LAN 29 DAY ONE: Written at the LAN

Despite an awful cold/flu/plague I have drugged myself up and forced myself to this LAN. I mean come on, there was no way in hell I was going to miss this!

This morning's arrival was not as hectic as it usually is! I was a little early and it was quite strange to see the place almost empty. Delivered my cake to the admins as well as some special cupcakes I made for them. They were pleased. So the gaming started off with an eventful Gungame. Server got packed fast as it's a favourite here! As gungame went on, the place filled up with faces I knew and faces I didn't. Then in the afternoon the tournament rules were announced. Instead of a large prize and a lot of small ones, the winners are all getting Ł20 to spend on Steam, pretty nifty.

The Tournament Rules (The battle for Indie-Pendance)

A fight for territory. USA against the British. Half of the room are the British, the other half the USA. The generals have been picked via an anonymous ballat.
USA General = Scruff
British General = Rapid
My Team, USA.
To Start each Country owns one home territory

Round 1: 1066

Everyone takes part, each American faces a Brit. The country with the most game's won, wins a territory of their choice (on the tourny map). I guarantee that every bugger that won a game, won it by standing still and taunting until the enemy's morale deceased. It rightly earned the nickname Taunt66 amongst the crowd!

Results: USA 9 vs British 7 (1 Territory)

Round 2: Left 4 dead Survival Mode

Four Teams of four people play survival L4D on Lighthouse level. The country with the highest combined time wins two territories of their choice. Plus one bonus territory given to the country with the team that had the highest time altogether. W00T, I was chosen for the elite team. However even though we were all elite, we found it a little hard to work together. Anyway we tried our hardest. Let's hope it paid off.

USA 14:29 vs British 15:53 (2 Territories Britain)
Bonus Territory - USA (5:05) I <3 My team

Took a nice well deserved break and had some lovely burgers from the bbq. Yum yum! Santa and Mao proving experts in the kitchen once again.

Round 3: Super Evil Quiz

General knowledge, more like Obscure fucking knowledge! One video shown on the screen on the stage with video, music and a question every few seconds. Points awarded for Title, Director/Artist, Year or answer. 1 territory for the winner of each category (Movie/Song/Question). That game was ridiculous. So obscure it was just...wow.
Anyway the scores.

USA: Movie 0 Song 0 Question 0
Britain: Movie 1 Song 1 Question 1

Well shit!!!! Three Territories Britain!

Bonus Battle A game of giant jenga between the country generals Scruff and Rapid. Winner gets to take over an enemy territory and it's the last game of the night. Tense as anything ever could be. Scruff crumbles under the pressure just like his tower did.

Winner - General Rapid for Britain

LAN 29: DAY TWO

Morning!
I just got up around 7:30am and started the day off with some COD4. Not my best game in the world but hey I was full of the flu and just got up. First game of the day is Pangya. I am not a huge fan of this ‘game’ but at a LAN with a bunch of friends it can actually become rather addictive and fun. There is almost as much swearing as when we play CS:S! We'll be doing a Pangya cup and the winner... well I have no idea what they'll win (Pride - Ed).

While waiting for some late arrivals (lazy buggers) we have been watching some great youtube vids on the big screen on the stage. Including some of the following:
Star Wars A Cappella
Total Eclipse of the Heart Literal Version
Heavy Sells Kaboom

Most people enjoyed the cup. I was... until I went from -1 to 4 over. I think I will leave it to the pros! This game is just too girly for me!

The winrar - THE LEGENDARY MONKEY! A few called bullshit but the bugger fought for it. Spade had the top score for most of the game with Rapid not far behind but then Monkey charged through to the end to collect his trophy.

Time for some relaxing COD4. Quite a lot of us got together and played a few rounds of Sabotage and it was hectic. All great players and a lot of ninja-ing knife wounds and sneaky sniping. I only stuck around for one round of Team Deathmatch only because I had been playing TD's all day and wasn't really in the mood for another. My own fault.
While we were playing there was the final of the DOW2 tournament going on. I heard down the grapevine that Octochicken won! Good going! The final took over an hour to play and it was a tough match against Stu. Also congrats to Pigeon who organised the whole tournament.

Next thing along according to the schedule is the Final Battle in the INDIE-PENDANCE TOURNAMENT! Can't wait to see what the territory's are all about. eFragz have always been great at keeping everyone guessing!

The Final Battle, BATTLE GROUNDS 2, A Half-Life 2 Mod

That was amazing! First to 2000 points wins, however since Britain had the majority of the territory they only had to get 1400 points. The map had four flags to capture however we were not allowed to touch each others home bases because it would screw up the points. I don't know if you have ever played Battle Grounds but I can easily tell you it is flipping horrible!!! It's slow and the weapons suck. However when Ł20 in steam is on the table, it becomes life or death.
It was a brutal battle, and lasted for many years. Both the Valley Pass and the Munition Wagon were fought hard for and many laid there lives down to win. It started in the favour of the USA but Britain just kept catching up. It started getting closer and closer. The voice chat full of tension and anguish. Many battle cries and blood shed later and USA WAS VICTORIOUS!!
YYYYYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

THIS IS WHY I LOVE GAMING GODDAMNIT!
