Office LAN Gaming
 

So, it looks like the engineers here want to get their fucking asses handed to 'em by Zonah...

They approached me today and asked my opinion on what shooter we should start playing in the office.

My first reaction was the original Call of Duty, as our machines here aren't top of the line gervis gaming units.

Nyck suggested Quake III Arena.

What say you? Keep in mind that the comps are averaging 2.0GHz and 1GB RAM...no idea about video. I'm running WinXP through Parallels on a new iMac.

COD for sure, plus, thats what they play in The Office rock:

LOOL! You don't SNIPE on CARENTAN!

Go for COD, even though I haven't played the MP.

ID are eventually releasing Quake 3 Zero, which you can play in any web browser for free. So that may be good in the future when boredom strikes

my vote goes to unreal tournament

CoD for me :)

I said quake 3 because any piece of shit pc can run it, and its free now. no bullshit license hax or reg codes

we play it here in the office

Unreal Tournament is so old school but it is still cool. download so good map packs and the fun never stops. plus im sure any computer can play it with max settings.

Getting OpenGL errors with this piece of shit when trying to launch Quake 3. I'm running WinXP under Parallels on a newish iMac.

I can't figure out how to update the extremely generic "Parallels Video Driver". cuss:

quake 3 arena for sure

The error in particular seems to be: "Q_strncpyz: NULL src"

COD!

Zoner, remember when Himmler and I used to rock you and LLC? :) Those were the days. Which episode of The Office do they play COD in?

Zone, i vote COD if the machines can run it.

Back in the day at a place i worked at, we played HL via LAN. We never got shit done.....all we did was game. Someone noticed and had all the shit removed after a few months.....lol, good times !!

in season 2

Definitely man. You guys used to light me up like a xmas tree.

why not Moh:aa. I used to play it on my old 800mhz mac iBook and it ran fine.

Nah, its season 3... rock:

That was absolutely hilarious..I miss COD. Lately Ive been playing LOTRO, Age of Chivalry, and Insurgency.

COD dude

UT game of the year edition

MOHAirborne

Looks like it might be Quake 3, seeing as though it's free. We don't wanna run into legal problems here at the office.

Downloaded it at home last night and it's relatively fun. Mindless and dumb, and runs like a champ on max settings.

mohaa ftw

leisure suit larry

Quake 3 Arena for sure...Freeze Tag ftw.
if not go for UT

WAY funner than COD.

Wow no warcry of TRIBES FTW!!!!!!!!!!!! eek: oOo:

Tribes would be the best choice...but you need a shitload of people

and it is free as well.

ahh correct it was the 3rd eps of season 3...the break up of season 3 fucked with me

I only knew because I've watched the 2nd season straight through about 3 or 4 times now and have been trying to acquire a non-shit quality, non-streaming copy of the 3rd season since the first watch of the 2nd season.

There's a modern warfare mod for Return to Castle Wolfenstien Enemy Territory (both the game and the mod are free) that's fairly fun. Can't remember what the name of the mod is but it shouldn't be to hard to find. It runs well on lower end systems too, might be worth a try.
