Updates Updates Updates
Right so i said when i know infomation you will. So Today we went for a gander around the building that will be hosting GenericoLan and frankly it is much better than i expected. Having large powerful lighting, large sound system, full kitchen, internet, car park, projectors and ample tables and such. Here are some pics (note: it will look slightly different on the day, with all our kit, banners and such.)

Things being confirmed now.
Hello
Right well our team has been very busy recently despite exams and such. However because of the exams i would like to apologise for a few things namely the site www.genericolan.co.uk being on and off and not fully designed and the location and pricing not confirmed.
Well i can tell you that the site is now progressing and online payments have been implemented so you can buy your seats online. Also the price plan is on there, however the site is down at the moment so please bear with us.
The other good news is the location has been finalized, it is in Hemworth, i will have a postcode of the building tomorow i promise. And the price plan is 99% definatly what it will be. (Please note if you do pay now (and its advised you do) and the prices go down you will be fully compensated for the difference)
Any other updates I get i will post on here as soon as i can, so check back at least once a day!

LAN gaming/party
Hello its me again, obviously.
Right well were to start. Its been a busy week, my company (Generico) and my friends company (Joker Gaming) have decidied to pretty much team up and host a LAN gaming event sometime on or as close as we can get to the 20th of June 2009.
We will be playing Battlefield 2 + special forces, Unreal tornement 2004, Command and conquer Generals Zero hour and Call of duty 4. The amount of time spent on each game and even the games themselves have yet to be finalized but i imagine BF2 and UT will be the most played.
Entry should start at around £5 which will get you: A large pizza of your choice, enought fizzy drinks to rot all your teeth, one free game and computer set up assistance.
Then the pricing goes up in tiers and includes more games and finally a t-shirt.
You will need to buy the Platinum package to partake in all the event if you do not already own the games. Please make sure you buy at least the silver package (which has the 2 main games) or you own them before hand.
Also energy drinks such as red bull and mainstream branded drinks will be on sale.
As will computer components to help boost your system or bring it in line with the minimum requirements.
2ghz Sinlge core. Any Dual/Quad core.
1GB ram very minimum, 2GB+ would be good.
A dvd drive.
About 10/15GB spare on your hard drive.
And a 256MB graphics card or better.
Generico staff will be on hand to offer upgrade advice and computer building services should you wish to enquire.
Joker Gaming staff will be on hand to sell games, other optical media and give advise on upcoming titles.
There will also be security as we understand the risk of bringing your computers together with people you might not know.
So if a room of 20+ people playing the same game lag free and having oodles of fun sounds good to you, please get in contact with any Staff of Generico or Joker Gaming.

The aftermath...
Well as you all should know building my WHS went without a hitch, but the software let me down big style so as a result the computer went on ebay. Not that it matters but i sold it to my best friend in the end, and the hard drives went to another friend.
Well now that thats all sorted i can get back to having a bit of cash and what not.
I feel i need to mention carboot sales are ace to make a quick bit of cash, not to sell there but to buy cheap electronics and sell on ebay. For example a DS Lite was on sale for £50, i haggled it down to £40, sold it on ebay for £60 plus p&P! Perfect.
Also i'm now on the hunt for a laptop, as i am starting college soon and figured one would help, plus it saves me lugging around my desktop when i want a LAN party (yes i know i'm a geek)
I was orriginally going to go and buy an acer aspire one off ebay brand new for £190, seems like a good deal right? Well yes if you want a pc for checking emails out and about. But i figured i could not deal with a 9 inch screen and insanely slow proccessing speeds (as im now used to my quad core) so i set my sights (and my budget) a little higher at £499 and pointed my web browser in the direction of www.laptopsdirect.co.uk and found that for that price i can get a 2GHZ dual core, 4GB ram decent mobile graphics, a blu-ray drive and a laptop with DVI, HDMI out and the usual card reader etc! That in my opinion is a good buy and unless prices come down or a new laptop is better, that will be my laptop of choice, this one right here > http://www.laptopsdirect.co.uk/asp/versions.asp?rewrite=Acer_Aspire_6530G_Laptop_LX.AUS0X.142&pagetype=version&page=
Well anyway thats enough from me.
