| Wed Nov 23rd 2011 03:57 PM | This update is a little overdo... but just finally got an understanding of how MW3 'LAN' supports doesn't actually work. In the end the only FPS im aware of that has been released this year that doesn't require constant internet connection is RO2. So that will be the only new FPS that MHOC will add to its server lineup for next years big LAN party. Of course we will still have the older servers running such as CoD4, BF1942, Q3, etc.
I encourage everyone to purchase Red Orchastra 2: Heroes of Stalingrad to show your support for their keeping pointless DRM to a minimum. Hopefully we can have some nice big battles at our LAN next summer!
In other news... TaLA continues to raid and has started on the firelands bosses this month. The last big patch (4.3) before the next expansion is due any week now with the last lvl of raiding. While it might take us a bit to get into the new raiding as an all 10 man TaLA group, the 25man raid finder should help us get some experience with the new raid and gear to help us get going quicker this time.

| Mon Sep 12th 2011 12:12 PM | I have been trying to decide if we will have another big LAN at the library next year, or if i should just stick to smaller home LANs. I haven't made up my mind, but the last 2 years have been frustrating in terms of new games and their abilties to work in a LAN setting. As many people may know most of the new games released in the last few years have not had any LAN support, or if they do still require and internet connection. Because of this we have been playing older games like Quake 3, CoD4, Warcraft 3, etc. There have been a few newer titles like Demigod and Blur that have supported LAN and we have latched onto those for bringing something "new" to the LAN. Saddly there has not been any good FPS that allowed us to customize a LAN server and let us play with our internet simply unstable with the number of people trying to use it at the same time.
Just as i was about ready to throw in the towel there is a little light shining ahead. In fact 2 lights. Red Orchastra 2and Modern Warfare 3. Both have said they will support LAN gaming and personal dedicated servers!!!! This is huge news! BUT i have not gotten confirmation that they will fully function in a non-internet environment yet. If they in fact do, these 2 games will likely become the new game of choice at our LAN party. SO, now time will tell if these games can bring back the glory days of our LAN party. So, watch this space and when i find out if they will work without internet access, i will update.

Some good old WC3 TD was played as well as Demigod and a few other random games people played. 16 people ended up attending and after expenses we ended up with $80 donation to the library! Also thanks to our only sponsor GalaxyGaming for the t-shirts, hats, and Bawlz. If your in Sioux Falls and have some time to game check them out! I will try and get some pictures up from the event sooner than later.
