This Quake3, Unreal and Delta Force II LAN party was held in Amsterdam from wednesday eve the 31st of May 'til saturday the 3rd of june 2000. The x3 joined in early thursday afternoon.

Wednesday eve, the first gamers arrive on the scene

Jurrie and PhraD - the red eyes must be because of the flash eheh


A small network has been set up already

PhraD switch boxing between his Linux server and his bigtower pc




Looks like Jurrie's after someone...

...and he doesn't want to shake hands with whoever it is



"Whaaah haah. Ik ben al weer aaardig naar de klote aan het gaan he?"
Yes PhraD you do look a little wasted again already ;-)_

PhraD and LUL.44, who brought along his digital camera and took the most of these pics



This is all still Wednesday eve, x3 had yet to arrive..




x3.Arc
Before Arc Angel joined x3 in 2004, we already knew him as a very lethal character.
With his diabolical railgun skills he turned many Quake3 games into nightmares.



Check out the flat screen in the middle


ZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzZZzzz...

These are still all photos from LUL.44. He shared them on the network so thru our
collective cable connection I uploaded them to the Guru Meditation Centre straight
away. They were available there while the party was still going on

ZzzzzzzzzZZzzzzzzzzz...

ZzzZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz...

ZzzzzzZZzzzzzzzZZzzz...

ZzzzzzzzzzZZzzzzzzzz...

Early thursday afternoon - looks like PhraD's come back to life again


x3.Mokum entered the game (well at least his machine's there)

x3.Enforcer enters the game

And the network expands..

And it expands..

And expands..

x3.holio enters the game


x3.hippie enters the game
(And it looks like WooD occupies the bottom left square centimeter down there)

"Jaah haah..."

GuurtmastA taking it easy for now

Enforcer, Mokum and Savage Tiger


I don't see any Red Bull just now, maybe he stashed it somewhere this time

"Jaah haah!!" - Lighten up Arc!!

Cheers Holio!


The ClinTskie server





The [XXX] Amsterdam Clan (center four) bussy making new Q3 maps available
on the network.



At this point basically there's just a lot of skinning up, drinking Grolsch
and browsing each others pc's going on

If you look closely at this picture you can see that Savage's stash of
Red Bull has been raided




Up next is a picture set of Mokum taking a leak..


As you can see we had no toilet pc this time

"Waar is m'n beugel Grolsch"

Holio and hippie playing some test matches in Amsterdam Arena Q3, a custom
map made by Enforcer that had this enormous burning spliff in the centre |-)_



The people in the Unreal corner




"Jaaha.. toch alweer redelijk naar de klote he?"

Newly opened bottle of wine to the right there



PhraD's had quite a lot of wine and he starts feeling quite well

The ultimate resource for webmasters in any situation!

Hippie testing some more maps

Savage Tiger doing some child labour as he writes a map rotation script
for Holio's dedicated Quake3 server

The script worked great, lots of people soon joined in and for the next
hours we played loads of different maps

Haha! Cut u up with my cirkle saw!


Holio's Quake III server

PhraD didn't like hippie wasting him all the time during Quake so he decided
that he needed to drink more wine

Not that it helped much of course

Huh, wodka with lemonade or something?




Lots of familiar faces always show up on these parties
Here's VaaG!

And there's Vaders in the red shirt, another one of our bbq experts



A beugel of Grolsch about to get wasted by the taste of Red Bull





GuurtmastA (middle) didn't want to bring his machine at first but
changed his mind pretty fast









Watching some of the great PC demos Mokum brought along

"Heeee leuk feessie weer he?!" - Sure thing Jurrie, great party!

Fighting continues for hours

and after a night of gaming everybody looks pretty much wasted but content

...

...



Friday moin, people are slowly waking up again

Won't be long now before the next bottles of Grolsch are opened up :P

A look at the old railroad building from across the street. The front used to be concealed
by a large dike with rusty tracks laying on it, but that had already been removed at this time.
What a waste that the area had to fall prey to real estate contracters.

These pics might not reveal as much but there was a very lively autonome scene,
with lots of artists and alternative people living there and parties being held often

Surprise visit by -edit-


Some peeps enjoying the weather on the veranda at the back


"Hey is anyone going to host another Quake server or what?!"

Vaders preparing another one of his famous BBQs,
so no one has to start killing on an empty stomach


Mokum repairing his broken Microschoft IntelliMouse

Only to reenter the killing game shortly afterwards



Jurrie with his former girlfriend Karina

At last! No more daylight to reflect on our monitors!

PhraD's girlfriend Linda skinning up


Linda also is a fragger to be reckoned with

I suppose this is what the party would have looked like on schrooms


Close-up of Mokum

Holio dude you look wasted, lol


Anyone for another beer?

The end already.. Next party in the weekend of August 4th!
