EAST COAST FREAKS PARTY

I think we would need 2 TV's and a link cable.

8 players....isn't that 4 TV's

Ahhh.... I think you may be right.

 

[bagelsncheesey]

Depending on how large the tv's are, we would probably need 4 tv's. Doing a 4x4 split on one tv makes things waaaay too small.

I think we just need to be on the same network at your house. All on the same hub or router.

You can all connect through the same wireless

So we just need to run an ethernet cable between the two consoles. Sounds easy enough.

So who all is confirmed to be there? Are our west coast friends joining us?

We got 6 for sure and I think they are all coming up/down Friday. Don't know how many may stop by on Saturday. There's a RSVP thread a page or so back but no one else has said their coming yet. It's a bit early still so I can't really blame anyone.

I would have a hub handy just in case. I have not tried this but VERY few network cards are capable of connecting two systems directly using a straight cable (regular Ethernet cable), almost all of them require a cross-over cable, and I would think the 360 would be the same.

 

[TheCroft]

Yeah, I was going to say the same thing. I don't think a regular network cable would work... cross-over cable was what I was thinking. I have a hub I can bring with. It should be interesting if we get multiple TVs with a system link going.

Hot damn.

I got two HD tv's now but someone's gotta bring another system and some controllers. Maybe an extra controller or two for Kit

Yea, I can see him going through at least 2 controllers during a drunkin' weekend.

funny I don't see him damaging them........more getting them shoved up his ass

 

[TheCroft]

I'll bring my 360. The TV i had available to bring is no longer available because it dead. Do you guys think Rock Band would get rocked if I brought it? Ditto for Scene It? I have 2 controllers, and as long as no one throws them at a wall, i'm good.

I told you guys last night..NO MORE broken controllers for me! I have not broken one in a few weeks now and I won't again.

Pretty much



My ex left SW and LOTR trivial pursuit games but feel free to bring Scene It. I've never played it but we're all pretty big movie fans so it should be fun. I heard rock band is fun but I've only ever played GH2 so I'd stick to that or bass. Hopefully someone can play drums.

I don't buy it.

Scene It is actually pretty fun. If you have a movie buff as an opponent, just forget about winning though.
