Has anyone ever been to a LAN party? if so details :cool:
Any one know of a good website to check out the possibility of some LANS around the mid east coast. Small LANs count too!

haha, yea that's so true. Geeks will be geeks :thumbsup:
I've been to a couple LANs, ranging from 25 people up to 1000 people. The 1000-person LAN was a bit too much tho... hunching over a computer for 3 days in a giant warehouse leeching... err, stuff... and of course the occasional game-playing.
Smaller LANs are the best tho. It's more personal ;)
I went to a couple official LAN parties last year... Mostly a CS party and that's wut I played last year but there were some other games. They have lots of tournaments and prizes etc...

It's nowhere near you... but it's a cool event for the most part.
There are a couple LAN cafe's around and also a LAN held at the local College every so often.
Usually just me and some of my friends from school play all night at one of our houses, it's still a blast w/ only like 2 people, lol.

I remember hearing about the Million Man Lan some time ago.
My goal in life, however, is to attend QuakeCon at least once :loco: And E3... maybe next year...
