We have a new set up for the dMw LANs. There is an area of the room dedicated to a large TV and community-owned PC. We have a range of games available to play on the PC, all of which focus around split screen madness played with a controller - we will be providing 4 of these (but please bring spares!).
The games here are all bought from the community fund, onto a community managed Steam account. If you have ideas for games that would go down well at the LAN, drop a post here or give one of the LAN admins a poke via PM / Discord. If you end up with a spare copy of a game you think would work well and wish to donate to the community account, let us know!
There are emulators set up on the PC for a few retro consoles. I will add a list of these emulators and supported games to this thread soon. As above, if there is an older game you want to see running on the TV, please let us know! We can try to set it up, but do bear in mind not all old games work well when emulated like this.
The TV/PC will be available for use throughout the LAN, to all attendees. During some of the tournaments, we will use the system, or use the TV to spectate the matches for an easier way to watch the games as a group!

Sounds interesting sneaks, but I wouldn't suggest bringing along second PCs to the LANs unless it was something we (the LAN team) had discussed and planned with you in advance. We run a tight and busy ship!
We could soon end up with people bringing along too much gear to fit in the room, and trying to organise stuff that clashes with what we have planned, turning the weekend into absolute Chaos (pun fully intended :D).
Lets stick to the 1 PC and 1 monitor per member, unless we have sorted something else cool out beforehand! Don't get me wrong though, it's great to know your keen on the VR stuff! You'll be top of the list to chat to when we come to plan some more of this stuff into the weekends.
well its a spare pc but what i mean to say is, its gonna be vr capable, ie i'm getting a 1060 or 1050 ti for it. gonna be bringing my vr with me to every lan i goto tho, we can talk about it when its nearer the time.
That's cool mate, just don't want you going out of your way for our sake, as we haven't decided what role, if any, VR stuff will play at the next LANs. Sure it may do (and then we will definitely know who to turn to for some help!), but can't guarantee it'll be part of the plan.
Definitely don't be buying stuff unless it's something you personally want though! We don't want anyone buying stuff for the LANs from their own pocket - sorting gear out (servers, LAN stuff) is something done by and for the community as a whole, not individually. This is what the supporting member subscriptions, donations, and LAN fees are for, in part. These are the best ways to support dMw financially!
We just want you to turn up and enjoy the weekend, we'll worry about the rest :D

Hi Chaos, there’s another one on steam called “Human: fall flat†I can’t link it atm but will later. Unfortunately it’s £11.99 but maybe add it to the wishlist and wait for a sale. It can be played 4 player coop rather than Vs ;)

Just stumbled upon this : Guts and Glory (http://store.steampowered.com/app/537340/Guts_and_Glory/) looks like it could be a giggle.
You tube of game play here (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n7gxrh1i4gc)

I hope that means we will see you in October Main :D
I've put these games on my list, but ideally would prefer to pick them up in the sales!
Would love to Chaos, would love to. Let's pick a warmer date though :D
With 40+ PCs in the room you'll be plenty warm. Warm enough for a beer, funnily enough xD
I found Battle Block Theater cheap so have added that to the account.

OK all, a few things about the LAN PC.
First of all I believe it was struggling in May. I got the PC back over the weekend and fired it up to see what was up... turns out a stick of RAM died at some point, and I suspect you were gaming on 4GB. This may have been the problem.
Now, second, with that said the PC could do with an upgrade. I put it together as a fairly budget conscious build as we did not know how well the whole set up would go down. I think fair to say it has gone well! So, this is what we have right now -
CPU - 3.5 Ghz Dual Core from AMD (A6-7400K) on an FM2+ motherboard.
8 GB DDR3 1600 C9.
GTX 780.
1TB HDD.
Pesteh has very kindly sent me 8GB of DDR3 to replace what died, so we are sorted there. Gortex thinks he has a 970 that he is also very kindly happy to donate to the build, which is a nice upgrade off of that ageing 780. That leaves us with the CPU/Mobo, and HDD.
Now, IF any members have old hardware lying around that they want to donate to the community, that may be one way to upgrade the machine. Ideally we are looking for a decent quad core CPU and motherboard, and an SSD (at least 256GB). With what we have donated between us so far (the entire machine), I think this is worth asking!
Please do not feel compelled to donate anything, this is entirely optional.
If that doesn't happen, we may use a small amount of community funds to upgrade the machine. I think with around £150 we could grab a quad core cpu (albeit keeping with the somewhat naff FM2+ socket) and an SSD for the build.
So either way we will give the machine a bit of love before October. Drop me a PM if you have something you'd be keen to donate, and thanks again to those that have done so already :yahoo:
i have a 256gb ssd i'm willing to donate, i'll check what other specs my spare lan pc has.
No spare parts but happy to donate some dolla if needs be
Quote from: Jewelz^;432813No spare parts but happy to donate some dolla if needs be
Always happy to Donate like jewelz said, it's if makes the Lan better then why not. How else we going to get dance dance revolution arcade machine
Very good of you guys, thanks. If it came to that for this LAN PC we'd post up something specific with more information, for now we will keep it simple hardware donations :)
Thanks again <3

I think Myopic might enjoy this lots :)
I could get very angry with him playing this together. Looks ideal.
