Unreal Tournament 2004

[Axecleaver]

So who wants to take a night this week and play UT2004 demo? Would be a fun switch IMO. They have integrated voicechat... challenge would just be finding a server we can all connect to and have decent ping on.

Can get demo at http://www.unrealtournament.com

Been playing for the last couple hours, very fun and really easy to learn if you're familiar with most FPS games.

I'm in for either Wednesday or Thursday night.

could be in for wed.

Will we see the return of the people'sDBA???

Please?

[Sodom]

I'll try and download the demo tonight.

I know dick-all about finding a server that's going to be good, who wants to take that action item? Hehe, I used the phrase "action item" in a sentence.

this week is bad for me, i have no time to do anything:: next week though, if you guys wanna play unreal or CS or DoD or something, that would be wicked chill

We played last night after the alb zerg failed to satisfy. Need to get voicecomm up and running so we get some teamwork going. We had a few situations where we had cover fire and supporting fire and stuff but not always.

[Lifesbane]

that was a lot of fun, we gotta do it more often

[Zutroy]

people'sDBA?

[Amberryl]

sounds wicked fun, is this just a one-week deal or will you guys be doing this next week?

[Amberryl]

i got the sudden urge to play Tribes now, whos with me?

[Zutroy]

I figured out last night that you can host a listen server and actually play on it. So we don't need a person with a 2nd comp to run a dedicated server for us.

You see a preformance hit when playing/hosting?

PeoplesDBA was Axe's CS handle when we all used to play after work. I was Soylend, Sidd was Sidd, Zaius was Zaius...

Anybody remember what Mylar's handle was? What's he up to these days?

[Axecleaver]

I think we'll be playing this whenever someone motivates us to do so.

Back when we all worked together we would sometimes do counterstrike sessions at work. They would last long into the night, then we'd go drive to the rib joint and feast on cow flesh. It was good times.

To amuse ourselves at work we would dream up ever more elaborate outlook signatures. One of mine was "The Peoples' DBA" because I always championed the needs of the developers against the evil corporate interests. If a developer needed database stuff done it would happen in minutes or hours instead of days or weeks.

I used this moniker for my counterstrike session and became a vengeful force of good, champion of the oppressed developer class. The struggle was long and hard and in the end the company ran out of money and got sold to some spam provider, and all our options went underwater forever.

I doubt there would be much of a performance hit with only 4 or 5  of us connected to it. We should get someone with a good comp to host it though (like axe).
