Birthday LAN PartyAuthor: jawapro

That is probably the most stuff I’ve ever taken to a LAN. Maybe not the largest number of individual pieces (I used to cart an insane number of items in bags before I got the crate) but definatly the largest amount of actual gear etc.
My friend James was having a LAN as a birthday party. Now, James comes from a Mac family – and didn’t have enough PCs (or Windows Macs) for everyone – so I bought my own PC (Phaeton) plus 2 more (Jadesfire and Klutz’s Optimus).
The good news is that it was a Friday night LAN – so I could stay properly late. Unlike the Saturday night Axon LANs.
We played a lot of Farcry – which is great fun in the assault modes. Less fun when one of your team mates decides to kill his team to steal the vehicles which he then crashes into the ocean (Zeke!). We also played a little UT (my Towers of Pain maps got a look in!) and Flatout – but it was mainly a Farcry LAN.
I’d never played Multiplayer Farcry other than the legendary “Road to Raiders” map Henry made. The assault mode is pretty awesome though – and I think I’ll be playing it again. Though I probably won’t be on Zeke’s team.
I ended up calling it a night at about 7 (in the morning). Some of the others had already flaked out and gone to sleep – but I decided I’d play for as long as I could, and then go home to sleep during the day on Saturday. Packing up three computers takes a lot more effort when you’re tired – but I managed somehow.
It was a pretty awesome LAN – with no LEECHING! It’s been ages since I’ve been to a LAN where people don’t Leech – and I love it! Solid gameplay beats leeching anytime.
So thanks for the invite James, and Happy Birthday mate!
