In Response To: Update from *Ar-Isildur Memorial/Lan Party (guy who doesn't post....too often) : Just got back from Brian Morden's house where his parents were so gracious to : host a HUUUUUUGE Lan Party in memory of Brian. : The Memorial service started at 5:00 p.m., with absolutely wonderful speeches : from Brian's best friend Brian Johnson, and his father, Fred. Miguel : Chavez, Frogblast and Count Zero all took turns reading some of the more : eloquent posts from this forum when the news of Brian's passing was made : known to us by his younger brother, *Ar-Anarion (Jamin). Miguel told the : audience about Brian's patented <3 sig and finished his eulogy by : exposing his undershirt with that same love symbol in a superman like : outline. The crowd loved it. Brian's best friend and his younger brother : played their respective brass instruments (slide-trombone and french horn) : for the congregation before and after the service and their accompaniment : afterwards gave us a truly WOWing performance worthy of a King. I have : never been so close to crying as many times as I was during Brian's : father's speech, his resolve to fight onward with the battle against : adolescent bone cancers is admirable beyond words. Brian's mother has an : undying love for her son that seems to only have been strengthened by his : passing. I can only hope that if such a malady struck me, my family could : be as loving and supportive as Brian's. : Now for some more fun news.....The Lan-party was pure mayhem. We had about 22 : players with ages ranging from 8 to however old Miguel is ;). We luckily : had four xboxes and three tvs. The coolest part of the night had to be : seeing Miguel's projection TV in all it's glory. My quarter of the screen : was about the same size as the 32inch television next to the wall we used : as our screen. I have never felt so glorious. With everything from CTF to : KOTH to an all rockets frag-fest in damnation, the night was filled with : screams and howls from all parties, whether playing or spectating. At one : point we all got together to make a special picture in memory of *Ar and : Miguel will hopefully post it shortly. : Getting to meet Miguel and Frogblast(who played the whole night as : "DogCast" :) ) : and count zero(mark levin) was a wonderful experience. Now i can put names : with faces and personalities with them both. I will remember this night : for its' sadness and tragedy, and for its fun and fellowship. Brian, we : will miss you always and thank you for letting us have a little of your : sunshine :) : <3 forever Sounds like it was a great service for a great guy. excellent cheap shot at miguel, hbo should relinquish the title. that's a sweet projector, team hbo (the original one) practiced at his house before the igames tournies. i always got a headache after using it for too much time. watching dvds on it is awesome too. what kinds of games did you play and how did they turn out?
