I'm occasionally available for:

Counterstrike
JK2 - Jedi Outcast
Neverwinter Nights and SoU
iNsane (have to find it, man that game rocks on a LAN)
UT and UT2k3
Quake 3
Starcraft: Broodwar

I tried Planetside during the beta, it was pretty fun then, haven't played since (I never wanted to commit to paying monthly for a game).

SoU = Shadows of Undrentide, the first add on for Neverwinter. MOHAA is Medal of Honor: Allied Assault.

Great, it's fully updated. When I get my new Halo from Amazon.com (they're replacing it because I lost my old password, damn), I'll be sure to rush out and die at everyone's hands.

Well, I'm off for an hour or so of Capture the Flag, followed by some slight treachery, with a side of newbie slaughter.

Okay, that was several hours of CTF, with a side of having my ass handed to me, without the treachery.
But I did play with someone named EnDer, or some form of Ender with random capitalization.

I'll play, assuming I am online when you are. Just tell me what server you'll be on.

Speaking of Halo...

Sitting at home with a cold sucks. Is anyone up for any online games?

IM jester7918 (AIM) or hop into hatrack chat and let's get some games started!

So Lalo is a Halo pro? [Wink]

How do you play online? I'm too cheap to play Xbox Live if you're talking about the xbox version. I use Xbox Connect. It's free. [Big Grin]

I play on the PC, and to be honest, I'm looking for someone to play -- though this weekend may be a bad time. And I think I have next weekend booked...

Well, if it's possible, is anyone up to a CTF fight next Sunday? Somewhere between mid-day and midnight?

And heh, god no, I'm no Halo pro. I usually play in Blood Gulch or Danger Canyon, and beyond sniping, my killing's usually largely accidental. Still, I think I can put up a good fight if it comes to it.

Our family is so totally addicted to Everquest we had to buy a second computer so we could group to play together. This game has stayed interesting for more than 4 years. It costs every month, but it's probably the cheapest habit any of us has.

I can try to connect to you. What's your IP?

I hate 1 on 1, let's join a game with other people or something.
Or I could play for a little while and then switch to a team game, whatever you want.

My husband and me playing HALO:

Me: "I got one! I got one!"
Him: "That was a Marine. Didn't you hear them swearing at you?"
Me: "Oh.....ooo! I got another one!"
Him: "Dammit! Now you're shooting me!"

Ok, done, lurking again now. [Smile]

That sounds somewhat similar to the last time that lusti played rise of nations with me (except I was doing it on purpose).

Do you have the PC version or Xbox? Please say PC, we really need more people to blow up.

Damn, the reinstall didn't fix anything. Time for a reboot.

If I can get it working right, I'll try to get more people in the chatroom to play.

We have the Xbox version, sorry. I apologize for denying you the chance of blowing me up. [Taunt]

If I asked my Dear Husband real nice, we might get the PC version; we have friends in Sweden and stuff who have that version and want to play.

How does the chatting for that work? We have Roger Wilco. Is that all one needs?

Have any Hatrackers actually played with/against each other?
Why aren't more people posting in this thread?
I know I'm not the only one without a life, you people need to get in here so we may kill each other with glee.

Just curious, does anyone play Neverwinter Nights online? I haven't been home to play so I can try it, and am wondering how it plays, or if any Jatraqueros have a server of their own.

I can fire up a server with a few minutes' notice if needed.

What I'm hoping for is that some people might want to try my modded mod for Rise of Nations (I altered the Uber Resources Mod).

Here's what it's got now:

-elite merchant
pack 50% faster
deploy 25% faster
move 33% faster
+1 to los
create 25% faster
33% more hp
groovy colors [Wink]

-larger population (up to 900 people!!)
-non-combat units don't count towards your population limit (cause you don't want your scholars screwing up your war [Wink] )
-Colossus wonder adds 150 people to your population.

-changes to nubian nation powers and wonders
nubian merchant hitpoints, rare bonuses, and merchant cost nerfed by half
porcelain tower rare income also reduced by half

-rare resource bonus increases
relics from 33% to 60% research speed
wine from 20% to 50% unit upgrade cost
papyrus, dye, furs, and silk from 25% to 50% library research cost
spice from 20% to 50% caravan income
salt, horses, and rubber from 15% to 30% unit cost
sulphur from 20% to 40% siege unit cost
amber from 10 to 40 market price offset
silver from 15% to 33% age cost
tobacco from 10% to 25% building speed
marble from 10% to 25% wonder cost
cotton from 25% to 40% unit creation speed
bison from 33% to 50% granary upgrade cost
copper from 20% to 33% unit hp
peacocks from 10% to 25% population cap (don't need colossus anymore [Razz] )
sugar from 10% to 25% reduced food cost
coal from 25% to 33% reduced timber cost
diamonds from 10% to 25% commerce cap
gems from 2 to 6 territory bonus
aluminum from 15% to 33% air cost and 25% to 40% air speed
whales from 20% to 33% ship speed
obsidian from 1 to 2 archer, fort, town, etc. attack
wool from 15% to 50% citizen cost and 33% to 50% creation speed
uranium from 5% to 25% nuke cost reduction and 10% to 33% nuke speed
titanium from 50% to 75% reduced attrition damage

-resource availability
rare resource availability spread out between the ages to prevent huge rare war at the beginning of a game
oil and oil wells available in enlightenment age to prevent sudden onset of oil in upgrade costs, refineries still require industrial age

-rare resource bonus resources
most rares have increased production by 200%
some have changed bonus resource type

I know, but I am stuck on dialup, which is why I'll have to have my friend download it. I actually have the mod version, but I don't have half life, so I need the stand alone version of it.

I'd be up for Soldat. I kind of got sick of the prevalent idiocy of GunBounders, but if enough other people want to play, I'd be up for that too.
