tBG 12 - How we loved thee

[tuBBymAN]

Well thats another Big Game been and gone with a few records falling at this one inculding biggest pizza order ever!!!!

To all those who didn't come, whats wrong with u? U missed 54 hrs of quality gaming leeching and eating (quiet Jynx!) I myself enjoyed the whole thing was definately up to the usual standered of gaming with me usually getting whoopped in all games apart from the Battlefield tourney where i actacually came 3rd!!!! and won a nice prize of a zalman cooler!! mmmm cooler!!! I love playing ET and Call of Duty definately firm LAN faveourites there although next time we need to get some serious sam going coz that is always mayhem!! pity about the DC tourney but good old battlefield saved the day.

To the crew, thank you guys for all your hard work over the 3 days and the hours you put in before and after the LAN i know that even as i write this you are probably still clearing up our shite that we left strewn all over the place! I know i keep bashing on about it but i think that u guys do so much work and we don't always say thanks so

THANK YOU!!!

well i think thats all for now i'll post the silly picks of monkey if anyone wants to see them and i'll see you all in the channel or at tBG 13 (unlucky for some?)

Another great event with loads of fun being had. Thanks to all the crew and people who helped them out during their times of need. Great atmosphere throughtout the event, made a few new friends...can i send in the cheque for the BIG GAME 13 yet? ;)

[BirdofPrey]

Yeah great lan, cept that pissing fish thing, now if anyone says the projector games can be anoying, that was 10x more so

are probably still clearing up our shite
Yeah, most of it urs, as before i lest we filled a whole bag withur crap! :)

Monkey rules!

[Spleenus]

Oh yes, that was good, very good. Even if it was my first LAN I thoroughly enjoyed it and shall be visiting again! :D

Maybe DC'll be working by then ;)

Once again, thanks crew!!

Well i have just got back in and have set my PC, current time is 1:08 am and I am trying to think how to describe the event. At the end of the day the only thing that I think captures it is "Record-Breaking". The largest BIG GAME ever(74 PC's), the largest pizza run EVER(48 pizzas, 10 Garlic breads, 5 Wedges and a bottle of coke) and the worlds biggest game of BomberMan(33). We also broke another record which isnt so good, the most power outages ever at a BG. This was due to the enourmous load that the huge amount of people at the event required, even the 63Amp(14.5Kw) three-phaze power couldnt handle it. Anyway well done to everyone who was involved with those records(not the power :P) and lets see if we can do better next time(again not the power).

Also well done to the US guys who again wiped out the compition to claim the the coverted CS tourney top spot.

I would like to put a special word in for our fantasic sponsers MainlyMedia. They put a large amount of time and money into this event and helped to supply some the equipment that made the LAN possible. Please if you are local pop down and see them for a cup of tea and a chat, if your not local then get on the website http://www.mainlymedia.co.uk and get your orders sent to you(dont forget as BIG GAME attendes you get a 10% dicount) So all together "Thank You MainlyMedia".

Well bar the power problems and a few dodgy next work cables(sorry to the people who got those) the event ran fairly smooth and so far the feed back is good. As most of you know this was my first event as crew and the feedback we get is really important. Please let us know if you have anything you would like to be included or removed and any ideas.

Anyway this post is already far too long. Thanks again to MainlyMedia and Projector Games. Also a big hand for the PlanB guys who not only provided brilliant gaming rigs but also suppied some very useful servers. I look forward to seeing you all again at Easter.

mmm cup of tea and a discounted psu, bargin!

[tuBBymAN]

thier good psu's too my 550w is the daddy!!

[Wedgeh]

5 Wedges and a bottle of coke

Now if only I'd had 5 Wedges and a bottle of coke, my clone army would have won the CS for sure xD

[welshbloke]

Think we have found the culprit for the power outages...

[tuBBymAN]

well at least it wasn't me for a change lol

[Tau]

It appears that someone spilt beer in one of the power bars... so maybe that caused the power outage

[tuBBymAN]

eek not good i did see a number of cans of carling and stella hope there wasn't any permanent damage

[BirdofPrey]

Damn uncivilised beer drinkers!

[Windibob]

Damn uncivilised beer drinkers!
[COLOR=Blue]i hope you wasn't reffering to me!

[BirdofPrey]

naah, but i will mock the colour code :)

/MOCK!

[SHimmer45]

damn waste of good beer and what a bad way to waste it

[Windibob]

damn waste of good beer and what a bad way to waste it
yer, my bad on the colour thing, i just spilt milk all over my tiny keyboard so now some of the keys arent working.

[addz]

AH HA! so it could have been you!

/joke

[Windibob]

well, now that i gotta buy a new keyboard, i was thinking about getting that new coolermaster aluminium one. has anybody seen/used these before. if so, could you let me knoy what they're like.

Expensive and not nice to use

[Windibob]

any suggestions, has to inkeep with my colour scheme (lian li pc 70)

[SlyDave]

they also get cold to the touch, and when your wrist is resting on it, it becomes very irritating.

If you want a silver looking Keyboard, buy a silver one, not a aluminium one :)

[addz]

spray it and then paint all the keys back on ;)

[Windibob]

cheers shadow, and i'll let u kno when were ready for the 3 vs. 3 0 hr match

[Drazhar]

Strangely enough spray painting does actually work...just gotta do it right.

[addz]

yeah i know, ive done it ;)

just takes a while painting the keys back on.

You could always buy a cheap black keyboard take the keys off (they just pop off), spray it, then put all the keys back on. Black on silver looks cool

[Windibob]

i might just try that how long did it take u rougly?

[Rath]

definately the best big game i've been to, tourny was much better than last time, music/projector games was never too loud and winning the cs for the 3rd big game runnin was cool :)

cu @ tBG13

[tuBBymAN]

buy a pc line one for ?12.99 and they are silver with black keys don't look too bad, but that tiny keyboard of yours was silly anyway! :P

I'm always ready for a generals / zero hour match!! bring it on

[Drazhar]

I'm using this tranged "CM Gear" ...it's silver rounf the endges with black keys...not actually mine...but i might nab it from the bro cos it's actually pretty cool.

[Tau]

Use vinyl dye, rather than spray paint

[Windibob]

nice 1 tubbyman, cheap is always good. however, kappy bought one of those keyboards andall of the ps2 pins were bent when he got it

[tuBBymAN]

thats the beauty of a reciept you can take things back

[BirdofPrey]

And even if u dont ave 1 u are supposed 2 get a replacment!

[Windibob]

a miracle! my tiny keyboard works again:D i still may spray it tho

[Drazhar]

lol...get a bigger desk!

[BirdofPrey]

man that keyboard was wrong, a laptop 1 is bigger, i just selotape mine 2 the edge of the desk!

[tuBBymAN]

in true big game tradition it should be gaffer tape :P

[SlyDave]

Na, Gaffer tape is the back up stuff, It should have been Hazard Tape or Police Line Do Not Cross Tape :D
