I think it goes without saying that we will all be on IOL playing ..... all weekend. My drinking will be taking a turn for the worse in order to accomadate more Battlefield Vietnam playing time. Less beer more Vietnam.

I will have mastered the Heli's and jets by Friday night so you better watch out

done it enough times. Depending on how fast im drinking it can start to have an effect upon my skills. Also you can play for so long and drink so much that you end up playing "Drunken Battlefield". An amusing sight to all.

Very tempting still nevertheless. Will have to stock fridge up with beer.

cept for bizmark who is being a muppet and i think is holding off on purchase due to his semi working computer.

drinking in front of the computer, well i already eat dinner there sometimes and drink lots of tea but the amount of hours im logging on the computer these days the mother would kill me.

Mother: Who are you drinking with data?

Data: People from the internet

Mother: WTF?

or something along those lines

Its currently set as a 16 man server, but I'll review that once I see it running with a full game.

whats the point though you'll have to download the patches anyway and i doubt a bug will make the game completely unplayable
