Maybe it will only be a few people, but we'll still have fun, and I
have a feeling that after this week is over, I'll really need the
entertainment as probably you will too. If anyone wants to pass this
announcement on to other lists, be my guest. Actually, I could use some
help with promotion of this, if someone could pass it along to the IU
computer gaming club that would help. Also, maybe setting up a page on
the BLUG wiki would be good.
So here is the plan:
Time: Saturday April 18th, 10am - midnight
Cost: Free (as in beer)
Location: 101 W. Kirkwood Avenue, Fountain Square Mall Suite 222
(Take the glass elevator to the 2nd floor and its right in
front of you). This is the offices of suso.com. Let me know
if you need better directions than this, but its right in
downtown Bloomington.
Refreshments: We'll supply some refreshments, but it would help if
some of you could bring a few of your own. We'll buy
some pizza around lunch.
What's going on:
All kinds of things. We don't just have to play games, this can be
a general hacking/tutoring/social occation. I imagine we'll play games
a lot, but also I'd like to do some stuff in Blender 3D and also some
coding. So if you are interested in doing something else, come along
and share. You don't even have to be a Linux user to attend.
As far as games go, there are so many open source games now its
hard to name all the good ones, Nexiuz is nice, and there are other
FPS games. Then there are many other games on http://www.happypenguin.org
that we can try out.
I'll also show off World of Warcraft running under Wine and a few
other commercial games.
What to bring:
I'd love it if you brought your own computer. Not only because it
will give more people chances to play, but also to show off how you use
your own desktop, etc. I'm going to setup a couple of tables and chairs
for setup, it would be great if you could bring your own chair because
we only have 6 usable ones here. Please let me know if you plan on bringing
anything.
We also have a Toshiba 46" LCD TV in our office to use so that
should be fun for displaying things.
Bringing your own headphones would be a good idea as well.
An extra 8 port ethernet switch and some extra power strips might
help if anyone wants to bring some. I already have plenty of ethernet
cables. ;-)
