Re: [BLUG] Linux LanParty/Linux Fest

I'm in. The 18th (or earlier) would work best for me. I have both a
laptop and a desktop I could bring,

What games do you have in mind? I can suggest a few:

Nexuiz (think Unreal Tournament, but faster)
Cube
Frozen Bubble (network play)
BZFlag
Various games that work under WINE (Unreal, StarCraft...)

Any others?
