Artemis is the only multiplayer-only game that simulates a spaceship bridge by networking several computers together; preferably in the same room. One computer runs the core of the sim and handles its main screen, whereas the others serve as terminals for the normal (yet quite fictional) jobs a bridge officer might do: Helm, Communication, Engineering, Science and Weapon Control.
Aaron from Leviathyn held another successful LAN party last weekend, and he wants to help you make yours as awesome as possible while saving you some time and aggravation.
Biggest tip I have for a LAN party is get everyone to agree on a core bunch of games you all play and some alternatives to keep it fresh BUT make sure everyone is patched up before they arrive. I've spent a few LAN parties helping those who turn up unprepared who fire up their systems with games requiring large patches (we often just set up a shared drive with all the latest patches and add-ones available) or have large Windows updates they have ignored for months that require restarting and then restarting again and again etc or they just don't have the games installed at all! It wasted their time and those at the LAN who then help them out. One guy turned up once with a completely broken OS which resulted in a format.
Gaming has been a way of life for many in this day and age. In fact, many gamers dedicate so much of their time to gaming that it becomes hard to get anything else done. Despite this, many have become so accustomed to their own genres and series that there are still many games that those people don’t know exist that are, in my humble opinion, both fun and unique. The three games marked on this list are rather impressive, yet lack the fandom they deserve. As such, I have taken it upon myself to show off these games to the world, so more people could better enjoy what they have to offer.

"We have noticed that things have been looking more at the negative side of gaming, so we decided to bring things back to business as usual. It is also worth noting that this week’s show runs a little longer than normal, since we weren’t around last week. The entire crew is here for the show: Jeff, Luke, Dave and Ian. This week we focused more on games, gaming, and what we have been up to."
