<div class="IPBDescription">urgh.... sleeeeep.</div> I'm something of a LAN ****.

From the hours upon hours of games that are at my disposal, to the insane download speeds (10Mbps anyone?) LAN's are fun for everyone involved.

Probably my most favourite type of LAN is getting a few of my old school mates and holding a 24hr LAN party for 8 people.

God... we hardly play any new games either.....

Here's a list of the games I can REMEMBER playing:
Red Alert 2
Midtown Madness 2
Raven Shield
Half-life: Suprise
Codename: Eagle

I also managed to fill 40Gb of space somehow...

Bad things about 24hr LAN's:
- I am absolutely wasted.
- I don't feel like talking to anybody
- I think I still owe people money... but I can't remember who and how much....

    Good job, Infy. Next time try soda, instead of alchohol. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

    How do you figure? It's so much more enjoyable to actually be around the people you're playing with/against.

    And 24 hours? pfft. 2 weeks, man. 2 weeks.

    Wrong. I have adsl and enjoy LAN parties very much. They do get even lower pings and you can paly some pretty bandwith-hungry games. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Apparently you can get drunk on water.

    Providing you drink enough of it!

    Perhaps, try giving blood beforehand, start extracting oxygen from the room and deprive yourself of air... stuff like that. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo--> That quite drunk, but wasted.

    Just... Hold your breath until a few seconds before you pass out. Actually, tie a rope around your neck. It works better. <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo-->

    My best is about 5 days constantly. Only taking breaks for the toilet or food.

    Then following that for about the next 4 days we were doing a few hour sessions of gaming a day, being all sleep deprived and drunk <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Heh Infinitum, sounds pretty fun.
    I went to my local LAN place last Sunday. It was the first
    time I had ever set foot in a LAN place so I wasn't sure what
    to expect. Luckily I was with a friend and we just paid the bloke,
    sat down and had a browse of what games were installed.
    There was a nice list, everything from Operation Flashpoint, to
    Raven Shield and Enemy Territory. But no Natural-Selection <!--emo&:0--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wow.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wow.gif'><!--endemo-->

    For some odd reason there were only about 5 people in the LAN
    place at the time, 3 of us were actually on a game and 2 were talking
    to each other. Myself and my friend were playing Counter-Strike and
    Day Of Defeat against each other (no bots installed and we couldn't be
    bothered to hunt down a server) and the final person there spent
    his entire time on that Habbo Hotel thing.

    So it was a little disappointing, paying ?2.50 for something I could have
    done in the comfort of own home.
    But it's probably alot better when there's more people, probably ever
    better with people you know.

    Nothing beats a home-made LAN party. When friends bring together computers = win!

    Just prepare the following:
    - Dissapereance of parents for a week
    - Food and drink
    -Paid electricity bill

    You know what's good for all-nighters of all sorts, or any occasion when you need to be fully concentrating? A little something I concocted called Deathbreath Coffee. It's very simple. One teaspoon of coffee, about a third of a teaspoon of these chilli potato seasoning thingies. Nothing like raw, unbridled pain to keep you on your toes.

    Wooo, LANs

    My beloved LAN is of course <a href='http://www.quakecon.org' target='_blank'>Quakecon</a> (and no, its NOT just quake). LANning is great, but LANning and getting to hobnob w/ id Software, Raven Software, and co. just takes the pwn cake. :D

    *urgh*

    I'm still recovering from this thing... the fact that I worked 8hrs straight didn't help....

    For some odd reason I can't stop listening to the following songs...
    Antiloop - In My Mind
    Antiloop - Purpose in Life
    Antiloop - Start Rockin'

    SAVE ME JEEBUS

    Mm...

    We've got something down here called WALan. 500+ geeks packed into some giant venue. The... last or second last one was my first LAN of any kind, actually. It seemed that people were mostly interested in leeching off each other and IRCing. There was a bit of Quake 3, a bit of CS, a TFC server or two (with a handful of people on)... but mostly leeching. Leeching EVERYTHING. Is that common LAN phenomenon? It was boring as hell...
