What are your stories? I'm sad I haven't had such parties for a long time, and a lack of PC games with co-op doesn't help it too. But I still treasure these times me and my friends wasted whole nights playing high on cola and doritos, and I wonder if me, now an adult, can reproduce a bit of that with my current non-playing friends, their spouses, children, etc. Just a general nostalgia and 'what-to-play-now' thread.

I unintentionally deleted the original post, sorry.

A real test to see if anyone recognizes who I am, with people's faces cropped away.

Our 16 player LAN when Halo 3 dropped, it went for 4 straight days.

A tarp outside of a garage with a giant Halo 3 symbol on it

2 CRT tvs on an old table in a garage playing Halo

Mess of Xbox 360 power cables strewn about on the ground

Premium Stadium seating. (Notice the air conditioning on the upper right) Stacked stadium couches

We brought these heavy things in, they were the biggest we all had put together. 3 CRT TVs in a row, surrounded by people

Everyone had one of these linksys guys somewhere, and of course the most critical piece of hardware goes on the ground in the middle Top notch Linksys gear

If your mom had a costco member ship you were immediately on soda duty

A tower of empty 36 packs of soda reaching to the ceiling

Kids: you were lied to when you were told the internet was the best way to play with people. These are memories I'll cherish forever
