How To Have A Good Time Doing Nothing
Ingredients:
A LAN
UT2K4
Halo
Five insane friends (adjust as needed; at least four recommended)
Weebl & Bob's Crabs song (optional)
A lot of sugar and caffiene
First step: Create a LAN game of UT2K4. Use Invasion mode. Remove bots. Add the Zoom Instagib, Super Berserk, Quad Jump, and Low Gravity mods. Kick ass for 30+ minutes with flying players, gibs and laughs. Change your names to stupid things for giggles.
Second step: Create a LAN game of Halo. Use special rules that include no team damage, rocket launchers only, infinite grenades, etc. Get everyone on the same team and proceed to horribly abuse the game's physics engine by doing warthog jumping, warthog jousting, ghost jousting, tank dogpiles, banshee racing and other gratuitous misuses of the game. (This is what we call a "demolition derby.")
Third step: Make dirty jokes about the tanks mounting each other, laugh hysterically, ingest way too much caffiene and sugar, and listen to the Crabs song way too much during the events.
Fourth step: Decide this is more fun than playing the normal way.
Fifth step: Repeat.
Serves: as many as you can convince to join the stupidity.

What you speak of is TRULY a wonderful thing, yes indeed. As I have both of those games, it makes it truly a fun thing to experience.
I absolutely must discuss with you the idea of setting this up over Hamachi, which if we connect to each other will register to the games as a LAN game. I would greatly enjoy having a friend along in UT2k4, though I must reinstall Halo to play that worthy.
Throw in Skype for voice communications and you indeed have a VERY interesting beginning for chaos incarnate on a video screen.
Looking deeply forward to your reply,

P.S. I also have Steam, if you are on such, and would willingly trade Steam ID's with you via note for what rare times I am on there.
