Quote from The Very End :

Trust me, there is NOTHING as great as some real fast food when you are out drinking. Mmm, normally I canot stand MC. Donalds food, but when I am pisshead I just love that food, it's like everything in the world could not compare to a meal of fastfood when your out.

That's very true, same goes for hangover.

BTW one of my most proud moments were when me and my friend were at McDonalds (drunk of course) and when I got out of the WC, I shouted "Yay I got to piss for free!" and at the same time I could hear the cashier saying to my friend that your bank account doesn't have enough money for hamburger. We felt very poor. Then we proceeded to grab a taxi.

Oh and that 2012 thingie, I dunno from where it has started, but it seems like this myth about 2012 is shouted all over the internet, there is different cosmic stories about world ending or aliens coming and etc. etc. So before actually something happens @ 2012 I wouldn't take any of that as a fact.

Yes of course I know, but I was just being fussy about it.

Quote from Mikkel Petersen :

Sweeet!
Like your car even though it's only a three door look-a-like!

Well thanks.

BTW I would say more like it's a genuine 3dr, but a only a Cosworth look-a-like. I like it too, just hopefully someday the performance figures are also at least matching to a Cossie.

From what I've seen from videos I have to agree with the thing about over exited commentary. It's pain in the ass when you want to see and hear the cars and the commentator goes nuts.

I have once been in a local drifting "show" in Ahvenisto, few years back. And I have to admit that I was pretty thrilled when the white 400-look B-Manta with N/A 3.0 straight-6 with ITB's went nuts in the corners ripping it's tires off. And yes, in Finland we don't have that much of a problem with over exited commentators.
Ok maybe it wouldn't been that much of a thrill if the cars would all been Nissans etc.

Tho a busy race weekend (especially when Historics are around) gives more to watch and hear than a drifting show.

But I should maybe go to watch some drifting show again this year, it has evolved to a lot bigger in here after that.

Meh, why not. Not from googlemaps and I think this is more like a rallystage.

There is nearby another road what I use for "rallying" and it's alot better than this, but there wasn't a proper satellite picture available.

That's a mk5.

When I was little I used to have loads of little toy cars. Dunno where they are now.

Quote from S14 DRIFT :

Real men drink beer from a Can.

No. Real men drink their beer from so big glasses that their girlfriends can't carry them to the table because their too heavy.

Oh, 9-3.

I haven't tried Quake Live, but I don't think it should work in closed LAN network?

BTW it's interesting how people keep coming up with the Age Of Empires when I multiple times said that no RTS please.

I think we also have some surf maps on CS1.6, but we usually haven't been so fond on them.

Thanks for the tips. We already have Gungame, but usually don't play that during LAN, but in public servers.

Delta Force: Black Hawk Down seems interesting.

I think we used to play some of the Quake games, but that 3: Arena is on the "maybe" list now.

Only two of us own steering wheel, so I don't think I'm going to bring it with me this time.

Oh and btw we also have TF 1 & 2.

I did some research and we're gonna try Flatout and Rainbow Six 3 this time. But keep them coming, your tips may get useful in future LANs.

We have a good amount of games, but usually we tend to pick 2-4 ones that feel good at the time. I bet that GTA IV + Flatout + Rainbow Six 3 and maybe something familiar like CS1.6 is our combo this time. Something new is always good to spice it up.

BTW we usually don't have that much problem with the "networking". But sometimes we have used maybe 6 hours or something to make the bloody rF work.
Usually we have nicely time for proper playing, but after all we usually end up screwing around in different FPS games, ie. fist or knife fight sometimes makes the most of the time. At least during the morning hours after no sleep it can be surprisingly entertaining to do just the stupid stuff. Games like GTA SAMP and GTA IV leave lots of space for the imagination and so usually the "who has most scores" gaming kinda leaves the room.

Thanks for the tip, but sorry, like I said, no RTS games. We just don't like them.

We're gonna have a little "lan-party" with my friends and I thought about asking this.
Can you recommend us some funny games for LAN mp use? Preferably FPS games, new or old.

We don't want anything serious or superior, just something to have a good laugh about.

Maybe you know some forgotten gems?

We already have:
CS 1.5, 1.6 and Source.
HL1 & 2
Unreal Tournament
Serious Sam 2 (don't recommend the first one)
Crysis
STALKER
Far Cry 1 & 2
GTA IV
GTA SAMP
Left 4 Dead
LFS (of course)
Contrack Jack, No One Lives Forever 1 & 2
rFactor
Swat 4
Warsow
All Battlefields (I think)
Almost all NFS'es.
Vietcong
Team Fortress 1 & 2
Red Orchestra

Please tell me if you can recommend something. And oh, no RPG/RTS (whatsoever) games.

We have a lot of games but lately we haven't discovered anything new and funny so something more could spice it up.

Thanks.

Quite horrid, tho I remember the UK one.

-EDIT- I remember the AUS one too now.

In the pictures it looks like they are still using the same crappy graphics engine, hope that's not final.

Hopefully they will include a proper LAN mode this time.

What other games do you play? You already mentioned Half-Life and Age Of Empires 2, but those are very old games and don't need a good computer to run.

Yes, LFS is one of the easy games to run for the PC, but it's many times more demanding than those two.

Well... Even if you have 512 Mb it's very low amount nowadays too.

And as I can see you're from UK, please write better language, your writing is pain in the ass to read.

I assume you meant that your PC is Dell OPTIPLEX GX240 and what I could find with google is that it's just slow. It's CPU isn't that good, there's not much memory and the graphics card is really bad. It's not suited for gaming really. You could try to use lower resolution and turning different graphics settings to as low as possible.

Well may I shake your brain goo more?

I liked those "winter" wheels more. They're more "hardcore". Those summer wheels just look like their made for cruising in the city. I also want that steering wheel.

And about the shifter position, it's not like I won't like it being close to the steering wheel, that's a good thing. But I think it looks just a bit stupid when it comes from the dash instead of the floor. You can have the shifter close to the steering wheel even when it comes from the floor. I used to have a long shifter with shortened ratio (or how I should call it) it felt really awesome and was close to the wheel. But I had to replace it with stock shifter because it weirdly made an annoying rattling sound while giving the right foot.

What the hell. The raceabout actually exists?!

Yes it's made in Finland. In the best country of all.

I'm not a big fan of the actual car but still.

Me me me!

Thanks.

Well that's very good looking for a Civic of that generation. I love those wheels and mudflaps and that steeringwheel. It looks like it's supposed to get driven on some gravel road nice and hard. THO I still hate those Civics, that basic shape is just stupid.

I tried to get to the Saturnus, but I kinda managed to keep going past it. Also I have no sound.

Well I dunno about you but I wouldn't be that much amused in behind the wheel of that car. That was just simple boring handbrake maneuver in slow speed in wet asphalt. Doesn't require a proper driver or anything.

Of course you can toy around in every car, but some cars are fun to toy around and some aren't.
