My First Lan Party

[PrayForDeath]

I just came back from my first lan party; it was in Minooka, IL. About 50 people, and all day long. I arrived a day early and camped with the guys there. It was awesome!
The event's organized by a gaming community called Redthor. I got to know them through my brother.
We got so lucky that BF2 demo was released the day before the event, so we spent alot of time playing that game, and it's a great game!
There were tournaments on CSS, UT2K4, CoD, and other games. It was really fun. We won some gadgets such as a corsair double-screwdriver, a case, a t-shirt, fan grills, etc...
Anyway, I just wanted to share my feelings on my first lan party, and I encourage those of you who didn't try it to go and try one, it's not just about gaming, you meet many new people, talk about different things, and see many different experiences.

Well that's what people say, but it's not like I am spending my whole life in Lan parties. And as I said, it's not just about gaming.

Gamers get together & play games on a LAN...

 

[jds2006]

But can't you just have a LAN party at home? Like just connect the computers together or something.

Well.. Cant you watch sports games at home? why do ppl goto baseball games ... etc?

its for added interaction between nerds. and you can actually check on some n00blet if they seem to be haxoring

I might want to goto one of those some day..

A collection of typically male members of the species homo sapien likely never to reproduce.

Hit ALT+F4 for the Lan Party locator.

you log into www.google.com and hit the alt-F4 key...it may take a few times as the LAN PARTY servers are busy mostly.

:beer::beer:

 

[jds2006]

Wait... are you sure? I hit F4 but then google disappeared.

Do I have a virus??? OMG

Guys, I have to ask you to shut up if you wanna talk about nerdiness, because a lan partier is nowhere near the nerdiness of a lifer who lives on internet forums instead of talking to real people.
Seriously, please don't post crap like that.
