co.uk for the rest of the details

http://langamingsoton.mysite.wanadoo-members.co.uk/ <-- this has sum pictures on it, but i'll take it down once the BigBeardy Webby is finished off, which will be in 5 years time, knowing Biggus.

Once again, i'm game for that :)

Have you got any start and end times?

[tuBBymAN]

wow someone who shares my view of CS woohoo!

[Coldfire]

er.... as this is at a different venue and there are more people i'm not sure. It starts around 5:00pm till whenever people start getting bored / tired, which is usually 12 hours later when people start to drift off.... as there are more people, it may go on for slightly longer

tMG, I don't think Steam even got loaded, in fact one one even said Steam or CS, we did talk about HL2 though, and that was about it :)

CS is for 15 year old fan boys and Wedgeh these days, the mature have moved onto greater games.

12 Hours? Hummm... Depending on distance and my mood that might just be worth it :D

[tuBBymAN]

yeah tMG rocked! hopefully gonna have another at the end of august

[Coldfire]

We don't use steam, just hl + the 1.1.1.0 patch + 1.5 cs

The only problem is you need steam to player Natural Selection, which is a kickass mod! I wanted to try and get it going at the BBlan. Its probably the most played hl mod at starbytes atm, although they are trying to now appeal to the wider hl audience aka CS, which saddens me.

Natural Selection still needs some work to it, as the aliens always seem to win once they can generate into ONOS. With a skilled commander though, the marines can put up a good fight.
