i37 Multiplay Gaming LAN

Also, in addition to the event plan above, which details the layout inside the 2 halls, I found this user created map on google maps that identifies where the hell everything is on-site:

In terms of the campers, which site we going on? Is the quiet one actually quieter?

 

[thatbloke]

We (you lot) should go in the quiet campsite - I don't expect that you will want to go in the main camping area as there are plenty of fucktards that like to make noise just for the hell of it.

Even though you will be in the quiet campsite, which is (mostly) quieter, and I cannot stress this enough, BUY EARPLUGS. They are 50p from the OMMNOMNOM shop in the hall. They will make a LOT of difference.

In the past we have tended to camp in the bottom right corner of the green area that the icon for the Quiet Camping area is on.

..... the Bar has been moved into a corner of Strollers and the area where the bar used to be is now the XBox/TUP area.

Xbox/TUP area?

Also is anyone bringing their consoles?

 

[thatbloke]

TUP = Turn Up and Play - a limited number of seats that have a PC provided for people if you can't take your own or whatever.

The Xboxes would appear to be in that area too, they will be for things like the Halo 3 and FIFA 09 tournaments.

you can take your consoles with you but remember you are only allowed one monitor and NO SPEAKERS and you shouldn't have your xbox or whatever plugged in and on at the same time as your PC due to power reasons.

 

[Solemn]

Hmm... i would bring my PS3 if i could, but my monitor doesn't support a shinny HDMI connection =(

Mine does 720p

 

[Solemn]

mine does 720p

gief!

 

[Iron_fist]

i have one of these http://www.ebuyer.com/product/130513 for connecting my camera to my pc monitor (yeah it has HDMI out ) so if your monitor can do 720p it may be worth looking at one

 

[thatbloke]

My monitor already has a HDMI input too

It has 1xVGA, 1xDVI and 1xHDMI no sound but that can also be sorted if required

More news updates:

The stage schedule has been released

And 3 updates from this morning already:

Multiplay will be having their own booth in the exhibition hall

Some details about the bar and the food available have been released

And MOST INTERESTINGLY:

i-Series attendees are to get early beta access to the upcoming game Section 8 - It had been announced already that Southpeak Games would be at i37 with Section 8, now we will have early access to the beta for this game which is due out later this year Certaily looks like it would be worth a try...

 

[Nanor]

Erm, by the by, can anyone sort me out with a monitor?

 

[SgtFury]

I would say yes but I'm deliberately bringing only my smaller 17" one. Sorry.

 

[Ronin Storm]

Not without gutting Rojaws' entertainment for the weekend. Sorry.

 

[Traxata]

I've discussed this with nanor on MSN, I'll be bringing an entire PC because it looks like he won't have his ready for the LAN

 

[SgtFury]

Saves on the air fare i suppose All you need now Nanor is tell Trax what you want installed .

 

[Nanor]

I think I'll be playing Steam Games mostly and, as far as I'm aware, Multiplay have a steam server there so games download uber fast.

 

[Haven]

Steam runs fine off a USB hard drive. In-case nanums wants to bring one with all his crap pre-copied.

 

[Nanor]

GUESS WHO'S PC IS WORKING!

(Mine)

 

[BiG D]

I'll give 3 to 1 odds he manages to break it again by or during i37. Takers?
