After 11 hours of almost straight gaming it turned out to be a blast.
We ended up playing the games that I talked about. Armagetron Advanced worked well after I got it configured right. And they liked it a lot. Even though I kept beating them.
Bzflag was also a success like usual. We played mostly capture the flag. That geno flag comes in pretty handy.
Just a little time with one tripled my score in one round. But Vince beat me on the other rounds.
We also played Enemy Territory, where at the end my team, being Vince and I, spectaculary lost the whole campaign by just seconds on every map. The missions are meant to have more then just two per team; but it was fun anyways. My friend told me after that he had a lot of fun beating my at a computer game for once.
