That's lame. Friends asked what people were doing over the three day weekend. I said immediately "gonna drive to Dallas and watch people play video games at a really high skill level."

And that's what I intend to do.

YOU CAN STILL MAKE FINALSSSSSS

15ish to start tf2. 16 I started keeping up with competitive. 17 I started playing it.

18 now.

I've got all of those to bring down save for Pokemon Stadium 2 if you'd want to borrow any/ play them or whatever. Not up for bringing down the n64 though, I don't have much packing space (I'm just bringing a backpack with clothes/ AV equipment.

So yeah, if anyone has an n64 that they're bringing and you need some games, tell me and I'll bring 'em down.

Would anyone that can hold a camera steady be willing to help out with something I'm going to be recording late Friday night? It won't take but a few minutes, and I'll pay you a lazer wepen.

guys i think lan got canceled.

on a more related note

Or even talk about getting into competitive during longer stalemates. "You can start for free in UGC, and then move up to CEVO or ESEA in NA, etc etc etc"

edit: they added the event

All this said, there better be some excellent casting, commentary, and camerawork. This lan will get a lot more attention than lans past. Tf2 outpost has doubled the size of some streams, and I don't think lan will be too different. I'm interested in what the viewership will be.

Also has anyone talked to John about the possibility of a front-page slot for finals? I can't imagine all that much going on in the gaming world on a Sunday morning, and mix^ v iT (assuming that's the finals matchup) very well could be an excellent first-glimpse of comp tf2 to twitch viewers.

Oh wow, I'm looking forward to this.

Along with shade's videos, a few other people are going to LAN that will record stuff (tagg comes to mind, and I've heard others talk about it). If you like player/ screen/ keyboard videos, I'll be posting HD player spotlight videos on my channel, along with some interviews if anyone will give me any.

This LAN will have the highest tf2 coverage to tf2 quality ratio of all time, and it probably won't ever be beaten. So yeah.

Skim milk because I was raised on it, and there's no need to change... I like it and it's healthy.

Maybe thats why I'm a wimp.

This is really cool. Go TF2Outpost!

I pugged it once, didn't have fun. I couldn't help but feel like I was in a dying pub.

I dunno, slin. I've never run into anything like what happened in that game. It's a matter of playing off advantages, and you guys had advantages a few times and you didn't capitalize. You and the other team played more passively than I've seen the average lan finalists play. I don't think this has anything to do with the game. I think any good shooter game will stalemate if both teams refuse to do anything... that should be a totally expected outcome of everyone in the server doing nothing.

I really hope this does well. I really don't like 4v4, but I've never seen actually good players play it. Looking forward to it.

Ask The Wounded Stapler about stuff with being new to the community. It could turn interesting.
