Gamersfoort 1

When

  • From Friday October 7th 19:00
  • Until Sunday October 9th somewhere in the late afternoon

Where

  • Amersfoort, at Chris' place
  • Some people probably won't mind being taxi for the day
  • There was also some talk of a van being rented which would pass by both The Hague and Amsterdam; let us know if you would want to use this facility.

What

  • Lots of Team Fortress 2 (now Free, but don't forget to update)
  • Left 4 Dead and if enough people are interested, maybe Left 4 Dead 2 (so be prepared to buy & update)
  • StarCraft 2 (2v2 Tournament! We'll just play random mixed up teams and see who comes out on top!)
  • Dennis suggested League of Legends which is Free™

Why You Should Come

  • Because your computer is powerful enough:
    • Minimum requirements: 1.7Ghz CPU, 512Mb RAM, DirectX 8
    • Recommended system: Pentium 4 3.0Ghz, 1Gb RAM, DirectX 9
    • Windows 7, Windows Vista (b0rked), Windows XP, Windows 2000
    • A MacBook Pro or iMac is easily powerful enough; use Leopard's BootCamp to set it all up.
    • Or just come, and I'll help you set it up (I have a Windows 7 install DVD)
    • I've also gotten TF2 to work in VMWare and using Crossover Games (so on a Mac without BootCamp)
    • Team Fortress 2 is free nowadays
  • Because you don't need to be a Pro-Gamer to have fun in Team Fortress 2
    • Almost none of us will know the new maps and weapons; we haven't played in almost a year
    • It's a very simple game, and you'll learn very fast; it has an easy learning curve
    • We play in two teams anyway, and it's about the team winning, not about having the highest score
    • There are two classes who hardly ever have to actually hit anyone with a gun (Medic and Engineer)
    • There is one class that mostly sits and shoots; little movement (Sniper)
    • These is one class that only sneaks around and stabs people in the back (Dennis)
