Weekend of Gaming at HQ · May 16, 2:05pm

This weekend was very unproductive, but that’s not such a bad thing. Marco and Deon joined us for almost 14 hours of lan goodness. We played a bit of Unreal 2k4 before moving on to a mod called AlienSwarm. Jeebus Christ it’s a cool twist on the engine.

First of all – the camera is top down, rather odd for a fps and secondly is unbelievably difficult. In all the hours we played we beat maybe 5 levels. Almost 4hrs a piece of trial and error – yet we kept on playing. Mostly because we played to keep everyone alive after we lost Jeff in the first round and saw how much it hurt us in the end. Strongly suggest checking it out – even the single player looked like a bunch of fun.

To keep us going members of HQ went out and got a huge selection of bottled root beer, cream soda, sassparilla, orange and bottled pepsi. Oh and not to forget bawls. Dinner and a movie featured Apple Seed and pizza – although the latter was much more amusing imho.

All in all a good break from the steady work getting ready to grad. Thanks to Marco and Deon coming – can’t wait till next time.
