Well I'm about to make a five hour drive from Minneapolis to Milwaukee to meet siome buddies and UT for the weekend. I've got some questions for you Lan experts...
1.) I got a new pc about 4 months ago and I haven't installed a nic yet. Money is not an issue, but time is... what is the best nic to get? PCI? 3Com?... To answer this questions consdier three criteria:
a) easy to install... I don't wanna be monkeying around when I arrive... I wanna play!
b) Highest quality... even on a lan lag can be a minor factor... the lower my ping the better!
c) gotta be available at CompUSA! I'm stopping in on my way out of town. If they don't have it I can't buy it!
2.) Are there any actual play techniques to use at a lan party that are not used on the internet? My ping averages about 85 according to NGstats. On a lan I hope to have it near 25. That 60 point difference will be noticeable I'll bet...
3.) Finally, and probably most important of all... all of my trash talking keybinds are irrelavent now... I need some smack to scream across the room when I slap those punks down. Give me your best one liners!
Thanks for the help... I'll post my results on monday!
