Hey! Welcome to Bellingham Gaming Festival's forums!

You might be wondering what the heck these ge-golly new forums are doing on BLE's boards! Well guess what! Here are some answers!

What is Bellingham Game Fest?
It's a LAN party! A big one! 200+ people! We're also going to have a console section for people that are illiterate and don't know how to use a keyboard and mouse. Check out our website at http://gamefest.bellinghamlan.com

When is this baby!
Day: January 24th through the 25th
Time: 9am till 3am the next day!

You're mean! Not all console players are illterate! Also: consoles own PC in game sales
meh. You haven't convinced me.

What's a LAN party?
A LAN party is when a bunch of people bring their computers near each other so that they can scream in the other person's ear instead of corpse-humping/defiling the other person's corpse ala Halo3.

So there's going to be 200 people in the same room screaming at each other while playing Halo3?
Oh good fucking lord I hope not. I hope everyone is screaming while playing a respectable game like TF2, CS:S, or Gears of War.

Are there going to be tournaments?
Of course! There should be a tournament thread somewhere on these forums for you to chime in on which tournaments are offered. There's going to be 3 PC tournaments and 3 console tournaments. The prizes might not be that good, but the bragging rights are always supreme.

Is there a cost to attend?
Augh! Our fee-schedule is borked!
Bringing your own computer: $20 prepaid, $25 at the door
Renting a computer from GameConX: $25 prepaid, $30 at the door
Consoles: $10 prepaid; $15 at the door

Surprise! All students get an extra $5 off when they show their Student Card at the door! If you prepaid we'll just give you $5.

It's important to note here that our intentions with any money we raise will be be for the benefit of Child's Play Charity. So if you take your $5 at the door, you're liable to look like a gigantic douche bag.

Where do I sign-up?
BYOC (if you intend to bring your computer) (http://www.bellinghamlan.com/lan_events.php?eventid=62)
Rental (if you want to rent a PC) (http://www.bellinghamlan.com/lan_events.php?eventid=64)
Console Players (http://www.bellinghamlan.com/lan_events.php?eventid=63)

well, first you need to over clock your mother board, so what you'll need to do is get an iron, a watch, mechanical is the best, and some tape.

you'll want to heat up your mother board till it's pliable in your hand using the iron. don't mind the smell or smoke, that's normal.

then take the watch and put it onto the molten plastic, hold it until it sticks there nice and solid. repeat if it falls out.

now the hard part is the tape, and i hope you saved your mother boards box because you're going to want to RMA that sucker and use the tape to seal the box, and voila!

You think a cut to the neck would kill a pirate?

Blackbeard took something like ten BULLETS and didn't go down.

Fliers are in drafting stage and will be out ASAP.

We will be figuring out how many people we need to help out at the event and call out to BLE peeps. If you are interested in helping out you can contact me, we wont have much info for you yet but we'll keep you in mind!
