Details:

It's Halo 3. It's multiplayer. It's a LAN! We had 16 people show up for our Halo2 launch party a few years ago, and now the time has come again.

If you're looking for a hardcore H3 tourney, this isn't for you. We're basically about getting together, enjoying the game and having a blast. Skill levels will range from shitty to awesome, so all are welcome.

I host quite a few video game gatherings so come meet some new people who also love gaming and enjoy H3 Multiplayer in a LANned environment!

In addition to the Halo 3 gaming, we'll have:
- All the arcade games turned on to FREE PLAY (Killer Instinct, SF2 Hyper, SSF2 Turbo, MAME cab, Neo Geo 4 slot)
- Guitar Hero II setup. You gotta love GH2.
- $10 for All Night Pizza and Mountain Dew Halo 3 Game Fuel! If you choose, an optional $10 will buy you plenty of pizza and game fuel to keep you going through the night.

This is basically being run out of my house, and we are taking donations of equipment (360s, controllers, chairs, H3 game discs, networking equipment, etc.) Please let me know if you can donate some equipment for the evening. For the latest update on who's bringing what, refresh this post!

How cool am I? Seriously? How cool? I actually followed through with something for once! The "Pilot" Episode of The Jaded Gamers is now up! I even got the RSS shit working. Go ahead and add this to your podcast subscription software:

So, yeah, remember this is the pilot... the test run. I'm working on getting better mics, streamlining the outline, and improving my "radio presence" without sounding too much like a stereotype radio DJ.

We'll get better. I promise. For now, we need your help! We need feedback/questions for our next cast. This is a weekly show, so get those feedback comments and questions into the comments of the next post! Ask away!
