Steve's Slaughterhouse

We spent Saturday at Steve's Slaughterhouse for the bi-monthly LAN Party. It was a good turn out (about 16 nerds) including a few old favourites that I hadn't seen for a while. Steve kindly put on a BBQ for lunch and had even built his own trestle tables. I forgot to take my camera (as usual).

UT2k4 is a neat game - especially the Onslaught and Bombing Run game-types. I also like the Shoryuken style Adrenalin Combos. Unfortunately I had no idea how and when to use them. Team Multiplayer would be a lot of fun once you understood the game well enough. It's a nice change from the more serious shooters that have cornered our attention of late.

Far Cry is OK but it seemed to run poorly on everyone's machines. It doesn't add much that hasn't been done before, but the graphics are really nice.

Heath offered a weekend session at his beach-house in the near future. That sounds like a lot of fun and it'll give us an chance to get some serious gaming in. Sadly I think interest may be waning amongst a few of the players. I'm not sure if we'll be able to draw a big enough crowd.

Best Rush style stage pyrotechnics : Tom's PSU (the moment he plugged it in!).

What is it with PSU's these days?
