I'll go grab my consoles and what not from my brothers place probably tomorrow. I have (2) xbox 360's and a handful of controllers, I do not recall how many.

Current weather forecast

high of 14 degrees low of 6. partially sunny, 7% chance of snow.

If we want to do outside in suit photos we will have to be very mindful of the temp.

Unless someone wants to be there earlier i will be arriving around 9 AM to start the turkey, open up the facility and set up TV's and my xbox.

I talked with Wayward Flood and we will both be bringing halo 1-3 and ODST.

My only current worry is having enough long enough Ethernet cords (6-10FT) to connect to their outlets. I know i have a few but not sure how many.

I believe everyone should have the address now. if you don't DM wayward or my self on the forums or on discord.

I am super excited for this.

I'll see if I can find for more Ethernet cords around my place. I might have a few longer then 6ft.

The wife has said that we will be ok to do crafting under some very basic guidelines.

1) we clean up our mess.
2) we keep is local and only use your own brought tools.
3) she may ask you to sign a basic waiver depending on what kind of work and where you are doing it. (sense your on the company property they don't want to be held liable for you hurting your self). She will provide those if she deems it necessary.

none of that will be necessary if your just hanging out.

For sure. Absolutely fair. To alleviate any worry, I'll just be Gap filling my completed armor pieces if im not complete with that step by the time I arrive no tools besides my gap filler of choice and I'll make sure to keep any space allowed clean

Question: around what time will the LAN party be tomorrow? I have to coordinate so I can manage planning for something else tomorrow evening as well (gonna be pet sitting for some family friends, so I need to know if I should do that before or after the Halo)

Regarding chip preferences, the only kind I’m not a big fan of personally are salt and vinegar. Not sure about anyone else tho

Want to relive the days of playing Halo with friends on the couch?


Want to play it without the enemy team looking at your screen?


Wanna trash talk them to their face afterwords?


The Great Lakes Battalion is hosting a 4-16 player LAN party to play the first couple of Halo games together. Billeybob250 has offered to have us at his wife's workshop. It has 2 large break room TVs, 1 large conference room TV, and a few other office TVs all connected to a router. Controllers, Xbox 360s, and Halo copies will have to be
provided, which shouldn't be a problem.


A few rules since this will be on company property off hours

1) we clean up our mess.
2) we keep it local and only use your own brought tools.
3) she may ask you to sign a basic waiver depending on what kind of work and where you are doing it. (sense your on the company property they don't want to be held liable for you hurting your self). She will provide those if she deems it necessary.

none of that will be necessary if your just hanging out.
