Loss For Words - Mopar
Went to a high spot near home this morning to see the sun come up on the New York City skyline. Seeing NYC without the Twin Towers for the 1st time in almost 30 years was more moving then everything I've
watched on TV last 2 days. Add that to the acrid smelling air and the occasional F16 fighters overhead, it's all pretty overwelming. Even Vietnam (OK, I'm friggin old!)and the Gulf War were just pictures
from a far away place on TV. This is right in my back yard. The 2nd jet to hit the WTC flew almost right overhead 1st. This is scary :(
Saturday, May 5, 2001
NJQ V Getted Filled - Matrix
Just wanted to let everybody know we received 51 sign ups. Which brings me to another point. The price of the lan is thirty dollars at the door,
twenty five if you pay in advance. Not only do you save five dollars by pre-paying, but you also guarantee your seat at the lan. This has never
really been a problem in the past, but the majority of the sign-ups seem to flood in within the last two weeks before the lan. So get your money
in now, Here is the info.
NJQ V has some sponsors. So far 3 companies have promised to donate some goodies to give away as prizes for tournaments. I'm still waiting for
responses from a few others. If you know any companies that would be willing to donate goods for tournament prizes let me know. Finally if you
know you're not coming, and have signed up please let me know so I can remove you from the list.

Wanna Go To A LAN? - Mopar
OK, here's the deal. Huge lanparties take time to organize. There WILL be another
NJQlan, hopefully this spring. In the meantime, we wanted to give all of you a
chance to frag away those winter blues. Our friends over at CyberPlant
have given us that chance by hosting a lanparty this Febuary 18th-20th. That's
President's Day weekend, so most of you should have off of school/work the day
after the lan to catch up on your sleep. For those of you who don't know, CyberPlant
is an ultra-cool computer gaming/service center in Hammonton , NJ. Located right
on Rt 30/White Horse Pike, near Rt 206, they are about 25 miles West of Atlantic
City. Price for the friday-Sunday lan is $30, and includes the use of their hi-speed
T1 internet connection. Computers will also be available to rent for $20 more,
on a 1st come basis. To sign up for the fun, or get more info, head on over the
the CyberPlant
LAN page right now.

HAPPY NEW YEAR! - Mopar
OK, the Y2K scare has come and gone. Looks like we made it thru. Anyone want a
good deal on a truckload of beans, ramen noodles, coke, and ammo?
No, we haven't died over here at NJQuake. Nope, not lazy either. Here are some
of the other projects the people behind NJQuake also work on:
Next Lan Party - Mopar
Early stages of planning are underway for our first lanparty of the new year.
We are open to suggestions right now as to the best weekend to hold it. Keep in
mind, these things take time. The bigger and better it is, the longer it takes.
If you liked all the prizes we tossed (literally!) out at the LAST lanparty, we
need 3 months or so to arrange sponsorship. If you just want to get together and
play, then we can pull it off in 2 months or so. Either way e-mail
us with your suggestions.
IRC Update - Mopar
It looks like we have just sorta "settled in" at Enter
The Game IRC network. We don't have a web-based chat program working there
yet, but if you are using Windows, just grab a copy of mIRC
and head on over to irc.EnterTheGame.com #NJQuake and idle with us :)
Wednesday, December 01, 1999
IRC Network Problems - Mopar
Well, it appears that GameNode.net, the IRC server we use for chat, might
have died in it's sleep. That means that the "IRC" button to the left won't work.
I haven't be able to connect to any of the servers or their website for 2 days
now. After finally tracking down one of the server ops, I found he knew little
more about the situation, and had pulled down his server in disgust.
So the question is: Where do we go from here? It's basically down to 2 choices.
GamesNet or EnterTheGame.
Each has positives and negatives as I see it. GamesNet is where we started. We
left there (along with a LOT of others) for reasons. Go back to the beginning
of this year in the old news if you need a refresher. Some of these have been
corrected since then, some haven't. EnterTheGame Now has 3 times the registered
channels that GamesNet has. Thats a plus. More channels mean more people. People
that might live in the area but haven't heard of NJQuake (say it isn't so!). But
ETG has had problems in the past. at one point just a few months ago, the hacks/attacks/channel
takeovers got so bad, they almost shut down.
If you have a preference, email me at mopar@njquake.com.
Tell me which network and WHY. Give me solid reasons, not "my clan is there" or
"I'm friends with so and so who knows an IRCop there".

Upcoming Lanparty - Mopar
There will be a lanparty in Rutherford, NJ on Jan.8, 2000. This is a one
day lan hosted by clan "The Matrix" (not to be confused with Matrix our
staff member, who had the nick years before the movie).
Cost is $15 and they have room for about 50 people. You can check out their website
at www.lanpartyusa.com
for more information.
From some of the msgs I saw posted on their forum, this one might be worth attending
just for the food! :)

Quake 3 Lock Up - Mopar
On November 27th and 28th, iGames
will sponsor a Q3a tourney called Quake 3 Lockup at 13 locations across
North America. Our good friends at the
Cyberplant in Hammonton, NJ will be converting their gaming facility into
a prison for this event. After all participants are in, the gates will be locked
until 8:00pm on the 28th. Only access to the world will be via a high speed TI
internet connection. Players under the age of 18 may be paroled for the night
only if their parents post bail. Sleeping bag and pillow is permitted, although
floor space is not guaranteed, and you may be viewed by fellow gamers as a weakling.
There be plenty of fierce competition between the 13 "prisons", including
1 on 1 death matches, as well as 4 player team games. The top players in each
location will enter into the tourney. A trophy, a 14K gold Q3a necklace, and T-shirts
are among the prizes being offered.
Head on over to the Cyberplant
right now to sign up. The page there says pre-registration is already closed,
but the guys at Da Plant tell me they still have some room left.

HUGE update time - Mopar
Ok, I admit it. I've been a slacker lately. Same old story: Working 10-12hrs a
day, plus another 2hrs of commute time each day. ICK! I don't do much on the weekends
except rest up for the next week. Let's see what's been going on:
Ermac at Frag3 - Mopar
Ask anyone who has ever gone to a NJQuake lanparty who dominated it. Without a
doubt, they will say, "Ermac!". So much so, last lan we awarded prizes to everyone
who got stuck playing against him in the 1v1 tourney.
Well, now our long-time friend Ermac
has made it to the big leagues. He was selected for an auto-berth (guaranteed
spot)at the Cyberathlete Professional
League's Frag 3 competition
going on this weekend in Dallas, Texas.
He also got free airfare and hotel. Way to go ERMAC! You can follow his progress
courtesy of NetGamesUSA
on the tourney stats page found *here*.
Ermac Interview - Mopar
We have a special treat.... an interview
with Ermac BEFORE he wins Frag
3 !! This is hopefully a 2-parter, as Wench will try to interview him
again after he becomes rich and famous :)
Pictures - Mopar
The NJQ3 lanparty pictures are up. Just follow the "Lan Pics" link on the menu
to the left.I still have to get to the Playground99 pics, the Ground Zero pics,
and the pics from the weekend with CYA. I'll get to them, I promise.
Ground Zero Reviews - Mopar
OK, like Ground Zero is
long past now, and it's sorta pointless to write up something on it at this late
date. I'll just point ya to some of the better aticles other people wrote: East
Coast Scene (half way down) TrueGamers
Friday, September 10, 1999
New York City - Ground Zero - Mopar
Ok, here I am, sitting at Ground
Zero, The Cyberathlete
Professional League's East coast Q3A tourney happening in New York City this
weekend.
Since "your's truly" is registered as online media, I've been doing all the newsie
sorta stuff today. I have YET to play a single game on my own system, but I did
get to check out some of the new gaming stuff coming out soon, as well as logging
a good amount of time on the new Sega
Dreamcast console. I also got to go back to Pseudo.com
(I was there 2 1/2 yrs ago for one of the 1st big lanparties ever) and sit in
on the Lilith & Eve
show.
Some where along the way, I also found time to hook up with some old friends,
and make some new ones. I've also been taking a ton
of pix. I'll get to those right after the NJQ3 lanparty ones.
Friday, September 10, 1999
NJQ3, The Party's Over - Mopar
The 3rd NJQuake lan party was last weekend, and I've just recovered enough to
update the website (and head to NYC for ANOTHER lan event!).
1st, I'd like to thank all of you who came out, the last few weeks b4 these lans
I always start to wonder if it's really worth all the time and effort. It is.
2nd, I'd like to thank all our sponsors,
especially CyberPlant. We
had a TON of stuff to give away, and give away we did.
I really can't remember everyone who won stuff (there were so many), but a few
things come to mind. We gave prizes to everyone who was unlucky enough to have
to play againstErmac in the Q3
tourney. Ermac got a Q3A mousepad for beating all comers in Q3.
Scablord won a MS sidewinder Pro joystick for traveling the farthest to get to
the lan (Rochester, NY), and doing it for each and every lan we've had! Other
prizes went to random IP addresses on the network, the guy with the slowest computer
there (a P1-200mmx machine that was in so many pieces, it reminded us of Humpty
Dumpty), and the last person to fall asleep Sunday might (he didn't).
I also got to meet the guyz and gals of clan CYA. We had a grand ol' time drinking
margaritas and eating at Applebee's all weekend. I can't wait for the next chance
to hang with these guys, although maybe next time *I'LL* drive (I think [CYA]Celt
had a hard time separating Midtown Madness from reality. J/K!)
As soon as I sort through them all, I'll upload all the pictures I took, especially
the one proving Nitro really
DOES exist after all.
Friday, September 03, 1999
Off To The LAN PARTY! - Mopar
OK, I'm off to the NJQuake.com Lan
Party. We still have plenty of room, and it looks like it's NOT gonna be a
great weekend for the Jersey shore, so even if you haven't signed up, COME ON
OVER!
Hope to see everyone there, drive safe. Mopar out.
Thursday, August 19, 1999
NJQ Lanparty Has Bawls! - Mopar
Thats right! Bawls Gaurana
is the newest sponsor of the NJQ3
Lanparty.
If you're wondering just what Bawls is, it's a non-alcoholic high-caffeine soft
drink made from guarana berries. Guarana has 2.5 times the caffeine of coffee,
so this soda is PERFECT for a 4 day long lanparty!
Saturday, August 14, 1999
NJQ3 Lanparty Prizes! - Mopar
The NJQuake lanparties
have always been, and will always be, an event where fun comes first. They have
never been focused on a (insert current id game here) tournament with a big prize
to the winner. The way some people get when there is a $50 prize riding on a match,
you would think they just lost a Ferrari to Thresh or something.
NJQuake.com has been around over 2 years now. That's a long time on the
internet, where websites come and go daily. You guys and girlz have supported
us, so at this lan we wanted a way to say thank you. As everyone knows, there
are 2 ways to a gamer's heart. Through their stomach and through their computer.
The BBQ we plan on throwing covers the 1st part, but what about the second?. Well,
we have found some fine
companies that have offered to help us with the second part. So far, Cyberplant,
Interplay, and Everglide
have all agreed to donate prizes for NJQ3, and hopefully more are on the way!
Now, re-read the beginning of this post. See my dilemma?
I need some ways OTHER then the same ol' 1 on 1 deathmatch to give this stuff
out. Ways that everyone has an equal chance at going home with a prize. Any ideas?
Email me if
you have any fun ideas for giving away all this loot!
Don't forget, if you want a chance to win these cool prizes, you have to
be there! Sign up now for the
biggest and best lanparty in the state of New Jersey.

Matrix's Report on Quakecon - Matrix
The Mother of All Lan Parties
I just got back from the Cyberplant's Road Trip to QuakeCon 99. This was the most
impressive LAN party I have ever been to.
I gotta give props to my friend Aggs,
who ran the network there. Talk about overkill, how many of you have EVER seen
a 3 second ping in a multiplayer game?
There was absolutely no problems the entire weekend. This has to be a first in
Lan party history. Even during the Kill the K7 event. Where they had a Prereleased
AMD K7 600 Mhz powered Quake 3 server with over one hundred people on it. The
network was only at like seven percent utilization.
The only problem I had with Quakecon 99 was it was ALL QUAKE 3, all weekend long.
I was lucky to get in a few games of Half-Life. I couldn't understand how people
could play 3 maps of Quake 3 the entire weekend. There were several Quake 2 servers
running, but remained empty for most of the event. Quake was totally absent. That
is my only gripe though.
Driving was fun, but next year I'm definitely flying, too much time in a van makes
you kinda stir crazy ;).

Happy Birthday, NJQuake!! LAN Signups OPEN!
- Mopar
Today is NJQuake.com's semiofficial birthday. We are 2 years old today!
(1 internet year = 10 human years!)
I say "semiofficial" because we were actually around for several months before
that, hosted on NiTro's homepage at monmouth.com. July 11, 1997 is the date we
opened the doors of own domain, NJQuake.com, to the world. Here
is the announcement on Blue's
News. Here
is the announcement on Frag.com.
It's kinda cool to go look at these links and see just what was happening in the
community 2 years ago.
To celebrate this very special day, we are opening up the signups to our
latest and greatest LAN party. NJQ III will be a 4 day lanparty/BBQ held on Labor
Day Weekend.
For more information, and to signup, just follow the links from the "Lan Party"
button on the left; or head directly to the NJQ
III page.

played over the internet, it will be played during Playground
'99. Expect tournaments in Quake, Tribes, TFC, Starcraft, Descent 3, card
games, driving games, sports games, you name it!
I also really wanted to mention all the sponsors, but that list is just as large.

OK, now that your all revved up, where will all this fun take place? Well, all
over the country, but the place TO BE will be over at the Cyberplant,

BTW, Did i mention how much all this fun costs?
Nada. Zero. Zip. Nothing. FREE! What a deal! You get to play games on a high-end
gaming system, over a T1 connection to the internet....for free. You can be damn
sure the NJQ staff will there as much as possible trying to get us some of those
prizes.

Semi-Local LANs - Mopar
April 10-11, 1999. Mark it on your calender. I've got TWO lanparties that weekend
for ya!
For those of you to the North, you might be interested in checking out
the East Coast Massacre
VI, in East Hartford, CT.
And, for those of you to the South, head on over to the guys of I.C.E.
and check out what they have going on in Greenbelt, MD.
Both LAN's are in very experienced hands, so you can assured a great weekend at
either event. My only regret is I can't be in both places at once. If anyone cares,
there will be a small group of us heading up to the CT one.

Silly - Not Quake Related - Mopar
I was Bored. I was home. I did THIS.
Go check it out.
PS. It's all Blue's fault!
