Shooting people in the face

andrewduckerSpent yesterday in Musselburgh with a few work-friends, having a mini LAN party. Derek turned up at midday in his car, we shoved my PC, monitor, keyboard, etc. into the boot and headed off (oh, and the Bongos for Donkey Konga, of course).
The first hour was spent fruitlessly trying to get ICS working on his machine, before deciding that AOL wasn't compatible with it (yes, I know, but it's not my connection, so what can I do?). We then gave up, and decided to play what games we could, starting with some Quake 4 deathmatch. Which was great fun, but would have been better if it hadn't kept crashing on my machine. So, after an hour of that (where I did pretty well, except for the crashing wiping out my score every ten minutes or so), we switched to UT 2004. Which was actually more fun, and _didn't_ crash.
This carried on for another hour or so (with me doing ok, but not as well as I had at Q4), before we switched to the Dreamcast for some Virtua Fighter, then the GameCube for some Soul Calibur, then back to the DreamCast for Rush 2049, which made me an instant convert to the battling car frenzy.
We then enjoyed a brief go on Burnout 3 on the XBox, before I was given a lift home, 8 hours of gaming having worn me out entirely :->
