My PC has been given me fits sitting here in my office without trying to take it on a 460 mile trip (that's one way). But, if there's any games I can bring to help us out, no problem.
Quick change in subject: DVDs I'm bringing. There are three I'm bringing no matter what: 1) Army of Darkness; 2) Monty Python and the Holy Grail; and 3) Spaceballs. Those are great party movies that can be played in the background even if we don't actually watch them.
I went through my collection and I have some other suggestions that might be good:
The Abyss
Aliens
Back to the Future (Trilogy)
Batman Begins
Constantine
Hackers
Serenity
Ghostbusters
If nobody tells me they'd like me to bring any of those, the only one I might bring anyway is Ghostbusters. If anyone hasn't seen any of these, or really wants me to bring any particular one, just say the word.

Make choices, don't look back...
I'll probably bring a couple movies as well.
Dev! Refresh my memory... are you coming down wednesday night or thursday morning?

Summer Glau as River in Serenity is currently my Wallpaper.
Thats some good old movies. I added quite a few older movies aswell as some newer ones to my collection.
Steel make sure you bring your UT2004 stuff like last year. Does it matter if there are more then one Unique ID when your on a LAN??

It most likely still does. When a duplicate ID is present on the network it will probably kick the other person off or not let the second person on at all.
Coming down on Thursday morning BC. Really early to at least try to be there before dinner time. Leaving here around 4-5 AM.
I'll bring my copy of UT2k4, but didn't we load my copy onto your computer last year? What did you do, replace or wipe out the hard drive since then?
As for movies, I think I'll replace The Abyss with the whole Indiana Jones collection and bring everything else I mentioned. Just in case.
Taz, I'll probably show up at your place no later than 5:00 pm. It's 7.5 hours drive from my place, and my stops are short since I'm by myself. If I leave my place at 8am, the only way I don't make it to your place by 5 is if I have car trouble (knock on wood).
I upgraded my PC so the one on the glass desk is the one I was using last year. Don't need to bring your CD's just the ID thing which should be in the User.ini file. Boney and Dev can confirm if thats correct.
Getting close now..

I looked up the adding songs thing SS... Looks pretty hard from what I can gather... maybe we can try at the LAN.

The CD Key is actually found in the windows registry. That little bugger needs to be unique for every person online or we're going to get error messages.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Unreal Technology\Installed Apps\UT2004\CDKey
Yeah Dev, try and get here a little earlier this time
If its early enough that we'll beat rush-hour traffic, we can eat at Hooters on the way 
This would, of course, mean that we'd leave here around noon. Dunno if thats doable or not.

Thats correct, Steel send it by email with your User.ini. I can then add it and test out the LAN. This way you have your key binds and your CD Key added before you get here.

We wanna get there Thursday evening, do we not? Maybe noon is pushing it. But that means when we do leave from here... rush hour.
We need a definate confirmation from Mike still. Taz you can add your buddies name to the "attendance" in the first post, I'm having a brain fart on his name.
And everyone is clear that they need to bring their PCs? (PC, Monitor, Keyboard, Mouse, Headphones, CAT-5 [I may be able to bring one spare 50-footer if I can find it]). FLASH DRIVES. Makes package mismatches much quicker to fix!

Ryan, is his name.
There should be no need for CAT5 cables have all of those and should have it wired up before you arrive. Steel is the only one not bringing a PC (AFAIK), he kinda reserved my other PC. ICE will be making another guest appearance but not sure if he will drag his PC over. I won't be able to get my nephews PC so thats one less, not like it worked last year anyway.

Well Todd is bringing his this time. I don't think he did last year. Taz you have enough cat-5's for all of us?
Taz I just read over your first post. I thought we were doing the mall on Friday so it wasn't as busy? But if Ice and BT can only make it saturday then I guess thats the day.

Hmm, yeah, Taz, your first post isn't correct.
I'll be showing up on Thursday, possibly even arriving before Jim, Todd, and Seb.
I know Avri won't show up until late Saturday evening, when is Mike coming?
Unless Mike can come early enough to go with us on Saturday, we may as well go to the mall on Friday. I was still thinking it was possible that Avri could hang out with us for a bit on Friday at the mall, though that's up to him and our exact timing. I guess it's possible we could make a final decision on that when we all arrive.

Yeah I was pretty sure you said Thursday earlier Jason. I talked to taz on the phone today and realized that. Post edited to reflect that.
