4/5: Big lan party
For those who don't know -- which probably means everyone older than, say, me -- A "lan party" is where gamers get together at a common location to play multi-player networked games. People bring their own system and plug in when they arrive. Tyipcally the group could number anywhere between 3 and 50 people, but the number is typically limited by the resources at hand, since obviously everyone needs power and space and a network. The party shown was the largest ever in Britain, with over 900 players, and was held at a racetrack. Price of admission was L70 (over $100 US). Has anyone here ever been to a lan party? Anyone ever hold one? We're seeing the birth of a new phenomenon here... the practice has only been around for a few years. |
