| Tue Apr 8th 2008 03:59 PM | Yup, i finally have a date. The date is in stone... the location is not.  I am trying for a larger location, and it looks like we will be ok. However if needed we will go back to the library and limit the registrations to 35 people.
For those new to our LAN or just found us, this will be our 7th Annual LAN party. Games to be played vary from year to year on what is popular, but generally involves FPS's, RTS's, and Racing/Flying Sims. Here is a wrap up of last years LAN party. We also made the front page in a local newspaper Page1& Page 8.
Exact start time and location will be forth coming "soon". For those who know that weekend works for them your of course welcome to register to reserve your spot at the LAN
Game On!

| Thu Mar 27th 2008 04:12 PM | Huh, my computer broke last night. If any electronic or mechanical device I owned broke as much as computers do, I'd have sworn of the brand/technology years go. I swear to god, I think people like Milkman pay off these companies to make sure they break repeatedly just for the added job security.
Bastard.
So, in between reinstalling everything I own and all the fun shit I tweaked that I won't remember how I tweaked all of a sudden that will happen in the next few nights, I had some time to read last night. You know, that thing we all did before we invested in carpal tunnel/chair-spine as the next big Prescription Drug gold-mine.
I tend to forget that I have a habit of spending way to fucking much time using a specific device until I get forcibly removed from it via engineered redundancies. I work on a computer, I go home and relax on a computer. Fuck sakes, I'm pretty much a six-foot-eight-inch computer accessory if I really think about it. So when I'm unplugged from my usual behavior, I get back into what we all did before Microsoft and Intel got a patent on our creativity.
I sat around imagining things. In my brain.
You know what? I've got a scary amount of ideas shoved into the wrinkles up there, ideas I need to start writing down and diving into. Really, I'm chock-full of them. Those George Romero films suddenly take on a new meaning once you detach from the machine. Instead of just rolling through months on auto-pilot, you realize, holy crap, technology is evolving way faster than I am. That's never good when you realize technology is determining your usefulness in your short existence.
Eh, I go on rants, you all know that. Three days from now, I'll have my computer working and be plugged back in like Neo and his bald-self. However, I figure that instead of getting mad the next time Sea-gate decides to make me use their extensive warranty, I should be a little happy that fate itself has lodged me away from just being a damn automaton. That little voice up in my head needs to get an audience once and a while and really, it's sad to know I put so much work into drowning it out.
In other news, MHOC 08 hit a snag regarding the location we were banking on but fear not, Milkman has skills in always having a backup. You know, it's sort of his thing. Delayed the announcement of a hard and fast date so just hold on a little more and you shall revel in data to add to your calendars.
As well, I plan on holding a little FPS workshop at this years MHOC for anyone that maybe isn't the most proficient First Person Shooter. I'm no expert and nor am I the force I was once to be reckoned with by any means but there's tales that echo through certain circles of a predatory feline that could dodge the moon if a man would throw it at him. If I can teach someone anything, it's how to make people like Genixx foam at the mouth as their precious rockets go lonely into the void. Look for more information on this workshop and the small prizes I plan to hand out to those that participate and excel.

| Fri Mar 21st 2008 04:04 PM | Yes, a year after i started on the quest of updating our forum software, i have finally got it done. That being said, im sure there will be kinks to work out yet. If you notice something wrong let me know!
Few side notes...
TENTATIVE LAN party date is June 21&22. So, if that really doesn't work for alot of you let me know ASAP. The date will be set in stone this week.
A few of us from MHOC are going to be at Starfest in Denver. If your going to be there, let us know so we can meet up.
Lastly, we have added a spot for a banner add on our front page. If your interested in putting something there, let me know and we will talk about it!

I suppose it's getting near that time now, where people start asking David (Milkman) when his Lan Party shall be. Faces full of hope, their eyes a-glitter of anticipation, hungrily holding onto their over-priced keyboards that accurately display in graphic-fashion what key you just stroked.
Well, to those, I say you shall have your answer soon. There's a general rule of LAN Party planning that states that those who are in the business of renting event space, for events, have no clever instruments to measure their locations ability to host a LAN Party other than time-honored inspection.
Gigawhatsits?
In other news, I've determined that if I ever want to be good at something, I need to continually do it so that I may garner an ability to do something well. You'd think that was obvious, but my guitar, library of drawing guides, unfinished novels, snowboard and website would argue on that point, I assure you.
