If anyone is up for some Quake 3 Arena this weekend on Dreamcast, let me know. |

I'm up for it, but I lag pretty badly on some of the servers due to where my dial-up number is located. |

Looks like the best time for me is tomorrow afternoon (Sunday) around 3-4pm central time or so. I lost some time on Friday on some tasks so I am playing catchup today. Do you have an xmpp/Jabber account? You can hit me up on there to reach me in realtime.
I just play to play, and I am well aware of the advantage difference between say Keyboard/Mouse and a Controller, and Broadband vs Dialup. I try not to pay too much attention to the score and am usually happy to just be playing with a fellow Dreamcast Online player So no worries if you are lagging a bit on dialup. We are all sort of used to it because the Dreamcast is from that early late 90's era of online gaming. |

No I don't have either of those accounts, but that sounds good and as far as I currently know I'll be able to get on around that time .
I also just play to experience the Dreamcast online and have a bit of fun, I haven't really decided if it's worth it for me to buy a Dreamcast keyboard and mouse yet so I'll be using a controller, and regarding the Broadband Adapter unless someone starts independently manufacturing them for a reasonable price or the ones on eBay drop over $100 in price it's just not happening. So I guess it'll be dial-up for me for awhile. |

I'm trying a different California number, but I seriously need to find one closer. Did you see how bad my signal was? |

lol yea you were seriously in the red
Wait you are in Central US right? Finding a different cali number isn't going to help. You need a local ISP. Physical location to the ISP is pretty important with regards to dialup. |

Yes I'm in the central U.S., but what I meant was to find one that works but that was the only one that did, now it's having problems so I'm searching for a closer one. |

Okay man I think I am going to power down for now. Good games We will have to play again once you get some more stuff sorted out with your ISP situation. |

Haha yeah sorry about that, I was very disappointed I couldn't play a good round. I'll keep trying to find a good free one and I'll let you know when I'm able to play again. |
