What's Shaken:
-2 NEW dates for mcLAN IV and V, brought to you by the MCLA comp department. mcLAN IV will take place on Sunday March 28th from 11am-11pm and mcLAN V will be on Sunday May 8th 11am-11pm. Since these LAN are sponsored by the computer department, we will be able to support walkins and BYOC gamers.... if you don't know what BYOC is, you're prolly a walkin. Cost is FREE, gonna try and snag some sponsors as well. More info to come in the near future!
-First off, I would like to appologize to everyone that I could not get in contact with ahread of time. It appears, that although I had student affairs clearance and aparent maintenance approval....... I had no equipment, ie tables, chairs, power strips, extensions cords... AT ALL!!!!!!! And to top it all off, the same person that cleared me to use the gym..... also cleared the women's basketball team to use the gym for practice at 10am. So all I have to say at this point is WTF!!! I am considering rescheduling this event and I will take all the responsibility and make sure it works, because at this point, it just keeps getting worse. Thank you to all those interested, I apologize for letting you down and wasting your time.
-HOLY CRAP A NEW UPDATE!!! Yes it is true, mcLAN IV is on its way. SAturday October 25th, 10am-10pm. I am sorry about the lack of updates, but late is better than never. If anyone needs information, please email me at mclagames@hotmail.com or hit up the message board. Thanks, hope to see you Saturday!
-Huzzah!!!!! An update!!! Since this semester bombed on us, I have taken it upon myself to start planning for the fall. Right now I am looking into the 13th or 20th of Spetember as possible dates for mcLAN IV...... which will happen, even if I need to overthrow the school to do it. I'll keep you guys posted on other events throughout the summer. Have fun and stay safe!
-mcLAN IV is now TBA, gym time has been reserved by admissions..... and the only time I could get that was reasonable was April 19th........ but that is Easter Weekend, sooo ARGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'll let ya know whats goin on, not lookin good.
-*UPDATE UPDATE* Hey guys, April 19th is lookin like the date for mcLAN IV. The mclan site may also be moving to a new host soon. A new message board has also been set up, courtesy of pissboy over at fragfortoys, it is located at http://www.fragfortoys.net/forum/index.php
check it out and give me some more feedback.
-MessageBoard is back up! Network54 had issues cuz they changed server hosts and lost some scripts, but all is good, so get posting. BadLANs is looking like it's gonna be a HUGE success, check them out at www.thebadlans.net. Wewt!
-The big question right now is, when is the best time for you guys to have this LAN? I am aiming for April, after spring break, because that is most likely the best time for everyone since it will be a good jump start to getting back into school mode. Leave your thoughts on the message board and let anyone else know that may be interested to do the same. Thanks and see you soon!
-Presently considering a LAN party either the first or second week of April. It should be a nice way to welcome everyone back after spring break with some friendly fragging. Please feel free to post on the message board any questions or concerns.
-It's been quite a while. I finally have some time to start getting things done, so within a week I should be updating this site and possibly planning a future LAN. Until that point, go check the BadLANs site and see the good stuff they are doin to make LANs a huge success, ww.thebadlans.net. Cya soon
- Hey guys, sorry about the lack of updates but I have less than zero time right now, next big update prolly wont be for another month..... after finals
-The LAN was a great time, right now I'm waiting on some photos and at that point I'll get around to updating the site more. I've been a bum lately, but I think I deserve a rest for now. No plans for the next one yet, we shall see. Thanks to all the sponsors!
-One day till mcLAN III. Here's what we got goin so far: There will be a Jedi Knight Saber Duel for a case of Bawls. Based on turnout we will most likely have a team match for Mouse Bungees. The rest of the goodies will go out via raffle. Doors open at 10am, dont for get a power strip and some CAT 5.
-Great news, I just got confirmation from Nvidia that they will be sponsoring mcLAN III!!!!!! This is unbelievable and I can't wait to see the goodies they will be sending us.
-2 weeks to go! I'd like to welcome our newest sponsor, TigerDirect.com. They got some great gaming equipment (Full systems, MOD materials, Video cards and more) over at their site, so make sure you check it out.
-Things are going well, and it looks as though I may be able to get a donation from the IM department for the purpose of more goodies for the gamers. I'm hopen that works out cuz it means more Bawls for everyone.
-Looks like we got some quality Poll Spamming goin on. Unless I start seeing some more signups the poll is goin offline and I'll just pick something, and it wont be CS.
-News article in the Beacon this week, hopefully it will draw some more attention to the cause... what cause? Filling more servers. More flyers also expected to be out soon, the more advertisement the better. Make sure that if you are signing up to get me your name, email, and gaming handle.
-BUNGEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank the gods! I just got in 3 awesome Mouse Bungees to give away, these guys are mcLAN's newest sponsor and I am more than happy to have them. Other great news, IceMat has returned and I have a sleek black IceMat for a lucky person. Things are shaping up and looking great!
-LitePads and GamersPort just rolled in their gear and it's pretty freakin sweet. I got 5 mousepads as of now to give away. More stuff to come woohoooo
-Hey Hey! Picked up IceMat as a returning sponsor, their has also been interest shown from MouseBungee, and a few others I can't recall at the moment. I'll keep the updates rollin.
-And the sponsors arrive!!!!!!!!! Much thnx to the sponsors that have already committed to mcLAN. Our NEWEST sponsor is LitePads, check out the link above, they make some awesome stuff for optical mice. Everglide/gamersport is a returning sponsor and we're happy to have them. In the works at the momment are Nvidia, Phamcomputers, ICEmat, and GearGrip/CaseACE. I'm puttn a lot of effort into gettn these guys, so hopefully I can pull about 50% or better.
-mcLAN III is now in planning stages. Looks like a date somewhere in mid OCT, 2nd or 3rd weekend seem likely. If you have any thoughts, post on the boards..... messageboards need love too. One tournament has already been decided upon......... Jedi II: Saber Duel. Depending on number of players it will either be double elimination, round robin, or "one and done", tourney will be for a case of Bawls. A second tourney is yet to be determined, it will most likely be team based. Campus advertising will most likely begin first week of school, w00t. Gonna track down some more sponsors as well, and bring back the great ones that are already behind us. Hopefully by the end of the school year we can pack that gym!!!!
-HOUSE LAN III: There is a tentative date of Sat. July 27th. This will be in order to brush up on skills before the BIG 100 MAN LAN hosted by the BL guys on august 3rd,
www.thebadlans.net, CHECK IT OUT!
-The second house LAN was a huge success!! We had 12 gamers show and crammed them all into my garage. Tons of mohaa in a variety of gaming options was played, ffa, team, obj. Lil bit of the great AoE2 Conq, and for some reason, a ton of 1 plyer Morrowind was played very often. Good times! I'll keep ya posted on the next.
-Hey Kids! The summer has begun, and so will my first mini basement LAN. Sorry folks, this is the trial run an dlimited to the Bristol Folk muwahahah. I'll let ya know how things go.
