LAN to the AM

So last night we had a pizza/movie (Pirates of the Carribean 2)/LAN night. Pirates 2 was ok, the first was better go figure. Apparently a lot of people didn't know that Pirates 3 was already in filming and thus there will be a sequal which is, not unsurprisingly, set up in this movie.

LAN was awesome. Lots of fun. We played Return to Castle Wolfenstein. It was only 5 of us initially and 6 later on so at times things were a little slow and at times bloody frustrating because it's hard to overwhelm an enemy when your numbers are so small. I did a lot of offense and a lot of defense. Offense usually won although a couple times the D held out once we reduced game time down to 10 minutes from 20. Played almost every map they had to offer.

Some favorite: the submarine base. A lot of fun to swim around even if it made it bloody hard to patrol against attacking engineers. The Allied war documents level that the Allies absolutely owned on. I don't even know the name. Basically for the first two rounds I sat in the gaurd tower with the machine gun and cut down enemies while Seth and Ron were everywhere and nowhere popping up and killing the Axis. The few guys who did get through met long range death that they didn't even locate the source of until the second round. The third round they pressed that so I abandoned the tower for a different vantage point. That level would be a challenge to win for the Axis with small numbers honestly. It's very easy for the Allies to defend.

In the end we stayed up til 3:30 AM playing and I didn't get to bed til past 4. It ruined my attempts to reset my sleep schedule to a more regular time but that's ok. I'll have to get up early tomorrow and Monday so hopefully I'll get back into things then.

That's all for now. I will do a write up for Dani's game eventually. It'll be short because I was the only one who showed.
