Actually... anyone who doesn't have the game will be hooked up.
Of course, it's on your honor to remove it after the party (if you so desire).

naaahhh, the issue for me is getting there.
I suspect it is an evening gig?

I'll see about opening the ports so that people can join in from the outside.
I'm not sure on the hours yet, but it's safe to assume a 6:00pm start time (possibly earlier) and an end time of early Sunday morning.
Good times!

I think I can be counted in.
I'll likely just bring my work Laptop and play on that. The other option is bringing a Shuttle PC (Good for Lans) and my 19" CRT (Bad for Lans).
Any feelings towards rocking some Counterstrike: Source?

I'm not sure what people are going to want to/be able to play.
There will be a few boxes there that are probobly underpowered for some of the newer games, so we'll just have to feel it out. There will also be several people there who have never done a lan before as well (so lots of me running around screaming "What ASSHOLE has ICS turned on!?!").
Good times!

40 ports each.
Want me to bring one?

And here is hoping for remotin'
Is that a propeller on your skull beanie, Bio?

It was supposed to be a bow, but it looks more like a propeller, now that you mention it.
It's pry gonna go away tonight... as I work graveyard, and that's when I'm most likely to change my avatar. I get bored and fire up illustrator and photoshop.
I'm also going to bring a DVD or two of MP3's for the next "Name this Noise" game. I still haven't decided for sure what decade to use (and yes... I will be checking the Australian version of Billboard to verify that all songs were in the top 40 down under).
