Quake / LAN party communication

Rock On

> I'm planning on setting up a LAN party at my house this upcoming Christmas. If I'm lucky, I might be able to set up three or more machines to play Quake 2 on a Tastyspleen server. However, the machines we're playing on are likely to be set up in different rooms of the house, and we need a way to communicate verbally while we play. The land line phones in my house have an intercom feature, but because other people are likely going to be using those phones to make actual phone calls while the games are going on, relying on their intercom feature is not really a practical way of communication. I'm considering buying a set of walkie talkies or CB radios or something of that nature for LAN parties, but I don't have the first clue as to what to get. If anyone could offer up some advice, that would be great.

This is just too funny not to share. Excerpted from an article which appeared in The Dublin Times about a bank robbery on March 2.

Once  inside the bank shortly after midnight, their efforts at disabling the security system got underway immediately. The robbers, who expected to find one or two large safes filled with cash & valuables, were surprised to see hundreds of smaller safes throughout the bank.

The robbers cracked the first safe's combination, and inside they found only a small bowl of vanilla pudding.

As recorded on the bank's audio tape system, one robber said, 'At least we'll have a bit to eat.'

The robbers opened up a second safe, and it also contained nothing but vanilla pudding. The process continued until all safes were opened.

They did not find one pound sterling, a diamond, or an ounce of gold. Instead, all the safes contained covered little bowls of pudding.

Disappointed, the robbers made a quiet exit, each leaving with nothing more than a queasy, uncomfortably full stomach.
