Black ops
BF2BC
Cod 5 waw
Cod 4 mw
Mw2

Many members of the clan post here including one of the mods who hosted a lan at his house on a 20 meg modem with NO problems. Most members of the clan are on VM connections and i am sure they will tell you THEY have NO problems ether with the games i mention.

I am not saying that SOME on here are not having problems but there are those on here who claim EVERYONE will have the problems with gaming and i feel that is wrong.


To quote our news from the last lan found HERE

NTHellWorld have held another LAN Party. This time we ventured way up north (the softie southerners were rather shocked to find there is life beyond Watford Gap Services). 13 of us squeezed a quart into a pint pot and with some unfounded trepidation invaded Scary’s house.

This party was hot! So hot that the fire brigade came knocking on the door. Well actually a fire had started in a very nearby industrial estate.

Our networking skills are getting better and better. With 5 gigabit switches and a load of cat 5 cables brought by MovedGoalPosts some terabits of data have been shifted between us. And this had no effect on the online gaming using the Virgin Media 50meg connection with special tweaks from our VM gurus Bill C and Stu038. Call of Duty Black Ops and Call of Duty 4 were our gaming preferences, along with an incredibly close fought late evening Battlefield Bad Company 2 match.
But LANs are not just about gaming. A challenge developed amongst some to find the weirdest stuff on the internet. Don’t ask Dilli about the flying cow . Mr Flippy was also quite worrying . Favourite phrase is “I kill you” in a very weird high pitched accent, courtesy of Achmed the Dead Terrorist

Special mention has to go to the local Chinese Takeway who had to be forewarned that a big order would be coming there way. £150 lighter, spread over both nights, our bellies were comfortably filled. All was washed down by a very nice Irish Whiskey specially provided by the absent Klinsman , Gottu’s Islay Malt was very nice too. We know the recycling collections will be busy next week with all the empty drink cans and bottles .

We must be getting older (although probably not wiser). Our stamina was low and by 2:30 am we were crashing out. It was a shame the peace was so easily destroyed by complaints of Ramrod’s snoring. The second night saw a revision to the sleeping arrangements only to find the person who made the biggest complaints now became the biggest nuisance . Meanwhile Ste found himself rather unpopular when on returning after a night on the town somewhere at silly o’clock in the morning, he turned on all the lights and woke up all those slumbering sprawled out on the floor .

Thanks must go to Scary’s suffering partner, AJ for allowing us to invade for the weekend.

So here is looking forward to our next LAN party.

The tweaks were just ensuring that the switches were balanced with the amount of users before you think we did anything special to adjust the hub

So before people automatically say that all will have a problem please put brain in gear before opening mouth and placing foot in it and remember not ALL will have a problem.
