iwuvcookies 0 Report post Posted February 10, 2005 i've never been to one of those functions before. I would if only I knew how to play some kind of game and stick to it and be like a superfreak addicted gamer. I don't think my friends would be interested.

Dawid 0 Report post Posted February 12, 2005 I havn't been to a lan party in several years and pretty much doubt I'll ever be involved in one ever again. I used to enjoy them thoroughly but grown out of them pretty much these days and definately don't have enough time on my hands to participate in one, 4th year college- what a *BLEEP*.

dropout21 0 Report post Posted February 12, 2005 i really was skeptical about them, but when my friends brought their to xbox and a link cable and two copies of halo2... it was awosme. its great cause when you 'own' someone you can taught them right then and there. we stay up all night playing games and if we get tired of it we watch a movie and then back to gaming. it seriously is really fun and you will enjoy it.

Luigi 0 Report post Posted February 20, 2005 Lan parties are lots of fun actually.......Get a big group of people, and make sure everybody has there own computer with them. Sharing computers makes LAN parties less fun...... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
darkmeca 0 Report post Posted February 20, 2005 ya its great i love playing mass starcraft battles or CS, those two games are probably the best for lan parties. But multiplayer games are more fun with people especially when they are close around it gets even more exciting when you kill or get killed. Plus it creates a competitive atmosphere.

Casanova 0 Report post Posted March 8, 2005 Is there a website where LAN parties events are listed by city? Im just done upgrading my computer and want to go to my first lan party. Also, is UT2004 a popular chiase for a game to play there? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
novaforme 0 Report post Posted March 8, 2005 Try Lanpartylocator.com they list all kinds of Lan partys by date, country, city, state. And UT2004 is still really popular for lans. Have fun going to your first lan, i remeber mine and it was fun as hell. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

theRealSheep 0 Report post Posted March 13, 2005 Xbox LANs [XLANs] are the best thing out. As someone mentioned above, it is a lot more fun kicking someones *bottom* that is sitting right next to you, rather than playing over Xbox Live. I've been playing with a group of mates with Halo, Ghost Recon, PGR2 and now Halo 2 - and it just keeps on getting better. All you need is a mate with some networking gear/cables and everyone brings thier Xbox + TV. Piece o' cake. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
