Saturday the 13th I attended a LAN party that a co-worker holds at irregular intervals. I arrived first, dropped off homemade chocolate-chip cookies and fudge, set up my pc, and futzed about on the Internet until playtime.
I missed the last few games because I needed to leave early (work next day, and fatigue from chemotherapy), but participated in the majority of sessions. Of the games we played, I participated in:
- Serious Sam II
- Team Fortress 2
- Star Trek Elite Force II
- Far Cry
- Flatout 2
- Painkiller
The host added animation to the proceedings with exultant laughs, curses and insults hurled at other players. He did it all in a spirit of fun, of course, and others hurled just as much back, but at lower volume.
Everyone had a good time with a minimum of technical issues, making the LAN party a success.
