The Hobbit Hole III - Journey to the Cross-roads!

Posted on 12/17/2002 7:32:02 AM PST by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

Journey to the Cross-roads

The Two Towers Edition

Come on! Come in! -if you would like to have some seedcakes and a pint and relax a while. (If it is a special occasion, we still have a few bottles of the old wineyards left!)

Our first thread ( New Zealander builds Hobbit hole ) reached 4,100 posts, and we thought that was big. Our second thread (The New Hobbit Hole ) held us for over 48,000 posts, and we loved it dearly. We talked about moving to a new thread for the last 38,000 posts, but we are really slow to muster! Finally, the time has come. Tomorrow (at 12:01 am, to be precise!) The Two Towers comes out, and we start a new chapter.

There's something to be said for peace through superior firepower.

I'm hooked on the Briton's longbows. The neighbors don't even get close to my walls. :)

So there's at least for of us who are playing this game......I wonder what we'd have to do to get a game up between the four of us.

I'll check out the manual when I get home.

That's true, you are natural-born sprinters.

Shouldn't be hard. Just have to do the IP connection thing. Whoever started the game would need to give everyone else their IP address, and if all went well we'd all get connected up pretty easily. I've only done it with my brother, though...never done more than two way.

I was poking around and I guess you can have multiplayer games at places like MS's The Zone.

I'm looking there now and all you need is a ".Net Passport" ID. You can get one here.

The all you do is get into one of the AOEII rooms, have the CD in your drive, and join the hosts table. The host launches the game, and off you go.

If anyone wants to do this, why don't we pick a time and date. I think Bear is the only one in a different timezone, other than that we shouldn't have too much difficulty.

Anybody game?

I don't got the CD. Like I said, when we upgrade, maybe we'll purchase it and join in the fray.

I'm game, but my evening schedules are crazy. Will have to play by ear.

Is that painful?

Musically, I'm quite good at it. But getting the earlobe near the trackpad on the laptop gets interesting...

I'm willing to check it out and give it a try, but I'm not sure yet what my schedule will be over the next couple of days.

In Central Time Zone here.
