I'm a self-proclaimed computer gaming nerd.

With that out of the way... are there any other's afflicted with this ailment?  I host the occasional nerdvana gaming events at my home - one of which coming up this month.  If you're interested in more details, send me a PM. 

I don't open the event up to strangers - so don't go looking for hobos on the street with a laptop under the arm and invite them over to my house.  The event consists mostly of folks from my job (and their kids who generally end up kicking our arses  :-\).

Oh, and to keep this Ducati related... We'll take a break during the gaming madness and go out into the garage and fire up the Duc's and have a "loudest exhaust" competition at some point during the day.

There's so many out there, it's difficult to find a single big title that everyone and their dog plays.  (think back to the days of Quake and CounterStrike). 

So, this one will be a real time strategy game called "Supreme Commander".  If any of you "old schoolers" recall a game called "Total Annihilation", this is the new and improved rendition.

Others we frequently play:
Starcraft, Warcraft III, (yes, oldies but goodies), BattleField 2, Battlefront 2 (Star Wars).

One many of us would like to play, if we could get enough folks to show up:  Team Fortress 2 (in my book, it's the square headlight of first person shooters)

sounding good to me...i don't have a way to get my rig over there currently though.  (and i haven't played WC3 for too long....i can't even think how long it's been since starcraft...i need to dust those off)

on a somewhat related note, if someone has a spare rig that needs some parts, i still have a dual core AMD cpu (3800+) with fan, ddr800 ram (corsair xms), and a BFG 7600GT vid card.  i have no use for it and don't have the motivation to bother with ebay or anything.

WC3 and CS were the games I played back in the day.  Oh and Diablo 1/2

I usually prefer the RTS games to FPS, but CS was a blast.

You probably won't be surprised but Sam has played all of the games mentioned - he's a ringer at Team Fortress... apparently  [roll]  In talking with him about it just now, he'd love to play anytime y'all decide to do this.  And what a great idea this time of year anyway; hang out inside and have fun in the AC, woo-hoo!

Supreme Commander is the game for this LAN party?  I'll have to scope it out and see if my laptop will handle it.  If not I maybe taking a work laptop home one night.

Rich, if you need a ride out there to tote your rig let me know

When is this going down btw?
