Wait for Nehalem?
I will be able to afford a new computer, within about two weeks. My primary use for it will be to play a variety of current and upcoming games, like Crysis, Guild Wars 2, and Sims 3. I'll probably overclock, on air-cooling, but only once I find that games are not performing as smoothly as I would ...

Pittsburgh Descent/Halo LAN CANCELLED
Pittsburgh Descent/Halo LAN (June 4 & 5, 2005) is CANCELLED [/b] Despite efforts to find a date that was best for every one, and regardless of the money-back guarantee, there just weren't enough people who were able and willing to attend the event. If I find that more people are willing to register ...

I was kinda kidding about it. Although, it's not really a private event...wouldn't the hotel be the one to decide what I can bring there? I'm no attorney, I really have no idea. But I think you're onto something with the shirt and shoes thing. There should be an amendment saying "Shirt and shoes ...

I'm not looking to debate politics, or other such issues. The fact is that your rights are restricted, with or without good reason, on a regular basis. Why do you have to wear a shirt and shoes, in order to get service at a convenience store? Why do some restaurants require a coat and tie? Why can't ...

It's not looking good for this event to happen. There are less than three weeks left, and I still need ten more people to sign-up. I can pull in a few local friends to fill up some of the remaining spaces, after that. I'm leaving them off of the list, though, because they're not hardcore Descent ...

There are several (approximately seven) people who are sitting on the fence about attending this event. Right now, there are only five players on the sign-up list. So, I'm wracking my brain, trying to think of ways to make this thing a success. I have only three more ideas. First, you have nothing ...

I would -have- to rent a computer ... I'm really fussy about computers, though. No fun to play Descent if the rig isn't adequate. My pilot wouldn't be on it. My last stick is too flaky and I probably don't want to get another just for one weekend. My levels and mods and stuff wouldn't be there, nor ...

It seems like there is some interest, here and among my friends in the Pittsburgh area, in Halo. It's a combination that makes some sense.

It seems like there are still a fair number of active Descent players, and some of them might be able to attend a LAN in Pittsburgh.
