Would you come to a LAN Party?

[memory]

I went to Shadow lan on before school started and i cant belive all the sponsers there0.O. Even though we are there to cosplay, i would love to pwn people up on Unreal 2004 in a kaolla su costume like i did before *cough* (i didn't really pwn, but i can now^^.) if you needed a pc i could loan mine. its a alienware. i need a new sound card though^^.
but yeah! i want a LAN! I want a LAN!!!!!!! i have to keep up my girl gammer status^^.

LAN =  Local Area Network  it where computers can talk to eatch other and you can play game with other ppl not over the net less ping let ppl  ^_^

[memory]

you bet ill pwn it up at the LAN so will my bf. :o  :lol:  :lol:

[hybrjon]

the lan would be sweet but what about if someone has an infected computer?
not to mention but there are games that require internet....any thoughts?

[Shin Gouki]

a lan plays game that you can play without the net if you need it you don't play it


then that computer get tost out of the lan  lol  ^_^

I think it should be like a special event one of the days. It would be just like a regular large scale lan party, eveyone brings in their Pc's/Boxes, then we LAN for several  hours, or even half the day, or all ngiht, or something. And when it's over, eveyone packs up their own stuff and takes off. Just like all those ofther big lan events they have around the Silicon Valley. It would be conevintnt for peopel staying in a hotel, or living in San Jose. But yah, it would be nice for those of us who wouldn't need to complicate things or jump hoops in order to bring their gear down.

I'd be up for this idea. Although someone would be required to provide a wireless router + switch (for those without wireless cards)...

i was participating in the CS:S tourny
we got immortally rapped by EFG which was our 3rd game but all in all it was fun

sadly i'm not going to be in SHOWDOWN this year since its during my graduation and i'm not going to choose a messly LAN over my highschool graduation >=3

Is this even going to be done at the 2008 fanime convention? I think it would be a sweet idea, only problem is leaving your computer there. I wouldn't trust my computer being left alone over night. I mean i'm down for it but i'll probably end up bringing my computer back to my room before i leave.

usually LAN parties are held at a private home where the participants usually know and semi trust each other enough and also dont have any compatibilities issues.

I used to do this in college all the time, but instead of PC "boxes" most ppl use laptops nowdays.

then again I'm terrible at FPS games (althought quite fun) and I'm trying to kick the habit of MMORPG... theyre worse than crack and anime combined.

But maybe if u guys want to have a house LAN party.

I'd open my house up... um maybe like in the spring?

You guys could always start a thread in the Gatherings Sub section.

[addy]

could we use the hotel's lan?

[aznmagic2015]

Seeing as alot of people are reluctant to bring leave their comps overnight(I don't blame them...I wouldn't want to do it either) we could get a Internet Cafe to set up comps at fanime. Nobody has to bring anything but it would cost a bit of money and take up alot of space...

[addy]

isnt that what they're doing in the e-gaming room place.

[aznmagic2015]

I thought E-gaming was just arcade games and console

[FinalShadows]

Anyways, if you guys are down for a LAN party together, I wouldn't mind busting out my laptop =)

We would have to figure out what games to hold though, some laptops are pretty slow, and some people have macs o_O

E-Gaming is actually more than just that; along with arcade games and console gaming, there are also tabletop games(Magic, D&D, Apples to Apples, etc.), as well as PC gaming for those wanting to get their fix of Warcraft/Battlefield/Quake/Unreal Tournament/etc.

there was alot of unused space last year in E-Gaming, and i hope they put that empty space to good use for 2008.

They do, but people are usually using them and don't have a variety of games to play anyhow.

That sucks...so getting a Internet Cafe to sponsor a LAN party would help. They could provide tons of games and that would knock out the problem of having a LAN party full of PC's/laptops with no matching games. If they wheel in a server we can have like 50 PC's ready to game. I just hope most people won't be playing WoW there...
