LAN cafe in town

Their forums are at: http://www.microplaygaming.com/board/

Sounds OK, £3.50 per hour, £20 for an entire weekday. Can you say "holiday LAN"? The machines are well speced, and recent games etc.

There's also a Strathclyde LAN club, I'm sure we can challenge them to a bit of online action. Who's up for showing who's the best uni in Glasgow :)

(there are rumours of a cally lan club as well)

I say we challenge every LAN club around, if we can get enough people between us we could have massive BF2 matches, find an empty 64 man server and just steal it. =P

As for the gaming place, that looks like fun, I might even see if they're looking for staff, need job for more money for more computer for more better gamings. =)

I'm in the microplay CoD team, and will be going down on thursday night if anyone wants to tag along.

Also going on sunday for some CS: S.

Oh, and a lot of folk from strath and cally play there, some are total shite, but one or two have some skills.

This Sunday?

Isn't the LAN this weekend though?

Or are you not coming this time?

Might join you on Thursday, don't think I've ever played CoD, however if it's anything like other 1900's based semi-historical FPSs I'll do ok. =P

£3.50 an hour isn't bad, grab £20 and play for 4 hours, have £6 spare for chips and a drink before heading home. =P

[nemesis]

oh yea, so it is this weekend... yeh, I'll be at the GUNS LAN.

Ill prolly leave around 6pm on thursday from hillhead.

Anyone else?

Oh, and your first hour is free, so its £10 for 4 hours and a free hour on top of that.

[Sideshow]

If Strathclyde and Caley both have LAN clubs, we should try and organise a once-a-year (what's the word? oh yeah - annual) event, with all of us. We're always struggling to get 20 people, but with three clubs we should manage 50 fairly easily. We can call it [Insert something here]Con.

No?

£3.50 * 4 = £14

Taking into account the free hour that would make it £14 for 5 hours the first time, or £10.50 for 4 hours the first time.

So I think you meant to say it's £10.50 for 3 hours with a free hour on top of that. =P

Sorry, I'm pedantic, I know.

When is the place open to? I'll almost definetely see you there on Thursday, meet you in Central or something since I'll just walk over from here.

Add me to MSN or something ( fyndir@gmail.com ) and we'll work it out.

Someone think of an [Insert something here] and I'm all for it. =P

Given that I now have one of the highest post counts (yay spam) that must count for something, right? =P

I don't think Con names are actually copyrighted. Even if they are, I have never heard of it being enforced.

You should have heard me muttering insanely about updating the avatar so you couldn't be all "HAHA I WIN" or something. =P

Tricking me into posting when I'd forgotten it was nearly time to change.

You bitch. =P

How about...

InnuendoCon.

You have to make at least 4 innuendos each hour while gaming. =P

[Tiberio]

Or how about:
-Gamercon?

I would love to go to that place but seeing as i've already spent most of my money for this month it just has to wait :(

[Strings]

Sounds like a cool idea, having a joint thing. Too busy to think of a name atm though.

Nemesis, I think I will join you on Thursday matey. Will it just be CoD though? Some CSS would be coool.

See you there I guess, lets all try and meet beforehand, k?

Sure mate. Just been on the Gamesoc (Strathclyde LAN Group) and I checked out the forums... but jesus they were poorly designed. Kinda hurt my eyes in fact.

I left it alone just from the look of the front page, it felt distastefully cookie-cutter-ish as websites go.

Dare I say, i am actually a Strathclyde man, I looked into the strathy lan club a while ago and wasn't particulary taken by it. When I did check (months ago) the strathy lan was a one day thing in the actual union, and I seem to remember numbers in the region of just over 10.

It did cross my mind to have a joint thing. At one point I was considering asking dave if I could investage any strathy interest, but didnt bother.
Probably all that is needed is a post on their forums. *checks* if they have one ¬_¬

[Fyndir]

Fine by me, I'm friends with one of the Professors (my dad's friend really, but you know how it is..), my brother's a student as are a few of my mates. =)

[Sideshow]

Nothing wrong with being a Strathclyde man. It is, after all, the better Uni.

For EEE, yes.

For Computing Science, no.

[Sideshow]

Well, when I was at Uni, Strathclyde students learnt Scheme & C while Glasgow students learnt Pascal. GU did not have a good rep with employers.

Yeah well I'm basing my claim on the professor at Strathclyde (EEE at Strathclyde) and my big brother (Computing Science at Strathclyde).

Both said Glasgow was better for CS.

...

Unless they just didn't want me at Strathclyde. =P

[Sideshow]

Unless they just didn't want me at Strathclyde. =P

Whyever wouldn't they want that? :)

Also, facilities were way better at Strathclyde.

[Fyndir]

Whyever wouldn't they want that? :)

'cause I've known the Proffessor for my entire life and the same for my brother, they're probably tired of me. =P

[Bluepixie]

HiddenCon
VietCon
TriOpitmumCon
SeedyCon

We should definately do that!

*cough*

I would come along on Thursday but I've got too much work to do. :(
Some othertime though. Want to save my energy (and money) for the LAN at the weekend personally.

[Sideshow]

But you're coming out on wednesday, right?

[Bluepixie]

It's Lindens birthday on Wed, so, I won't be Im afraid. :(

[Fyndir]

But you're coming out on wednesday, right?

Not me. -_-

Turns out I have plans on Wednesday, catching up with some friends, getting dinner, going to Cinema and them helping me write my CV.

Try again next week? =D

EDIT: Never fucking mind, people seem to be cancelling on me. =/

I hate how anytime I try to plan something it all changes last minute, almost every time. =/

So, see you this week, probably.

[Sideshow]

Ah, OK. That's a reasonable excuse for once. Tell her Happy Birthday from me.

yes you are pedantic, and also wrong :p its £10 for 4 hours

[Fyndir]

Unless there's a special deal that I don't know about then my calculations should be right. =)

[nemesis]

They are correct, but they have a few permenant deals so to say, 100 hours for £70 is another of them, as is 4 hours for £10. 8)

Well no-one told me that. =(

Here I was showing off my counting.

[nemesis]

Cant make it to microplay on thursday.. lack of funds pre-LAN

Sucks.

Anyone else still going?

[Strings]

Same as Nemesis, kind of skint. I was thinking of popping in sometime Friday afternoon though. If you want to meet or something it be cool.

I'm resting all day on Friday in preperation for not sleeping at all over the weekend.

[Strings]

You'll find that wont make a bit of difference :wink:

I know all about staying up for extended periods of time and I know I feel better if I'm decently rested when I begin.

[YcMing]

heh, just took a look at the sight, good idea if all the lan soc in different uni/college can come together :).

If they do play starcraft or there is some sort of starcraft compeition, send me in ^^. should be fin :)

[Wind_Steaker]

I was dissapointed at the lack of starcraft on their systems when I went.... maby they just havent gotten round to installing it, it is a new cafe I think.

[YcMing]

ahhh i see, my cousin was telling me about this, wa pretty nice idea :), hope it stays open forever :):):):)

[DAve]

Drop in and have a chat with them about it. I'm sure that if there's enough demand, they will install Starcraft.

[Bluepixie]

Hey, anybody still wanting to play the comp? They cancelled the tournament coz not enough people signed up, but they're still doing thr prize giving thing. Anybody?

Check it out here (http://www.microplaygaming.com/board/viewtopic.php?t=201)

[Fyndir]

Pixie, if I had any money I'd come along and play in all of those FFAs.

Unfortunately I don't, so meh.

[Bluepixie]

ah well that sucks. Maybe next time then?

[Fyndir]

ah well that sucks. Maybe next time then?

Aye, maybe.

[Strings]

Aye Pix, I think Im heading down at least for the CSS tournament.

[nemesis]

I'm heading down aswell, I'll post when I know what time etc.

[Bluepixie]

Aye Pix, I think Im heading down at least for the CSS tournament.

Really?! Cool! I'd totally be up for that. Along as we're on the same team.....

[Fyndir]

Rotfl, a guy I see playing 1.6 a lot just offered to pay for my entry into the Microplay CS:S tournament since he's going anyway. X'D


Think I should accept or just be creeped out?

[Exuus]

He lurves you.

Prepare for man-rape.

[DAve]

Fyndir a-and stalker up a tree,
c-a-m-p-i-n-g
First comes glock,
Seconds comes pwnage
then comes a n00b in a golden carriage.

Man, I really need to get out more.

[Exuus]

Oh lord, that was both hilarious and disturbing.

Poem delivers.

I like it :D

Surely AWP would make more sense than Glock?

[Phizz]

Meh. Would have considered if a) I'd been able to check the post before it went up and b) actually had the time off already. It sucks working nights and weekends. :-(

[nemesis]

I'm gonna be at microplay at about 1pm.

[Fyndir]

I'm gonna be at microplay at about 1pm.


I'll be there at about 5pm or so, only coming for CS:S
