Anti-climatic Game Time

This morning, Dad, Dave, and I tried playing Age of Empires. Dad thought he would have lag problems as we started, but it ended up being Dave with the connection problems. Just under 90 minutes into the game, Dave started lagging badly. We waited for it to clear up, but it didn't, Dave was enough there to not get kicked out, but not enough there for the game to do anything. 45 minutes later, Dave finally disconnected and the game started moving, but 15 seconds after that, we got an "Out of Sync" error and the game closed. I guess we'll have to try again some other time...
