We successfully made it to the LAN in formal attire, and had an absolute BLAST. James stayed for the night and owned until the sun rose again, while Matthew had other committments to make.

Photos:

Here we see James early in the LAN

Here we are in our formal suits... That smile on James' face is due to him owning everyone :/

Intensely gaming, camera timer ftw.

LAN in progress

I write this post through a mixed haze of sleep deprivation and caffeine-induced twitchiness, at 1:30AM on satur- err, sunday the 23nd, at what will possibly be the last GateWayLAN I attend, thanks to the chief organiser moving on. On my left, I have two empty bottles of raspberry V. On my right, I have my razer diamondback gaming mouse (shut up, i used to have a copperhead but it broke). And at the front, behind my keyboard, I have a half-eaten box of arnott’s “cheds”. And whats more, I am still wearing my waistcoat and tie, and wearing them well I might add. I have just gotten “yakety sax” off youtube and into MP3 (and subsequently windows media player) using Audacity, set my audio input to “stereo mix”, and gleefully typed “+voicerecord” into counter-strike:source’s console window. Somehow playing such a boring game is made 100 times more enjoyable than anybody could ever expect simply by knowing that everybody on your team is participating in your own world of saxophone-induced madness. I just thoroughly lost to my arch-nemesis, Stoodley, in a game of counter strike, but then won back my self-esteem by running 42 kills to 8 deaths in a game of team fortress 2 directly thereafter. I still haven’t managed to convince the other participants to play a game of FEAR combat, and my empty drink collection of 2 V bottles is feeling intimidated by the 5-pepsis and 3-solos collection on my right, and the 1-ice-break, 2-V-cans, 2-pepsis, 2-solos and 1-energy-drink-that-is-unidentifiable-from-this-distance-at-1:30-in-the-morning collection on my left. In comparison, my consumption is humble. I have a third bottle of V to come, as well as seven hours of gaming. 
I better get cracking.

LAN in Formal Attire, Anyone?

Hi all,

That’s right, it’s happening!

We’ve been planning to go to a LAN party in full formal attire for a while, and while it’s like paying $300 to go to the LAN, it’s worth every little bit.

And now, on the 22nd of November, we are going to be going to a LAN party in full formal attire. Photos will be being taken and I’ll post them up here when we return.

For reference, this is inspired by this XKCD comic:

 

But... we can do BOTH!

But... we can do BOTH!

We’re definitely going to have fun!

If you’re online around 11 AM AEST to around 10 PM AEST (both GMT + 10 hours) on the 22nd, either join #wikiforall on irc.freenode.net, or find “Shadyjames” or “pcmattman” online in TF2, Half-Life 2 Deathmatch, or some other random game and join the fun.

We’d love to hear from you, or even take you on online, on the day!

– Matthew

Well, well, well…

Well, well, well… what do we have here then? A blog…

I never thought I’d see the day. From two students with a little bit of spare time, a server, and a sense of humour running a wiki, we’ve grown to… well, pretty much the same thing. The only thing thats different is now we’re running a blog as well as a wiki, “a little bit of spare time” has turned into “we’re rich, young, and unemployed” (minus rich), and our server, while not having changed per se, has however been re-diagnosed as a pile of crap and latency. As I write this Matthew’s little brother is playing Need For Speed on the webserver, which is a barrel of laughs for everybody who’s trying to request image files from the comics section. 

We decided to set up this blog simply because it gives us a level of accessibility with our readers (ie. nobody) which can only be reached through news posts and updates on our activities! Because while it’s all well and good to be working on a website behind the scenes, nobody’s going to find your new content unless you have a great big song and dance about it in the news section.

Coincidentally, have you seen our new comic management system, complete with five new comics?

I’m not going to post a link to it here simply because the state of this server is changing so much lately the link could be a abseiling harness by the time anybody reads this post, but I’m sure you know where to find the comics. Or at least, I hope you do. Because I sure don’t!
