Chris, a good friend a co-worker... aka the other half of Killer
Buddha, put together the largest and classiest LAN party I have
ever been to in celebration of Halo 2's release. About 20 dudes
came to the party to play, and a bunch of others came to watch...
and we had a blast being yuppy geeks and shooting each other until
3 in the morning. One large screen HDTV, a projection room, and
8 individual gaming stations blew everyone's expectations away.
Amazing food, ample drinks, and shots... you couldn't help and
but be content.
We don't want to even have another party because this last one
was so much fun. He set the bar very high.
Custom fit entertainment system and TV set
up... very slick indeed.
Room 2, four people scattered with individual
sets. Everyone here brought their own TV I think...
Stag Beer, or Matt C., the man... the legend.
One of the best players all around.
Matt R., aka Cold Brain, came in with his
wife all the way from Indiana... it's always good to see him...
For most of the night, I played next toDave,
Brandon, Ricky, and Scott on the flat screen wall... Brandon sat
in my spot while Dave messed him up big time with a rocket launcher.
Ah, the hipster room with the projection screen. Tony B. brought
that in...
ABOVE: One of my favorite photos... I love
the glow from the TV on the back wall...
Ricky and his game face.
Dave and his game finger...
The Master Chief Shot, or the Halo Shot: Tasted really good...
but after a lot of shots, it was downhill for you. It was a whole
bottle-to-bottle ratio... like a punch of death (not from the
battle rifle): 1 Gin, 1 Midori, 1 Five-Alive (fruit juice), 1
Blue Curacao. Enjoy and watch it glow!
The orange XBox was a custom job we did
as a client gift... never was sent. The orange is actually the
Zip brand Orange... and was painted at some auto body shop in
Alton.
Chris was quite organized on all the donated
Xbox's that came in that night. Color coding and all that shizzle...
Eventually, everyone had to go home...
But, what's one more game of...
Star Wars: Battlefront. Matt and Matt go head to head...
...I don't remember why he moved over. Maybe to invoke shoving
and punching in between kills.
The madness never ends. It really doesn't...
and the Empire always wins. Or they should because they have more
guns. Stag Beer, aka Matt C., has said it to me many times in
many ways, "Why couldn't you play last night on Xbox Live?
Where you out with a girl? What's the point? You're eventually
going to fall in love, marry the girl and play videogames anyway,
so why put off the inevitable?"
I don't know. I just do. And one day, I'll
meet a sane girl that likes videogames... or at least won't make
fun of me.
Favorite novelty of the night was the Cock
Mirror. Julie, Chris' loving and wonderful wife, got creative
with the mirrors above the toilet. Funny thing is, when you go
to take a piss, you can see your penis in the mirror... perfectly.
You can't help but laugh... and everyone loved the Cock Mirror.
I'm going to set up a set of mirrors like that in my bathroom.
