will there be internet?

If not you should set up some kind of small connection that only can be used if needed, for such things as having problems with steam, then when they are done using it disable it or what not.

We're trying however nobody wants to pay $50 for a limited EVDO plan.
If Will Francis comes to this one we can hook his card up but other than that we're hacking a proxy which is unreliable.

I think that the internet wont be worth the trouble. Hopefully we wont have problems with people not having all the proper steam updates.

Also, would anyone be interested in a Project Gotham Racing 3 tournament? It doesn't have to be official or anything, but it would be nice to know if anyone else will be playing it.
