*COMPLETED* New Year's Eve LAN/Gaming Party

So I'm going out to the clubs for New Year's. Leaving Erik all alone at home to fend for himself. :p

So he plans to throw a LAN/Gaming party and seeing whom all shows up. Normally between 8-16 people show up. But we have room for more.

We have a massive switch so we should be able to get everyone networked. We also have many tvs and many games. In case your not a huge computer gamer I'm sure we can figure something out.

Bring - A chair if you have it, we have some but not a ton, your computer, Your own drinks (alcohol or none) and one pizza to share with others.

Please don't plan on getting trashed and breaking things. There are many guns in the house and you will probably be shot. We want people to have fun and enjoy though!

We also have 3 cats if you have allergies.

Questions, comments? I'll put more details if I get some.


Update -

So to add some more info for those who are coming.

Thursday night (New Years Eve) come around 7-8pm.
Address is 434 Bernard St E, West St Paul, MN 55118
We are right at the east end of Bernard, huge evergreens in the front yard. The outside light does not work but you'll see the Red Celica in the driveway. You can park in the drive or on either side of the street.

PM me if you would like's Erik's Phone number

Bring your computer. Bring your own drink (alcohol or non) and if you like a pizza to share. We normally cook pizzas at some point during the night to feed the hungry boys. Also, we have some folding chairs but not a ton, if you have some please bring. Also the only thing we tend to lack is ethernet cables. Bring some if you like, label what is yours

We have cats... if your allergic, take precautions. Don't break things in the house or you'll be shot :p I'm sure if you want to see guns Erik will gladly show them off.

We'll try to have multiple TVs setup for different games. We have most consoles under the sun, but not all are hooked up yet. what is hooked up or near a TV is...360 (1), ps3 (2), wii (2), snes (1), dreamcast (1), gamecube (1), n64 (1 and yes to Golden eye), ps2 (1)... there are more laying around if you want to hook something else up.

If someone wants to bring an extra 360 you could play Halo on 2 tvs... we have 1 copy of each Halo. But normally most people tend to veg on the computers.

Anything else?

Keep in mind... if you don't have the game... we can probably get you hooked up to play :)

Also we have lots of consoles and lots of TVs. You can bring what ever. If Halo is wanted we could probably hook up some TV's. But we only have one 360 and one copy of each of the halos. Bring more and we can do more! (we seriously have like 8ish tvs in the house)

Tom, you mentioned being interested. We would have one spare gaming rig if you want to come play.

Any other questions?

Again, LAN is on no matter who all shows up. We have other normal 'attendees' of our LAN's invited to. Not just MNmazda.

Goldeneye and Rockband are good and all, but some PC gaming will be FTW!

I'll have some older games like MOH:AA, Quake3, maybe Ut2k3 as well as MW2, CSS and Farcry2 ready to go for sure, maybe some others too.

We have a couple of N64 (including my Pikachu edition :D) and I'm guessing we have Bond games for it, but can find out. :D

Jon and Ivan :p I don't think Erik will complain :p But you'll laugh at the Rex and the Fiat, They are in a 'T' and neither one can move an inch as it is. But that side with the ball joint is free :D

I'll come home the next day and find you all camped out in the garage :p Would not surprise me. We have that garage heater to try out. Fix the Celica too while your at it... hehehe

I'M OFFENDED!
Welp, being as I live like.... 5 min from you people, I suppose it would be kind of a dick move if I didn't at least show. Worst case scenario, I can drop my 360 if people are determined to console it. I have a ps3 as well.... but seems people aren't too concerned with that.
