I spent several hours today trying to get a multiplayer game of Warcraft III to work. There's a map called Sunken City that looks like a lot of fun that's designed for three players, so schoolpsychnerd and I roped in ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
uriany to play with us, but we ad to jump through all kind of hoops. First they had to update their games to 1.28, which broke and required them to delete the game and completely reinstall. Then I had to set up port forwarding to allow uriany to successfully see and join the game. Then, when I figured out everything that was wrong and we had finally all joined and gotten the map started...uriany got dropped out of the game. Twice.
Remember when we had to put up with this every time we tried to play games online? At least I didn't have to set my IRQ.
On the other hand, we got to eat lunch withdaveax! He's in town visiting family and had a lunch free today, so we met him downtown at Vermillion, a Latin/Indian fusion restaurant near where I work. That was lovely and I'm glad we did that first so I wasn't in a bad mood before we went to lunch.
Now, to cap off the day, we're watching Laser Time play through the first hour and half of Metroid: Other M (THE BABY THE BABY THE BABY THE BABY). Now that Metroid Prime 4 has been announced, it doesn't sting so badly.
