I would rofl if the theme was the game
Posted by: dead_man Nov 12 2009, 09:26 PM
didnt you hear? im comparing MW2 to WOW, both are full of fail!
Posted by: Jeffy Nov 12 2009, 09:28 PM
WOW does not compare to anything, except when you get a complimentary box of razor blades.
Posted by: Tank Nov 12 2009, 09:49 PM
we havn't decided on a theme quite yet
Posted by: xevious Nov 12 2009, 10:59 PM
mw2 isnt that full of fail... the storylines pretty cool, and well multiplayer sucks ass, however im getting good ping so im not complaining
Posted by: TechL Nov 13 2009, 04:56 PM
I actually bought MW2... 
Posted by: dead_man Nov 13 2009, 05:41 PM
im disowning both of you, im making it my personal responibility that you are connected at 1Mbps!!
Posted by: Sharks Nov 13 2009, 08:52 PM
Much respect!
I'd like to see a theme like Respawn LAN v10: Quarantine. From what I saw from photos, it looked greatly decorated.
Posted by: minski Nov 14 2009, 12:33 AM
w00t w00t!! FINALLY!!! 
Posted by: SirSquidness Nov 14 2009, 10:05 AM
So. If you're going to correct people....
*does ... anyone... know ... what.. theme
Inclusion of full stop and capitals, definite improvement. Points are lost for inclusion of too many capitals.
I suppose you could say that you lost the game.

Pfft, hypocrite! Your correction had too many periods.

Posted by: SirSquidness Nov 14 2009, 12:53 PM
I'm sensitive about that =(
Posted by: xevious Nov 14 2009, 07:43 PM
hm, wouldnt that mean that a whole table will be connected at 1Mbps?
Posted by: SirSquidness Nov 14 2009, 09:02 PM
hm, wouldnt that mean that a whole table will be connected at 1Mbps?
Nope. Managed switches are awesome things.
That said, there's no reason not to set the table to 10mbps with hub technology. (I'd say 1mbps, but ethernet switches only support 10/100/1000mbps.)
...
Unless... token ring or coax anyone?

Fix your own spelling before correcting others
Posted by: TechL Nov 16 2009, 01:46 PM
The theme should be the G15
hurr derr
Posted by: Andrewzor Nov 16 2009, 01:54 PM
Theme should be suits/suiting up

I can drop your port to 10mbit half duplex.... but I'm nice
Posted by: Morsolo Nov 16 2009, 03:10 PM
Just thought I would be bothered to say something 
I've been itching to come to one of the events for a while now (since v9 I think) but just haven't had the time.
The 23rd is my Birthday! What a lovely present! Thanks admin guys or whoever organises the events!

Want me just to beat the crap out of both of them since I sit with them?

Please do.
(Respawn nor Squid do no endorse beating the shit out of people. Do at your own risk)
Posted by: dead_man Nov 16 2009, 10:36 PM
meh, that bought MW2 so im not fussed
should we name and shame ppl that have got it (on PC) ?
Posted by: TechL Nov 17 2009, 09:15 AM
At least I'll be famous that way if you name me
Posted by: Jeffy Nov 17 2009, 09:40 AM

that would be awesome, get everyone who has it up to the front to leave there name(say ur thinking of holding a comp if there is interest) then shame them on the PA!!
Posted by: TechL Nov 17 2009, 06:45 PM
You can name and shame me, at least it's only for owning MW2
Posted by: Sharks Nov 18 2009, 05:29 PM
They already shamed you on the projector with your keyboard dance...
(V12, I think?)
Posted by: TechL Nov 18 2009, 06:42 PM
yeah
Posted by: GIARUS Nov 23 2009, 12:45 AM
You have been named and shamed on youtube already.

There's a couple of reasonably priced hotels near by. There was back in the day of Shafted you could use the halls of residence for a fee. I dont know if they're still doing that, but I'm sure Zardoz would know as he's the knower of all, keeper of the LaTrobe Knowledge.
Best bet.....

Hi all.

Can we bring our own chairs? or do we have to use the supplied ones?
Posted by: Patryn Nov 30 2009, 06:09 PM
i've seen people bring their own chairs...
mega annoying if they're huge coz it's hard to get past! >< and they really squeeze us in to get the numbers!
Posted by: lucky13 Nov 30 2009, 06:19 PM
cool, i couldnt sit on a plastic school chair for too long
also, can we have visitors? my gf wants to come and see whats its all about and maybe play ds for a couple hours.
Posted by: Ultimate_Sacrifice Nov 30 2009, 06:26 PM
Yes Chairs are allowed also you can bring spectators but there not allowed to enter any of the competitions unless they register and pay. Make sure they get a spectators pass form the front desk, we don't want her to get kicked out =.=
Posted by: Tank Nov 30 2009, 07:05 PM
Hi guys!
you can bring your own chair IF it's like a normal sized office chair type. (we had someone try and bring a lazy-boy... )
You can bring a friend if you like! if they wont be playing in comps etc, please just ask for a spectator tag from me at the front desk
Posted by: Hoodlum Dec 3 2009, 01:13 PM
Don't mean to be a hard arse, (no pun intended lol) But um.. couldnt u just take a couple of pillows ?? leave the office @ home for a few hours ??
Bad enuff lugging a rig+monitor+inputs+food/watever .... let alone that $300 erganomic geek throne lol.
each to their own i guess...
Personally, i've gone 12 hours on a milk create under a table and still managed.
" A WHOLE PLASTIC CHAIR!!? U MEAN IT'S GOT A BACK SUPPORT!!!!?? - SHIIT SONNN THATS QUALITY!! "
Posted by: SirSquidness Dec 3 2009, 01:57 PM
A milk crate?! THE LUXURY! When I LAN, I'm lucky to have a floor!
Pfft... youngins.
Posted by: TechL Dec 3 2009, 02:47 PM
I like to bring my office chair... since every Respawn I've been to.
Posted by: dead_man Dec 3 2009, 03:40 PM
i dont bring my chair anymore, not enough room in the car with the rest of teh shit
Posted by: SirSquidness Dec 3 2009, 05:19 PM
I bring my camping chair sometimes. Better than the plastic chairs there.... just.

A floor? Aw hell son, I'm not even afforded that luxury. I usually have to float mid air while at LANs and let me tell you, it's not easy!
Posted by: SirSquidness Dec 3 2009, 06:55 PM
Back in my day, we had to LAN from outside the venue while floating in mid air.
Posted by: Patryn Dec 3 2009, 07:26 PM
back in my day, we had to use abacus to play CS?
Posted by: dead_man Dec 3 2009, 07:52 PM
in my day we didnt have CS or DOTA, Thank christ for that.
god i miss the old days
Posted by: LolSauce Dec 3 2009, 08:12 PM
Back in my day, it was all about the multiplayer golden eye
Posted by: Maelstrom Dec 3 2009, 09:09 PM
Did I hear someone say Goldeneye Source?
Posted by: TechL Dec 4 2009, 01:03 AM
Did I hear multiplayer pong?
Posted by: SirSquidness Dec 4 2009, 11:11 AM
FUCK YEAH.
Now find me a decent one.
Posted by: Jeffy Dec 4 2009, 02:34 PM
LOL @ Multiplayer Pong
Posted by: Patryn Dec 4 2009, 05:45 PM
multiplayer pong was pretty fun at Game On! a bit weird coz it wasn't really pong, but close enough! ><
Posted by: Alioth Dec 4 2009, 07:29 PM
FUCK YEAH.
Now find me a decent one.
Bit Trip Beat on WiiWare is 4 player PvE Pong. it's all kinds of awesome.
Also, back in my day, we had to LAN with paper and pen.

Sorry to interupt the fun talk about "teh ol' dayz"
Theres a group of us that would like to sit next to each other so we can compare dick sizes, do we have to "save" spots or is there seat booking/allocation?

Hey, does anyone know if DC++ works on a 'Windows Home Server'?
I want to bring mine to share and receive linux distros and other freeware stuff.
I'm not sure because 1 - its based on Windows Server 2003, and 2 - The server does weird stuff with the disks like grouping them all to look like 1 drive.. Has anyone ever tried this before?
Cheers!
P.S. I will of course be asking the organisers if its ok before i attach a 'Server' to the network.
Posted by: SirSquidness Jan 14 2010, 12:23 PM
Yes it does work. Ask Wolfmother about his experiences if you wish.
Posted by: Devil Doll Jan 14 2010, 12:53 PM
I'm still using the string cup technique. Is this why no one calls? ;(

The grouping harddrives thing could be due to JBOD (just a bunch of discs) being setup. From my understanding of JBOD that is it's essential purpose. For more information, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-RAID_drive_architectures#JBOD
Posted by: BeNoM Jan 14 2010, 02:40 PM
Oh awesome. Thanks Squidy.
priorax - It doesn't use JBOD, its a different technology.. something they call Windows 'Drive Extender'. Not sure if its closely related or not though..
"Microsoft's Windows Home Server employs drive extender technology, whereby an array of independent disks are combined by the OS to form a single pool of available storage. This storage is presented to the user as a single set of network shares. Drive extender technology expands on the normal features of concatenation by providing data redundancy through software – a shared folder can be marked for duplication, which signals to the OS that a copy of the data should be kept on multiple physical disks, whilst the user will only ever see a single instance of their data.["
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Home_Server#Drive_Extender
After some more google searching I seem to be confirming that DC++ should work fine with it which is awesome
Yay

From what I know you just set up wherever there is room, so maybe whoever gets there first just kindly asks people to not sit in certain spots so that your friends can sit with you. There is no seat allocation, just try and turn up early to get a table with no one on it yet

Hi guys!
B3NN is correct, we currently do not offer a seat alloction option.
we DO offer seat rservations, basically how these work is that when you arrive at the venue, you can reserve seats for your mates (provided of course they are in the top 500). We have 2 options avaliable, UNPAID, which reseves their seat until 2pm, or PAID (where you pay for them) which reserves their seat for the entirity of the event.
thanks guys, if you have any further worries or questions, feel free to ask

I think most people lost their sanity around 4am due to the mass quantities of attainage going on. You could feel the madness spreading through DC++ chat.
