Posted on Monday August 08, 2022

The next game to show up in our schedule of events for our summer LAN party taking place this Friday August 12 to Monday August 15 will be Pirates, Vikings, and Knights II.

If all goes according to plan, we do plan to have a LAN server (called [OSF] LAN party) that players from the internet are able to join. There is in-game chat for this game to use for team-oriented coordination, but we will use the Discord lobby and STEAM friends to coordinate and socialize. The server will have our usual password, foliage, to keep it private.

Prepare for summery LAN party: Battlefield V
Posted on Sunday August 07, 2022

The next game to show up in the schedule of events for our summer LAN party taking place from this coming Friday August 12 to Monday August 15 will be Battlefield V. The plan is for this game to be played starting around 10:00 AM Eastern on Saturday morning. We will be using a private server through the game called [OSF] The Ardennes Forest. The password will be foliage. To find the server, go to Play -> Community Games -> Browse Community Games -> Filter (by Name: Ardennes). This should bring up our server in the list. Do not join on others because it will unbalance the teams.

It does have profanity with the game announcer, but you can disable that by turning of the "In-Game Announcer" in the settings. You can also set it to 11 different languages including "Brazilian Portuguese" if that does not work.

Below is a link to buy/download the game for $40-50, if you do not already own it, but it will inevitably go on sale again in the future for $10 or less. So if you do not have the game yet, you are better off simply signing up for EA Play for $5 for one month which will give you access to this game as well as a lot of other games and then cancelling it at the end of the month.

Sea of Thieves is a PC and Xbox One action/adventure game that allows cross play between the two where you form a crew of up to 4 and sail around looking for treasure and having other adventures. If we have more than 4, we will split into several crews. We will make a attempts to match on the same server together with multiple ships at the start, so try to be there on time for this purpose.

It is easy to use and gives you 10 GBs of free data each month.

Make sure to check the game on the Microsoft store app prior to community night to see if there is an update that needs to be downloaded/installed by the store app! Also, if you buy the game through the Microsoft store on either the PC or Xbox, you can install and play it on both the PC and Xbox One simultaneously. You can try it for a month for $1. See below.

The Way Too Early Prepare for LAN Games News Post

Given that almost all of the games that we will play at our summer LAN in August are on sale right now until Wednesday, this is your chance to be prepared at the cheapest cost. These are the games that we will be or may be playing. I also included the free games if you don't already have those claimed/installed. Not to worry though because I know you were panicking. We will have 20 news posts in the weeks prior to the LAN party, which is not that far away now, to prepare you for each individual game to be played. They just will not be as cheap to buy if you do not already own them.
