ITT: LAN stupidities that makes you wanna commit murder

...

Only LAN with trusted people, else you're asking for it

Like what?

If you go to IRL meet ups and don't already expect the highest form of cancer and normalfaggotry you don't belong here.

Iktf

...

Fuck you, lan parties are awesome. If you go to the right ones.
The only recent thing starting to annoy me is Streamers on lan parties. Got to watch out with what you shout and what your right arm does when you walk behind them, thats fucking stupid. Although its twitch fault for being a pussy and classifying slightly offensive jokes as hate speech.

Very nice.

...

I dont believe it.

I LOVE PEEPEE THE FROG
REEEEEEEEEEEEE
TENDDIES HAHA
GTFO NIGGER LIPS

...

Degenerates.

Sickening.

While I don't really care about the streaming itself, the fact that you have to bring the shitty rules of your streaming platform onto the whole fucking lan is so fucking annoying.

I generally set up my PC for local multiplayer games on lan parties. It has a lot of success.
I also managed to introduce quite a few games to the lan party goers. But you need a group of about 4 people willing to play whatever you bring. When others see you having fun, they will join.
The biggest problem is the disappearance of piracy on lan parties. Too often every lan starts with looking through your mutual steam/whatever libraries and then picking a game that everybody has, which is generally only the most popular crap available.

But this year, we are going to bring some change to that. Hopefully it will work out fine.

We only played co-op games, Sven Co-op was insane fun

Is it ok to stream gameplay without everyone's consent? Moreover, is it ok to monetize said stream or resulting youtube footage without everyone's consent? I think the ethics of streaming hasn't been explored fully, and there might be some potential to fuck annoying streamers over.

AoE series. Add the frustrating micro-managing system which requires a healthy dose of cocaine to tolerate and I'm willing to rip of the head and force a keyboard down the neck of the next faggot that replies git gud to me
3/4 of the time it's zerg rushing research and then zerg rushing rock/paper/scissor stacks into your opponents base until one of the two develop hand cramps from pixelhunting peasants or running out of resources.


If only. But the micro-dicks in question can only play what their weed addled brains were taught to do since early age.
They suck at everything else. And I know that since we played shooters and racing games early on.

I've got a really good track record for finding fun multiplayer games DONE DIRT CHEAP like SWAT 4, TES3MP, Risk of Rain, cube world may its soul rest in peace, F-Zero GX emulation, etc. and if it's something which requires multiple computers I try to provide a GOG link or just flat out give my account information to other people so they can install and play it.

It's really just people who can't be fucked to do anything unless it's easy "press a button and it's installed/configured/ready to go in ideal setup" and takes no effort. I've got to practically do all the hard work on other people's setups using different operating systems and it ultimately feels more like I'm an IT contractor than anything else.
Really frustrating how lazy people are nowadays. Even when good, wholesome, fun video games are right at their fingertips they'd rather settle for less because they can't be fucked to do anything and ASSFAGGOTS or Cunt Suck: GO is right there but DUDE we DONT NEED TO USE disagreement BRO HAHA U CAN HEAR ME.
Fuck disagreement too for allowing normies to use VoIP without even having to port forward. Setting up a Mumble server is braindead easy but nooo, that's too hard, I'm a brainlet who wants one button to do everything. Weak.

...

wew shitcord filters to disagreement, fuck me

I agree with most that you said. Its hard to get people to give a game a chance. Especially if it requires more than just clicking next several times. Luckily for older games, you can just copy the folder most of the times. Still, developers should realize how good a form of advertisement piracy at lan parties was. Whenever you play with friends, the problems of the game become a lot less obvious.
Our lan party used to specifically make all their tournaments new games that had not yet been released before our previous lan. Back when new games actually had lan support. We had to move away from that, using a combination of new games, great older games, open source games and samescreen multiplayer games for our tournaments. Because otherwise we can't get people to play in them. Even when you can win nice prices like headsets and the like.

...

What's wrong with you people

spotted the chink

This isn't the 90' faglord.

I even got Daytona USA's link play working, but these fags wouldn't budge. I had so many neat ideas, but it all got wasted on some of the biggest casuals I've ever seen.

That was me

If the threat of being stabbed in some seedy gambling den is comfy to you then more power to you. Around here those places only exist to circumvent anti-gambling laws and are filled with the worst kind of human scum imaginable.

Lan parties aren't so bad. I met my boyfriend at one.

...

You're the type of girl who gets drunk after 4 drinks and goes to bed with me (or let's face it….many others) while your actual boyfriend is stomping everyone's ass on CS1.6 and getting that gamer high off of it.

user…

Haven't been here long huh?

I don't even want to think you guys go to those types of LAN parties with "girls" who aren't necessarily there for games.

Tits or GTFO.

my man

It could just be a fag.

See

Sucks a lot dudes.

we have them in bulgaria, fairly common
downside is that 90% of the people there are 12 year olds playing ASSFAGGOTS and csgo

To bring the change, you always need more than 1 person. If you are playing some arcade, who cares, if 3 people are having fun, suddenly everybody wants to join. Also, be obnoxiously loud whenever its possible. As in, don't ruin anybodies else game, but if you are having fun, make it very obvious that you are having fun.

And casuals need a path to guide them from shitty games to good games. Accept that you will have to bring some relatively casual games before you can get them to enjoy good but non casual games. They got to trust you bring the right games before they will trust the "weird" games you bring.

no it is a fag

you are absolutely not missing out.

...

You have to go back.

the second you put most people in front of even an imaginary audience, the spergs come out of the god damn woodwork.

I generally answer that with, Sure, but if I am on it, I am doing nazi salutes in the background. And if my screen is on it, I am putting porn on.
I don't care if they stream it if it does not involve me in any way.

The fact that they could get banned generally makes them become very considerate.

Don't do this please.

That game was comfy as fuck.

i think the guy put some update information on his devblog months back. he's supposedly still working on it, but he's only one cunt and seems lazy.

I loathe how faggots on here are just casually mentioning their "boyfriend" now like this shit is acceptable. It's not. It's fucking disgusting.

I hope he adds a 3rd warrior skill that's paladin, earth magic, hunter and monk for rogue. Would add a lot of depth to the game.

could be a femanon trying to get that attention

look forward to the next update in 2057.

Unlikely.

Are you a girl healslut (male) that sucks off the whole squad after they are done raiding? You sound like one.

i'm a hopeless optimist.

...

Cube World was a real treasure. Nighttime was spooky as fuck. I sincerely hope it gets updated within the decade- playing it with Holla Forums would make for one hell of a game night.

i went to a LAN center that used to be open where i lived fairly often, was open 24/6 (only partially open sunday), and it was $1/hr to use their machines. about 5 of us would go and play cs:source, dota1, ffa starcraft, etc. was fun times. eventually the place went out of business tho.

Casual mention of faggotry, kill yourself.

The day it gets updated i'm coming back here for the gamenight thread. There would easily be a news thread within the half hour of the announce. There's got to be at least one cube world autist user out here.

that's probably why they went out of business

I don't get it. I seriously don't. Why the fuck do you insist going to a lan if you just want to play a fucking MOBA? If we had a setup where we actually could play against each other with changing teams or whatnot, it probably found be fine it wouldn't, but why the fuck do you go on a LAN party when you want to fight people on the other end of the planet?

learning new games is hard and you want to be the best at skinner box faggot game

Millennials. They can't stand losing as little pampered brats they are and taking the mocking afterwards. And most of normies are dumb as rocks that can't adapt or learn new games for shit.
So those that pick them up quickly get the cold shoulder.
the other option is playing against an anonymous opponent that has no option to shame them directly.

What games?

Quality bait to crash a shitty thread with.
Here's to (you), friend.

git gud

Some of the better ones are:
2 player games:
Human: Fall flat
Mortal Kombat Komplete Edition
Mount your friends
Nidhogg (really good for a while)
rock of Ages
Worms blast (as in, I have one friend which I love to play this game with)
Divekick

3 player games:
The Trine series
Awesomenauts can be reasonable

4 players:
Bionic commando rearmed (if you can get it to work)
Bloody trapland
Castle crashers
Crimsonland (although it is just so much better with mouse and keyboard)
Gauntlet
Genital Jousting (it makes all the casuals happy)
Hidden in plain Sight (really good)
Lara Croft and the Temple of Osiris
Magica (although much, much better with keyboard on lan)
Octodad: Dadliest Catch
Risk of Rain (much better with keyboard)
Screencheat
SpeedRunners (very good)
Starwhal (really good, but got tired of it)
Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed (really good)
Super Motherload
Toybox Turbos
Trials Evolution Gold Edition and Trials Fusion (Something about selecting the maps gets annoying quickly)
Gang beasts (but I don't yet own a legit copy, and I hear they ruined it in the latest update)
Serious Sam 3 (its basically the only shooter on PC that you might be able to play with console faggots)

Some I still have to test, but I think they have potential:
Timberman (for very quick same screen fun)
Viscera Cleanup Detail
Kopanito All-Stars Soccer
Grand Class Melee 2
Overcooked
Staff Wars: Wizard Rumble
Tiny Brains
Death Stairs
Death Squared
Bramblelash
Tricky Towers (its pretty good, but I play Cultriss 2 too much, so any other tetris does not work for me)
EDF 4.1
Arena Gods
Ballistic Tanks

I also have some games for more than 4 players:
6 players:
Crewsaders
Floppy Heroes
8 players:
Janky Tanks

Sadly, none of these have been tested out with more players yet because I use playstation 3 controllers with scpToolkit. Which emulates Xbox controllers, but you can only have 4 of them on the same PC. So I am planning on getting Steam Controllers at some point, simply because you can use a lot more of them at once.

And you might as well get The Jackbox Party Pack 3 or something along those lines.

And more recently

I pity whoever does not know such joys.

Good times.

some of my greatest memories are from lan parties, used to host them few times a year, though they ended up lasting weeks or months. longest one lasted almost a year. usually me plus three close friends, sometimes someone would drop by with his laptop for an evening. beer, bros, vidya and occasional joint.

Who does this kind of shit? Carry your desktop somewhere else and rig cables? Fucking hell the last time I did this was early 2000s, like 2002 tops, and it was already a chore.

Get gud, faggit. Have you not heard of the RTS genre? It's not the host's fault you're too faggy to learn how a build order and how to micromanage shit, like you have to with every single RTS game.

...

>a bunch of "arcades" but they're the type where there are only PS4's and the only things on them are fifa and CoDs

Worst part is that I remember playing Defense of the Ancients in LANs nearly 16 years ago and it was actually fun. Now it just feels like an exercise in pain and frustration and I have no clue why anyone's playing it or 90% of the current multiplayer market.

triggered

There was a time when having computers was too expensive and going to lan houses was extremely cheap in my country.
I spent a good 2 years of my life PC gaming in a LAN house before I got a ps2 and even then I still went to the place every now and then.
Those were some nice times, we had tournaments where the winners would get some free time and stuff like that.

Acquire proficiency at your earliest convenience.

Whats the best lan game, faggots?
For me, UT2K4

Look at this faggot
I bet he never invited a friend home to play vidya with

I applaud you for trying. I took one look at my uni's game club and they were beyond saving

if your friends are mocking you after they win then they are probably shitters who need some sort of validation. Clear dominance over an easy opponent isnt a worthwhile victory and a close match has no justifiable shit talking.

A comment at the moment of victory is fine but being excessive and not letting up shows clear mental problems. The type of shit you expect from assfaggots or hideNshoot players.

Fuck you, Mike. Last I heard you were melting your brain on acid, so I hope you are dead by now.

Why are you a faggot that only wants to play games you know?

Learn to read nigger. I said they were games I don't play, not that I didn't know them. Because they were all terrible games. Just like CS that the fat faggot ran off to play when we were gonna have a big Heroes of Might and Magic 3 multiplayer shitshow. That's why I agreed to come and play in the first place

For me it was CSS, even though I wanted to play UT04.

do people not just have their own LAN parties with friends? why would you ever consider going to one when you know its gonna be shitty. If you knew that CS shit was gonna happen or if all the people there are insufferable faggots you brought it upon yourself.
every party we had was small and maybe 5 people at the most and all we would do is play Sins of a Solar empire, terraria or other stuff that was local and those ended up being the most fun i've had in a long time

Feels bad man

did any of you plebs leech porn so hard it wrecked your friends hdd?

...

That shit hurt.

I remember climbing the school's walls, screaming for no reason, banging my head against the wall and being rude to professors.
I wish I could travel back in time and tell my 15 year old self "nigga das fucked up".
I think I was regarded as the local autist and got a pass for it because others did some of the stuff I did and they couldn't get away with it like me.

It could be worse, I guess.

Yeah, I guess I am. You should be too, because normalizing faggotry is completely and utterly repulsive, and I don't want to see it on a board about fucking video games.

I only ever played Lan parties in high school in the library or in the computer lab because our teacher was nice enough to let us in during lunch. CS faggotry assumed because the soyboy leddit clique forced that shit on everyone else.

The fuck does rote mean?
