  • Many different servers from stock gameplay to whacked out mods

Changes from last event (for past attendees):
  • Switch back from CS1.6 to CS:S (due to low turnout)
  • Quiet-time at night so you can get some sleep (no more annoying announcements)
  • We have worked with the Firehall for repaired internet access for late-night online gaming, web surfing, and Facebook-ing.
  • Various internal infrastructure improvements to ensure events run smoother and scheduled entertainment begins on time.

On the fence for this.

Only thing I could bring is a PS3 with GT5 but I have always wanted to attend a lan party.
 
The LAN is less than one week away. We're over 100 registered gamers, and the prizes keep flowing in. I've put a list in the first post, just look at all that gear!
