"That time again.."

..for me to shout at you all about how great LANs are and why you should all come to i10. Left this a bit later than I intended to, but I think there are still about 400 placed available..

i10 is a massive LAN, biggest in the UK - basically, if a game has a multiplayer mode, there will be someone playing it. The idea is to take your PC to the Newbury Racecourse for 4 days, meet a lot of like-minded gamers, have fun and take lots of embaressing photos of drunk people to bribe them with later..

Entry is £70, which may seem fairly steep, but it does cover all 4 days, and most of the staff are volunteers - the money goes towards equipment for the next event. This is the biggest yet, 1000 gamers, should be excellent. It's also the first UK public showcase of the Xbox - 8 Xboxes running networked multiplayer Halo, each with a 50" plasma display, up to 16 players..

Tournaments of choice are Counter-Strike, Quake 3, Unreal Tournament and RTCW, but there are usually some free ones around the FTP servers and plenty of friendlies running on most other games.

If anyone's interested in this, the dates are March 29 - April 1 (Easter Bank Holiday weekend), you need your pc and some way of getting to the event - all the network kit is supplied. Be good to meet some of you there, and our CS clan is lacking a player - if anyone feels like filling this place, let me know, the only requirement is that you suck as much as the rest of us and don't take it seriously..

Sigh..one last half hearted shove to the top, 2 weeks away now, 600 places confirmed and paid for..

Pop damnit pop...need one man, and more than 3 SR people going would be nice..

RAR!

Oh god, I'm spending too much time in #multiplay ..

Sorry, don't really see it happening, most people are struggling to pay as it is..shame, it's an excellent laugh, see the coverage pages on the multiplay webby to get an idea of the kind of stuff going on..

And pop, or something. I notice a distinct lack of UKD players from the signups list - Goatboy, Grix?

Reaper, i woulkdnt mind coming up to the event but i cant afford the full £70 if each poerson in your clan is willing to chip in i would love to come down for the four days....

Hm, how annoying. I batter you all with "16 player networked Halo on 50" plasma displays"

g'won..

Most of them have been fu ( hang on, UKchatforums, not a TO forum) funning their consoles too long to even want to spend time PC gaming ;)

=P
