Hey guys, Duder here.
Figured you'd be interested, just saw this pop up:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824236313
144Hz. Asus VG248QE (g-sync compatible) for $243 with promo MNTMEMORIAL11 through 5/26.
Also on Amazon, Prime eligible: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00B2HH7G0?t=slicinc-20&ascsubtag=fe1beb2fab9841debd465b418173efe3
I should be able to head up for a while at least. Barring and work stuff I'll be there.
Anybody know how the parking situation is down there?
You guys tap the keg, I'll pump.
This whole thing was awesome. I have such warm fuzzies inside from everything. It was a really bad weekend for me (one of our co-workers and my close friends passed away) so having this to tune into and see the amount we raised definitely balanced things out a bit.
I'd really like to help out a lot more next time around, if you guys end up needing another host or caster or whatever, please don't hesitate to ask. I figure I owe ya'll now after winning like 800 hats or whatever... I'm going to feel like that guy in the meme who's trying to hold all those limes... but with hats.
drshdwpuppetThose photos are half resolution, if anyone wants the full version of specific photos, let me know, but be aware they don't necessarily look any better because the low light made me shoot at a really high iso so there is hella artifacting.
They look fine dude. So many new Facebook profile pictures from this set haha
Holy shit I look so hung over. And fat. BRB eating a salad and going running.
Dude my memory is a little fuzzy, but I can't wait to see shdw's pictures. I'm going to look so fucking blasted.
I'm glad everybody had a blast. I'm really proud of what we were able to produce for the community and everyone who was on-site. It was totally worth losing my voice and probably getting a nasty cold from the plane rides home. I'm also pretty happy my drunk ass didn't get us kicked out of the hotel restaurant on Friday. Note to self: do NOT drink an entire bottle of knock off Jack followed up by 2 pitchers of beer the night before a major cast.
hanbrolomaybe you guys could play prophunt wasted
Are you insinuating that we'll be intoxicated at some point? We're all mature adults, I can assure you we'll be of the bestest of behavior throughout the entire event.
That's a shame dis. I'm hopefully getting my LAN box shipped out to eFFl in the next few days here... coming down to the wire.
disengageTagg and I aren't going anymore :(
Boo... something come up?
thrasherthis fites will be my 15th LAN. A lot of the people going I've seen at LANs before, but there are quite a few people on the list I don't remember seeing before. I figured I'd put together this little post with some helpful tips for any first timers, or anyone else who wants to make their LAN experience a little easier.
transporting your PC (vehicle)
- flying with your PC is not recommended. It can be done, but it's a pain in the ass. There is also a good chance of damage to your hardware. The TSA will also give you a hard time about it.
- bus/train is ok, just make sure you keep your stuff with you and not in the luggage area. Theft and/or damage are almost guaranteed if you do that.
- car is the best way to go. If you don't have a car full of people the best way to load the PC in the car is to stand it up on the floor behind the passenger seat, and slide the seat back enough that it's firmly held in place by the passenger seat and the back seat. If you have other people riding with you, the trunk is ok just make sure you pack it so that nothing rolls around.
transporting your PC (on foot)
- the trip from the parking lot to the LAN room at fites isn't that bad, but with a big heavy case it can be a pain. Some cases, like the CM Storm Scout, have built in handles which are great for carrying it around. If your case doesn't have a handle, you might want to check this out.

I have one for my tower and it was well worth it.
- transporting your LCD monitor is easy if you kept the original box and all it's packing material. If you still have that, simple repack it and transport it that way. It'll be perfectly safe. If you don't have the box, you can get something like this.

- a cheap $20 piece of luggage from Walmart packed with pillows also makes for decent monitor transportation. You can also lay it screen up on a seat in the car but considering how fragile and expensive they can be I wouldn't suggest it.
security
- remember to set a windows password, and lock it when you go AFK
- if you are playing on a laptop, get one of these (currently on sale).
http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00000K4KH
- that lock can also be used to secure an LCD monitor (they have the same type of slot on the back). If you thread the lock through a hole on your case, wrap it around a table leg, and lock it into the back of your monitor you can lock everything down. For a PC it's probably overkill, but it's essential for laptops.
- if you have any expensive peripherals, make sure to take them with you if you are going afk for any decent length of time (food/sleep/etc)
I hope these tips will come in handy for someone. See you at the LAN.
I don't think FITES has ever had an issue with theft, FYI. The whole event is access controlled so if your stuff does get stolen you've pretty much automatically got the 250 suspects... but yeah, good to err on the side of caution, however you shouldn't have to worry.
Thanks a ton for all the support for the cast, I'm really proud of the product we put out tonight. It was my pleasure and real honor to lend my voice to that cast. I wish I had been a little more in tune with the intricacies that are 6's these days, but I promise I'll work on it. Big things coming, guys, and I'm really excited to be a part of it!
cosmophilicduderAndKennethWhatever happened to "no ESEA because they suck" -Extine, a couple of months ago?
Because this is what's best for business.
