Here are a few photos from the LAN this past weekend in Chicago. Also, some Old Man Mafia brethren and I went to Shedd Aquarium on Friday. The photos can be found here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/17788060@N00/sets/72157601418754215/

I don't have Forza, GRAW, or R6:V but I am going anyway! Hopefully enough Halo 2 and COD 2 and (???) Catan will be played that I will get my money's worth.

I was on the fence for a long time, but I think the fear of missing out on lots of inside jokes finally propelled me to pull the trigger and buy the ticket. See approximately 101 of you there Friday-Sunday.

Well, I hadn't been there since Stryker's April LAN so I was overdue.  With my parents in town, I thought it would be a good way to start off a day of sightseeing in Indianapolis.  It was a GREAT way to start out the day.  I don't think I'll post any picture of our visit to the Indy Zoo but I thought I WOULD blog about the world's best bacon.  Inspired by a comment earlier from Grim Reaper BTB (aka WarEagleBeene aka WarBeagle).

I remember 1993 like it was only 13 years ago... one of the best games ever written (I say written because the focus of the game is the humor) was Sam and Max Hit the Road. Sam was a gruff, no-nonsense Police Dog in a blue suit and Max was a naked bunny with an attitude. I guess there's a new version out that is available via download from Gametap. I've never used Gametap, but I might be tempted to now.

Some quick impressions from my limited beta play time:

Well, I uh, liked it... the maps are definitely cool, the graphics are already excellent (and likely to get better), the mongoose is a blast, the sentry guns keeping you inside the playing field is a fun touch, everything seems like "Halo"... all good.

The bubble shield is kinda gimmicky. it doesn't seem to be a big part of the game though.

Stryker927 had a great idea last week to resurrect an old PC classic for some online gaming action... Age of Empires II: Age of Kings (the Conquerors expansion). Now, I have never played this game online, but I have spent many, many, many hours playing against computer opponents (well, like 7 years ago that is). I usually play a random map against medium to difficult foes and usually win.
