LAN Events
Here’s a bunch of general information about our LAN event. You can find more specific information in the info bar along the top of the page.
Event Information
We’re hosting a LAN event in the RCH 307 from 11 am to 11:59pm on Saturday May 28th. Everyone is welcome. For those that don’t know what a LAN party is, it’s essentially an organized gathering of computer game players, and we’ll all play together in one room. You get the advantage of having a fast connection speed to the other players, and instead of yelling at them over the internet you can just walk up to them and yell instead! If you like PC games, you should come by.
We’ve run four very successful events during the last three terms, with over 50 people at peak attendance levels. The event this term is going to be very similar, we expect all sorts of games to be running all day.
Desktop computers
We know the university is probably pretty far away from you, and if you plan on bringing a desktop that could be a bit of a pain.
Food
We will be providing pizza and pop around 12:30pm and 6:30pm. We’re only attempting to break even on the food, so don’t worry about it being too expensive. You can expect to pay around a dollar to a dollar fifty for a slice of pizza, and around 50 cents for a pop.
Help out
If you’d like to help us out, the short version is bring extra equipment, and help us plan in the planning topic on our forums. For the longer version, check out this page.
