I have. I drooled. And then I tried to throw money at the screen, but I have none.

So then I built a desk.

That being said, I just got a new job, with a big pay increase, so perhaps the Ikea Bekant desk is looking good.

These were removed from stores for some unknown reason I wouldn't trust them if you see any kicking around.

Desert Heat? I thought it was Dessert Heat. No wonder it tastes so bad.

Alright, here is the official timeline of Lan events.

Day 1(Pre-Lanfest)
6PM: Systane shows up at my place, in Chicago, and I personally drop close to $100 on beer at four bars. I assume Systane dropped almost as much. Here we are in a high class establishment.

1AM: We get back to my place and played a goonman. I passed out midway through it and Systane finished for me.

Day 2
7AM: Systane and I wake up at 7AM and want to kill ourselves.
8:15AM: We leave for the Lan.
9AM: We realize that we completely forgot about the time zone difference and the lan starts at 1:30PM. To make up for this we literally drive roughly 100MPH for the entire state of Indiana.
10AM: Turk informs me that he is going to be an hour or so late because Ohio forgot to plow it's streets.
1:15PM: Systane and I get to the lan and sign in and set up. Yiss has been here for a while at this point.

There are camera drones and poo poo.

We are literally the closest computers to the CoD tournament. There was so much trash talk all the time from them. It was hilarious as poo poo. I took a picture of this guy at some point and put it as my desktop background. We later all used it as out team picture.

Added super meta photo of me taking my photo and Turk sitting next to me.

Also, we find out our ringer is dropping because someone on his team got sick and could not make it or something. Yiss knows someone there and we just grab him for our 5th knowing full well he was not going to be that great.
2:30PM: Turk gets there.
5PM: We get our first matchup(4.5 hours late). Hiko and Moses join the server, but that is a false alarm and the admins set us the wrong server info. We go to another server to wait a while longer still and then finally get told that our first matchup is a forfeit because the other team was still playing in a LoL tournament.
6PM: We start our second matchup. We 16-0 them.

7PM: We go out for a couple drinks and food and then come back for the lan for a few Goonmans and stuff and retire for the night.

Day 3
11AM: Get to the Lan.
1PM: We are informed that we will have a bo3 matchup that gets streamed. We get completely destroyed. Mainly they have one guy hardcarrying them and almost 40 bombing the second map.


http://www.twitch.tv/wintergaming/v/3820498 (Our match starts at roughly 4:44:18)
3PM: We feel like this mom.

6PM: We all realize we are far too old for this poo poo and all any of us want to do is sleep, so we all retire. We're still gonna do it again next year though. Next time with a proper loving 5 stack.

Also your ringer made a lot of dumb moves in tight situations which ended up costing you. If he were better I think you guys would have still lost but it wouldn't have been as bad

At one point we told him to stop buying smokes because his T side A Cache smokes were literally CT smokes.

I'm not even average with smokes but that's pretty bad. I mean mid on Cache is easy as gently caress to take as T with a smoke over the top and a flash/double flash.

I actually get worse at smoking Mirage's window or catwalk from T spawn every time i play.

Cool. Our team had griefers trying to derank, their team had a hacker, and I got kicked when I was top fragging with 3 kills in 10 rounds. The Counter-Strike experience.

Dude, all four of us were just yelling at him to stick the defuse repeatedly. I was almost out of my seat ready to throw my loving keyboard over to where he sat because if how stupid that was. After that happened all I could was laugh like a maniac in order to keep myself from crying out of sheer embarrassment.

That bar you were at, was it emporium? I haven't been there in a while but that's what it looks like (although a lot of the arcade bars look similar... aging brick buildings)

Yeah, it is just a couple blocks from my place. I prefer Headquarters, but Emporium is pretty good.
