Re: Out with a whimper, not a bang

Figured now's the time to re-share some of my many saved memories from that server.

People swearing. (oldest one I've got on my YouTube, 2008)

Prime goes spy and spawn camps me

@BobbyDigi plays analog music from a legit record player via line-in directly to his mic port.

@primesuspect starts a legendary tradition when he puts MOM ON MIC.

Syamagoose looses it when I put my mouse sensitivity to high and spin like crazy.

@DontCallMeKelso puts Mom on Mic. Brian asks her a VERY important question.

I've got a bunch more that need to be edited, I've got clips that go back a decade saved on my PC.

Out with a whimper, not a bang

Today the TF2 server finally ran out of money and I cancelled the service.

The Icrontic TF2 server was up for over 10 years, entirely community funded, and responsible for some of the greatest gaming memories and friendships of my lifetime.

Thank you all for everything! No game has held on longer or had more of an impact on the Icrontic community than Team Fortress 2.

BATTLE FOR AZEROTH LAUNCH LAN PARTY - August 14th-16th, Detroit

It's here! The launch of World of Warcraft's seventh major expansion, BATTLE for AZEROTH has been announced.

It will be launching on August 14th, 2018, which is a Tuesday. Presumably (based on past releases) this means at 3am EST on Tuesday (very late-ass Monday night) we'll be able to log in and start the game. I have already requested time off and will be playing WoW from 3am Tuesday until I pass out. I don't go back to work until Friday morning.

Important note: This launch party will be the first that will NOT be held at ICHQ. It's going to be at my new house (I should probably name my house!) which is a couple miles away from ICHQ. Still very close and accessible to freeways, and we should have plenty of places for people to crash so nobody will need to get a hotel or whatever (and besides, why would you).

This event is much closer to a classic old-school LAN party. Junk food, late nights, pajamas, and pushing the limits of human endurance (falling asleep at your keyboard) like @TiberiusLazarus here at the Warlords of Draenor launch party back in 2014:

Bring your gaming laptop or desktop, we'll figure the rest out. See you in Azeroth! Post here if you're in!

I have a spare key for the Payday 2 Ultimate Edition on Steam/PC if someone would like it.

Re: Expo 2018: Request for Proposals / Volunteers

I have enough bits to run 5 concurrent games, 4 if we only use standard tile sets, but I think the randomness of the non-standard sets is part of the fun, personally. It's not srsbzns tourney, but I can try to make the specific sets a bit more balanced this year (I can make each of them MOSTLY standard sets, with just a few non-standard pieces thrown in each to top them off, so we still have five. Does that sound good?). But the games are not unfair or unbalanced as I usually do it, just can't rely on predictable piece frequency.

I understand and appreciate the BGA suggestion, but we can do a tourney on BGA any time, we can only all sit in a room and play Carcassonne with tiles and meeples once a year, so that's how I'm going to run it.
