As Hixie pointed out I came down to Bath to attend another BUNCS LAN and staying at the Hixie Hotel =)

Was the usual LAN affair, not as many people as we had hoped, but enough for a few good games, and of course getting the usual dose of new Anime. We played some Black Hawk Down, which was ok at first in multiplayer, but played a little too much like Counter Strike for my liking, with the usual deaths by a random enemy you can't even see.

Urban Terror, a similarly themed game mod using the Quake III Engine, was much better than Black Hawk Down, although alot of the maps were too small since you spawned around the corner from each others spawn points.

We did plan on going to see X-Men 2, but managed to eat far too slowly at Burger King, so was too late to catch the film, so we travelled back to Hixie's, and spent several hours installing Diablo II on Hixie's laptop. We did plan on playing it before the LAN but since it took so long to install didn't get a chance.

As usual a great weekend, and makes me wish I was still down at Bath.
