Lan Haag 1

• From Friday August 27th 18:00
• Until Sunday August 29th somewhere in the evening or late afternoon

• Den Haag, at Dennis' place
• Some people probably won't mind being taxi for the day
• Directions by car: BUY A BLOODY TOMTOM
• Directions by public transport
  • 

• Left 4 Dead 1 (legally, so buy & update)
• Team Fortress 2 (legally, so buy & update)
• Maybe some Left 4 Dead 2 (legally, so buy & update)
• Possibly an RTS (SC2? C&C3? RA3?), maybe as a tournament on Friday night?
• Maybe some non-computer games to fight square-eye-syndrome

• Because your computer is powerful enough for at least Team Fortress 2:
  • Minimum requirements: 1.7Ghz CPU, 512Mb RAM, DirectX 8
  • Recommended system: Pentium 4 3.0Ghz, 1Gb RAM, DirectX 9
  • Windows 7 (free), 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 perhaps Steam for Mac will already be out
  • Or just come, and I'll help you set it up (I have a Windows 7 install DVD)
  • TF2 works natively on Mac, and L4D probably in VMWare or using Crossover Games (so on a Mac without BootCamp)
  • You can buy Team Fortress 2 for $20 or better yet The Orange Box for $30 online (at my place if you want)
• Because you don't need to be a Pro-Gamer to have fun in Team Fortress 2 or Left 4 Dead
  • Almost none of us will know the new TF2 maps and weapons; we haven't played since May (and don't know the Engineer update)
  • They are very simple games, 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 in TF2 who hardly ever have to actually hit anyone with a gun (Medic and Engineer)
  • There is one class in TF2 that mostly sits and shoots; little movement (Sniper)
  • These is one class in TF2 that only sneaks around and stabs people in the back (Dennis)

If you're on the list with smilies, but aren't sure if you're coming let me know! I'll be recruiting extra to fill the seats…
