Multiboxing on the cheap: My guide to the poor man's play.

[WaffleFrie]

So the other day I started thinking....multi-boxing sure is expensive. The average joe might think it's a cool thing to try but doesn't have the money to pay for the subscriptions, the gear, the software. Now, I'm a pro paintball player here, I've been playing for probably over a decade by now. I know how it is, to play with the big dogs, you're equipment can't hold you back. I'm out to find the game for the noobs, the free game that can introduce them to the world of dual(multi)-boxing. It's like an entry level marker, just gives them a taste of the fun to be had.

1. Rigs
   1. 1. The Green Machine
         
         • Asus A7N8 Deluxe motherboard
         • Socket A Athlon 2.5ghz
         • 3 gigs DDR Kingston ram
         • HIS Radeon x1950 pro
         • Aspire 600w psu
      2. Latitude D620
         
         • 4gigs g.kill ddr2 667 ram
      3. Big Blue
      4. Asus P50 pto turbo
         
         • Socket LGA 775 core 2 duo @3.0ghz
         • 4 gigs DDR G Skill ram
         • ultra x3 850w psu
         • Geforce like 9500(must be updated VERY soon)
      5. Screens
      6. 
         
         • Starlogic 17”(right)
         • Acer 17”(middle)
         • D620 screen(left)
         • 
           tv (far right)
2. Software
   1. Synergy
      
      • I mainly use this for working from home, I use it to go between the dt620 and green machine so I can run all of my work shit on the 620 and keep my stuff like pidgin, facebook, movies/tv shows from mauling my vpn and making the network guys scream at me :P. For this experiment though, I'll be using it to switch between the computers as the octopus km is a bit finiky
   2. Octopus
      
      • I'll be using this for games I can't run more than one instance of on the green machine. It'll be my broadcaster for the d620
   3. keyclone
      
      • I'll be using this bad boy for games I can run more than 1 instance of, I haven't really been able to put it through it's paces yet and am waiting for the chance to get my money's worth out of it.
3. The game List

i'm thinking of doing a 3 part review of the games
initial thoughts
playability
final thoughts

after looking through the list a little bit more i've actually already got about 10 games tested...got a bit too drunk lastnight but i'll be back cracking later this morning, i'm going to dl the next game on the list and get accounts made. game list should be up in the next post in a few minutes!
