I have a Game surround Card, and a 4.1 Surround system. It would make watching DVDs a whole lot of fun, if I had a DVD Drive. <p><div align="center"><embed width="250" height="200" src="http://www.theta_mercenaries.homestead.com/files/sphat.swf"></div><p align=center><font color=#ff0000>Why Do I Always Die?!?!?!?!</font></p></p><i></i>

idea for teams...everyone should not only have a little folded paper thing with their name on it on top of their monitor like in that picture of hammer in that other LAN party...but also a thing saying which team they're currently on...might help clear up some confusion? <p></p><i></i>

I think you'll be able to tell who most everyone is.<br><br>Most of the XMEN will have shirts with their names. <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :D --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/happy.gif ALT=":D"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <br><br>Ice, Hammer and Porsche are not hard to miss (I suppose I wasn't either). And Gambit's not hard to miss either. SH is kind of tall and lanky, and bug is short. Destiny.enD looks like he is always on drugs.<br><br>Trust me, you will be able to tell who is who. <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :) --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/smile.gif ALT=":)"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <br><br> <p><br><img src=http://www.xmenclan.org/avatars/ashaman2.jpg width=150 align=left><br><left><a href=http://www.dragontalonmercs.com>Dragon Talon Mercenary</a><br><a href=http://www.xmenclan.org>Member of the XMEN</a><br>Have a Nice Day!<br><br>"Politics, war, martial arts;<br>these are tools to bend the <br>universe to your will."</left><br><br><br><p><i>Edited by: <a href=http://pub3.ezboard.com/uxmengambit.sho ... ge=EN>XMEN Gambit</a> <img src=http://www.xmenclan.org/images/x.gif> at: 7/14/02 8:16:26 pm</i></p></p><i></i>

assuming you can see their heads over your own monitor...depends on the desk/chair setup. i remember SW was complaining when is setup was changed...he said he couldn't shoot worth crap....heh...maybe i won't have to run away so hard afterall <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START ;) --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/wink.gif ALT=";)"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> ..j/k...i know i'll live up to my name. anyway. i think the team labels isn't a bad idea...will we be playing inferno vs. storm or....what? <p></p><i></i>

It's run like a pub game, but on the network. Very open, and a lot of fun. <p><div align="center"><embed width="250" height="200" src="http://www.theta_mercenaries.homestead.com/files/sphat.swf"></div><p align=center><font color=#ff0000>Why Do I Always Die?!?!?!?!</font></p></p><i></i>

There will be name plates again for each persons monitor, I found them to be very helpful in learning who was who. <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :) --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/smile.gif ALT=":)"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <br><br>Nothing like yelling back and forth during a game. <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :lol --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/laugh.gif ALT=":lol"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <p><table border="0"><tr><td><embed align="left" src="http://www.thzclan.com/avatars/ezice.swf" menu="false" quality="high" bgcolor="#000000" width="217" height="166" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/dow ... <td><table border="0" style='Filter: Shadow(Color=#BB1403,Direction=255)'><tr><td><span class='usertitle'>XMEN Iceman [DTM]<br>Founder and Leader of the Base Tribes XMEN Clan<br>Proud member of the Dragon Talon Mercenaries teamplayers Guild<br>Citizen of New Fenecia<br><br>"You weren't much of a challenge" - T2 bot after killing Iceman<br><br>- click on avatar for links - no, not sausage links!</span></td></tr></table></td></tr></table></p><i></i>

I am reminded of Sulu in Star Trek II: "Don't call me Tiny." Don't tell a giant preying mantis that you think he's short, eh?<br>(For what it's worth, I don't remember you being short. I just tend to not label people...)<br><br><br>Hey, Ice, if we are doing the nameplate things again, maybe you want to stick a copy of our avatar next to the name? Just a thought. And this is something else you can/should offload onto someone else. <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :) --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/smile.gif ALT=":)"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <p><img src=http://www.xmenclan.org/xmengambit.gif border=0 align=left>XMEN member<br>Card-carrying DTM<br>OKL Fish-napper<br><br><br>Though a program be but three lines long,<br> someday it will have to be maintained.<br> <i>- The Tao of Programming</i><br>Life is complex; it consists of real and imaginary parts.</p><i></i>

well hi havent had my comp on the net since i moved on July 12th. That and the fact that i havent played T2 since about a month before we moved should make me a nice target in the rabbit games. Eventually i think we are gonna run a network in the house somehow. I wanna get at least a week of practice before the LAN though. <p></p><i></i>
