First Commodore 64 LAN Party 224
Leif_Bloomquist writes "The world's first Commodore 64 LAN party was held at the Cincinnati Commodore Computer Club 2008 Expo last weekend, where the new multiplayer C64 game NetRacer was unveiled. The setup consists of up to eight Commodore 64s with Ethernet cartridges and a central server written in Java running on a PC. The game is also playable over the Internet."

btw, http://www.c64web.com/ [c64web.com] [c64web.com] is hosted on a c64.
And after posting that on /., there is now one less functioning c64 in the world.

Is that site painfully slow because it's been Slashdotted or because it's running on a C64 ;) ?
More importantly, what happens when a C64 gets Slashdotted, does it start chewing up tapes or melt or anything?

Based on my past C64 experience, the power supply overheats and the system shuts down. I was always trying to look for a power supply that didn't overheat. Sometimes putting a glass of ice water on top of it helped it not overheat.

* so I take it that no one could cough up the highest Crysis framerate figure? (yes, I know, I KNOW! ...but it seems to be all-to-common for LAN-goers to brag on framerates these days).
* Finally! I can bring my machine-du-jour and not have everyone stare at it funny because it's not a Windows box! (I always brought either a Linux box or a Mac).
* How d'ya taunt on chat in the thing? "'LOAD * 8,1' this, n00b!" doesn't quite have a ring to it, y'know?
* How many LED's and uber-liquid-cooling heatsink rigs can you jam into a C-64 case, anyway?
* Well, rebooting would still be just as common...
