Hi All,
Just FYI, there is a group of guys trying to organize local gamers
so that LAN parties and similar events can be announced and "marketed".
Their site is at http://hawaiigamingheadquarters.com/ . I spoke to
Earl, who runs the site, and he seems like a nice guy - fairly positive
about Linux as a gaming platform, but gamers don't really care -
whatever runs their game most easily or with the highest frame rate. I
stopped by McKinley to see what Michael had put together, and ran into a
number of Windoze gamers running mostly first person shooters. I'm sure
that those guys would love to play with Linux gamers - as long as
everything works correctly.
Another note - I purchased NeverWinter Nights for Linux from Tux
Games several months ago simply to support Linux gaming. I finally
installed it yesterday, and I'm pleased to say it runs beautifully.
Another great game for Linux.
-Jeff

Michael,
I wish I had known about this earlier...I would have volunteered to setup a
QuakeII server, or an UnrealTournament server, or a Half-Life server...oh
well.
Anyways, next time, more advance notice would be appreciated.
Dwight...
