I've been to one, back in the Quake days (before Quake II). It was fun. I was a modem player at that time, and I was disconcerted to find that I played worse on the lan than I did on a modem: all my reflexes were conditioned on that 250 ms lag. The guys who were used to playing over fast connections, though, were awsome, rocket jumping all over the place, doing all kinds of things that I simply couldn't do over my connection. In deathmatch, they had me for lunch. :p
