Some sick prizes right there. Especially seeing as I'm a major contender for both UT and CS (though, looking at the registration list, I'm going to have a couple major challenges).

Sweet or what? Especially considering I'm only running on 2x256mb Corsair XMS3200 =D

(Oh and I'm not too bad at DDR, too. I might place 3rd, I doubt it though.)

Dance Dance Revolution? ;D

160 people for two days straight? Doesn't it get a little stinky in there?

Also liked this part from the LAN rules:

We reserve the right to use force as a last resort to bring fights to an end

Are there actual fistfights at LAN parties? What is there to get that worked up about?

Hehe, nah it mostly smells fine ;D

...as far as fights go..

There have been. I mean, I've seen fights break out in pizza parlors. But even so...

Sometimes you get really worked up, especially when you're playing a game you've been practicing (especially considering the prizes)... if you play in CALeague and stuff, you tend to feel it more than the average player... and what might happen is you lose or whatever, you freak and yell a threat, they take it to mean something, you feel necessary to stand behind your words, etc...

...it's just childish stuff (like always), and Pittco has always been free of fights. They just want to make sure nothing DOES happen.

EDIT: Oh yes, I forgot to mention 99% of CS players are immature morons who think CS means something real ;p

Is drinking alcoholic beverages alowed at those big lan parties?

The prizes are sweet. I thought about coming to take pix but someone might start a fight because the flash made them blink.
