To celebrate the end of the Teen Summer Book Club, we’re hosting a LAN Party. All teens are welcome to play, just bring in your own computer (including your monitor, keyboard, and mouse) or laptop to play! What game, you may ask? Built by Alientrap, a First Person Shooter known as Nexuiz. Based on the ioQuake3 engine, Nexuiz is the continuation of Quake-based gaming. We have DVD’s of our pre-configured version of Nexuiz that, by default, lowers the quality settings to the minimum to allow older computers to play and blood effects are disabled. Please make sure you do have a DVD drive, we don’t have CD’s of the game.
Each team will include six players and will compete in tournament-style gameplay. While you’re not participating in the team based tournament you can participate in the free-for-all tournament, play on the Wii, or just munch on some of the provided snacks. While you are playing, know that the team-based gametypes that are played will include Team Free For All and Capture the Flag.
Registration is at 10 AM on June 26, gaming starts at 11 AM and runs until 4 PM but may run over. Pre-Registration has already started here. It all takes place here at the Alpena County Library’s conference room.
For information about Nexuiz, head on over to Alientrap’s website here.
We recommend you download our pre-configured Nexuiz package here. Quality settings are set to the absolute minimum to help the older computers by default and can be changed in the in-game settings menu. Blood & gore effects are also disabled by default.
