as has always been the case with our lans i work saturdays til 5. the earliest i can show up for a lan is 6pm IF i don't have other plans. i'm not much of a gamer. i haven't played a single game of anything in several months. i enjoy the heated instagib ctf games when i do make it to lans, but for the most part i am bored of games completely. they never hold my interest. i don't like tournaments, except to watch. i only game for fun not for competition.

if i didn't have to work every single saturday without ANY chance of getting off i would probably come more often, even if i still felt the same way about gaming.

DUDE! I'll Friggin pay your way!!! Seriously. PMing you some details, in case you need a ride or something similar to that. Pack your stuff. You're gaming! And I refuse to allow you to pay me back!!!

Dont you just hate it when you find something cool to do (lanparty) after you move away like 154 miles/2:10 minutes from where its at? Confused . Maby when I graduate and go to a college down there I can have some fun.

Choosing weekends when there is a home OU football game probably doesn't help.

But for me, I identify with what "Maxvla" said in that I'm just bored with first person shooters right now.

yeah.. i'll be at the kansas game saturday so i won't be able to come to the lan even if i wanted to.

and its not just FPS games, i'm bored with any type of game at the moment. might be fun to grab an xbox and get a college football game though.

The ELG sign-up is down too with only 21 players signed up. Boy I miss the days of getting together and playing with a group of my friends. The OLP and OKGG used to have 40-50 players most months, now with two major groups we can't even get over 30!!!! It takes 50 just to pay the bills.

If sign-up does not increase over the next months we may see the end of LAN parties in the OKC area. Let's not let that happen...sign up, bring a friend. Let's get back together for some good times.


hey maybe some of us cant sign up because we are vacationing in canada/europe

Just for the record, LC could never replace Despite.

Don't start. If nothing else LC deserved it for the simple fact of being enough of an ass to start a thread about a private message he got from a staff member.
