The 2014 BellGab.com Warcraft 3 Tournament

[MV/Liberace!]

anyone that is interested in joining us for the first bellgab.com gaming day this saturday let me know by pm and I will send you the details to connect.  We are going to play warcraft III since it is one of the only games certified for Windows 8.1 and above.  As soon as we know how many (if anyone) wants to connect we will set a specific time.

If we get more than Michael and I playing I am of the opinion we should live stream the entire event.

EDIT: This is what you need to download.

What time tomorrow (saturday)?  We need to coordinate this mofo.  I want to see a whoooole lot of BellGabbers there for me to attack with my fully upgraded paladins.

Also, for anyone curious, we could make this a regular occurrence if there's enough interest.  Man I can't wait.

Who takes care of that battlefield lawn?  It's horrible!  Fire him.

This has to be the nerdiest thing I have ever seen on this site. I approve.

But won't anyone think of the time zones? 

[Mind Flayer Monk]

I only have Diablo 3 installed at the moment. I guess I could install WC3 but I completely forgot how to play.

I've never played Warcraft, but I would be down for it sometime.   My favorite RTS game is Total Annihilation.  BTW, just so we're all on the same page, is this the version we should go get off torrent?

too late to join?

no it's not, but we are having trouble with connectivity on curtis's battle.net server he's running on his network... will advise when we figure it out.

with the trouble we're having connecting with one another to play, i'm glad we didn't have a bunch of people who wanted to play right away.

I got the ISO installed using Virtual Clone on my Win7 box but W3C keeps asking me to put the WC3 disk in the cd / DVD drive.

You may not be nerdy enough to play then.

Did you have the right ISO mounted with Virtual Clone when you launched the game? There might be a no CD patch for it, if nothing else.

On a side note, what torrent client are you guys using now a days?  I was using bittorrent from the creator, but the latest version that installed has video ads - ugh.

I use uTorrent, with PeerBlock I get no adz.

Decline the other products they try to push on you during the install, unless you want 2 party apps.

Not so happy with the "bugs" in the user interface as of late, not any deal breakers yet.
When the program is opened it highlights the same torrent in the middle of my list, not the last one I selected. Not being able to resize the sidebar as small as I once had it, so I hid sidebar. Stupid stuff like that. Maybe a reinstall is in order for me, dunno.

Phukk is right! 



Woops, wrong thread.

So who won?

[Bart Ell]

So who won?

When it comes to games being played over the internet by adults there are no winners.

[MV/Liberace!]

So who won?

Details to come on the next Spec Sheet episode. So far the only people who have played together are Curtis and me. Took us a while just to figure out how to get things working without playing through blizzard's servers.

Point taken.

[area51drone]

So it's now worth installing from the iso, or am I still waiting for you guys to get your own server up?

[Kelt]

Have you considered meeting up and just LARPing instead?
