Re: [BLUG] Gaming session tonight will be BZFlag

Thanks for stopping by. It turns out that I will be able to play. I
thought I wouldn't at first, but some RHN downtime caused me to postpone
what I was doing until tommorow.

Re: [BLUG] Gaming session tonight will be BZFlag

I stopped by but it's just as well that you guys weren't around since
my tank might have looked a bit dorky. I got a warning: Your lag is
too high (1125 ms). I've never used this computer for gaming before and
don't have any experience setting up video so it's optimized. I don't
think it's a hardware problem (128 MB ATI Mobility Radeon X1400, 1.8
GHz dual core). I'm using vesa so maybe I need to install the
proprietary driver fglrx instead? Or could the lag be caused by
something else (besides the internet connection which is fine)?

As stated in the wiki though, installation was a breeze. Without
exaggeration it took about ten seconds.

[BLUG] Gaming session tonight will be BZFlag

I couldn't get Armagetron's dedicated server to work, so we're going
to play BZFlag tonight instead. Instructions are here:

http://www.bloomingtonlinux.org/wiki/BZFlag_instructions

I've also adjusted the schedule on the gaming page to have more open
source games over the next couple months. Here is the new schedule:

June 16th - BZFlag
June 23rd - UT2004*
June 30th - BZFlag
July 7th - World of Padman
July 14th - Neverwinter Nights*
July 21st - World of Padman
July 28th - Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory
