No prob. If you have any questions for me or need a second opinion, just hit me up on Live or whatever.
As you found out last LAN, I suggest possibly finding a way to reduce the time limit while still having legitimate games. Maybe reduce TDM score for MW3 to 5000 and the number of respawns for Gears to 10.

And they wonder why the LANs turn out so …. mediocre.
Which is why we had over a hundred people at the last one?
I’m wondering why it’s stagnating at just over 100. In one year, we saw growth from 50-75 to easily 150. And the atmosphere was very different from the previous ones I attended. It was very underwhelming in comparison in both the PC and console sectors. Honestly.. it was just TOO quiet for a gaming LAN, and I’m not referring about the game volume.
And the 3DS will probably interact with the WiiU if they follow up with their previous E3 announcements.
But the Vita is the new portable handheld as Lemm said.
I read somewhere that it was confirmed to take place in Los Santos / same setting as San Andreas. But.. *yawn*. I just can’t get into the “story” of any of the GTA games. And if I play it.. it’s just for 30 minutes to blow up things.
The new portable handheld, the PS VIta, doesn’t look too different from the Wii U controller. Maybe that’s what he’s referring to?
I’d probably suspect a $500-$600 system. Something akin to the PS3’s original price tag. Everybody’s obsessing over the price of the controller even though only 1 will work with the system (unless some press release / announcement came out). It’s more than a controller. It’s a tablet with the size of that screen built in. Luckily, it is fully compatible with all Wii accessories and games.

They’ve also got their own “Just Dance” game coming out too. Seems like Sony can’t come up with an original idea. Honestly, I’d just be happy to see a good Sony exclusive game that doesn’t take me 1 to 3 hours to install/update to play it the first time. *crossesfingershopingthatTwistedMetaldoesn’tcometothat*
Oh I dont know, how about:
-Uncharted:Drakes Fortune
-Uncharted: Among Theives
-LittleBigPlanet
-Infamous
-Dead Nation
-God of War 3
– Any “Collection” games
– Valkyria Chronicles
– Demons Souls
– Resistance: Fall of Man
– Resistance 2
Yea, i think you get the point lol. Good games with little to no install time. I can list more if you’d like.
LBP 1&2, Demon Souls, and Infamous I’ll agree with you. Everything else is ok on my list. I’ll maybe even put Uncharted on my good games list, but only the first two apply to the lack of install/update time. The third one falls victim to this trend. Every game that has come out in the past year; however, has required a ridiculously long update/install time.
And by the way.. Dead Nation is a cheap arcade game that they gave away for free and the Collection games are just HD updates to previous games. Stuff that they released on PS 2 discs without need of installs or updates in the first place.
They’ve also got their own “Just Dance” game coming out too. Seems like Sony can’t come up with an original idea.

+1 to Kuros.
That and try to find a good Gamestop if you have the option. There’s 5 here in Winston.. and I’ve seen other cities with multiples stores available. So if you have bad experiences with management/staff switch stores until you find a good one. Figure out who the good GAs (who know their stuff and can avoid problems from the get go) as well as the good management staff (SGA/ASM/SM). I highly doubt a store has ALL bad employees and all levels, but can definitely have a few bad eggs to really ruin your experiences.
Hence why I provided my opinion on how to help build up the PC presence back on campus.. but not much has been done about it.
At least LoL is offering support for offline play (or attempting to). How many other companies other than Riot and Valve are providing LAN support for their titles?
Save the flaming and trolling for the meetings. And when you actually want input worth a *edited* for LAN purposes, come see me.
orly? I meant to post some of my info last night just in case you guys needed extra input/opinion, but oh well, got tied up with BF3 and LoL. Anyways, if you ever do want an alumni opinion, you can just send me a message or find me on XBL/Skype.
I don’t see what a YouTube video proves.
I just see “pro players” complaining about something because the respected authorities say ban a character. When did the WCU Gaming LANs become either qualifiers or circuit tournaments for major games?
MasterP said:
It did. With PC we used to watch for really good deals on Amazon and GoGamer and would buy prizes months ahead of time with extreme disounts and it saved a ton of money.
This.
And push harder for reaching out for sponsors. There’s lots of small companies out there that are willing to work to get some more business their way.
Well after looking at the LAN times, I’m not going to have to worry about it. I’ll just hang out and catch up with what few people I know until the Halo tournament starts.

—Sorry, but I’m new to this. Why not just use Super Smash Bros Brawl? Also, what time does the tournament start?—-

As for the second part of your question, I remember reading that they had a meeting to nail down tournament times and what not, I just haven’t seen them posted anywhere.
I don’t care. Personally, I don’t like the fact that there’s so many “fighters” in the LAN and EVERY fighter has some sort of character or characters that are broken in some regards.
With the way our LANs go, the pros really don’t gain much from winning at our tournaments other than jerking their own… chain.

Feel like gonna see alot of team killz in gearz >.>
Yeah. But it rewards those who are patient and accurate shots. Just be careful of the sawed off’s in close range shotty battles.
I mainly went for fun too, but some things can make the game and tournament un-fun, such as one character having one exploitable glitch that a “pro” player uses or what have you. Then I think a character should be banned.
Maybe it’s a good thing that I graduated when I did. That or maybe they should’ve hired me to do something in administration, but then they would’ve hit their common sense quota.
Agreed. I remembered going with Shane, Mouchet, and CooLAciD and posting them around all the dorms ourselves with RA/RD supervision.

You should come to run the lan dude
For old times sake
ROFL. Yeah. Maybe if they ever get this “Alumni Advisor” thing approved and resolved.
Bloodedge said:
I kinda want to get a 360 just for Gears lol. Is that bad?
Actually, it’s quite normal. I know several PS3 players saying that they would buy a 360 just for Gears. That and many Xbox owners say they specifically own the system for the Gears franchise.

I kinda want to get a 360 just to have people to play with.
One of the main reasons why my PS3 mainly goes untouched.
