No. I take my Xbox 360 to LAN parties or I get together online and play together with the PC. Too much stuff. If I had a legitimate gaming laptop it wouldn't be a burden.

Slow news day huh?

Absolutely! I just hosted a LAN party at my house on Saturday. There is nothing like the having all the gamers in the same room.

I've got a full tower Thermaltake Armor+ loaded down with stuff. I'm terrified it will someday cave in the floor and kill my downstairs neighbors. The thought of moving it anywhere is... well, terrifying. Unless I could rig a moon rover kind of dolly for it, that would be very fun.

definitely. either my desktop, monitor and the rest of my garb or just the laptop. depending on how bad i feel like pwing my friends.

i have a spare cables, a mouse, and a keyboard all laid out for it so i dont have to mess with my wiring every time

Nope never even seen a LAN party lol yea I'm lame XD are we supposed to like bring our own monitor/keyboard/mouse/CAT cables and everything? How about a UPS?

I don't go to true LANs, but I bring my PC to my friend's almost every weekend and we play together online w/other people. I just can't get enough people to play with just the people there.

used to take the mid tower and crt to the party. Now i got gateway fx laptop, and nobody has lans round me anymore. Still good to be portable, to an extent.

Yes. Lame QOTD?

Are you kidding me? Instead of going to prom, I hosted a massive lan. People were dragging their antec nine hundereds from miles away. Somebody brought a projector. And I shlep ALL my gear when somebody else hosts.

uhmm....

no...i take my rice cooker and a lamp shade to LAN parties...DUH!!!!!

Yes.

I haven't yet, but I plan on attending some when I finish upgrading my rig.

Why is this a lame QOTD mwinfie? Maybe they are thinking about doing a LAN Party System Builders Marathon? wink wink?

Anyway, yes, I take my PC to Lan Parties now and then. It kinda stopped when COD4 came out on Xbox two years ago, but has picked up again now that my friends and I are playing Starcraft again (preparing for Starcraft II multiplayer, a clan can become a serious pursuit). Also, DOW started back up for me and my friends again when DOW2 came out.

my laptop

Not in a long time. With broadband it's not necessary anymore. Getting everyone to agree on which game to play was difficult and it's much easier to find compatible players online. With Skype, TeamSpeak, or any SIP client, it's not necessary to be in the same room. The only disadvantage is that you can't just reach over an punch someone who is cheating

There is (almost) nothing better than a PC LAN party. Been doing those for about 4-5 years now (since I built my first gaming PC). We used to LAN BF2 and CS:S all the time but have slowed up a bit due to people moving away, or being too busy to play (I know, how is that possible). =/ A few MMORPGs that we bounce in and out of are played as well. (EQ1, Vanguard:SOH, Warhammer)

Alienware M15X..., CHECK..., I'm there

Haha. Of Course I do. Its a tradition amongst my friends. We meet up once a month for L4D, CoD4, Q3, etc. In between those times we get together via Steam.

Usually twice a year. However, it is a very small LAN party with a bunch of friends, not a huge one.

I'd like to have sex face to face at least let technology let us have hot girls...

I run 200+ people lans where I live. That takes up a lot of my free time and I hardly go to other lans

Oh... about the question... Never been to a LAN party, dont know what its like, since I dont know where any are held near me, never will. I just game online, its still enjoyable.

This country needs bigger and more internet cafes. Countries in asia have like internet cafes with at least 20 coms every 50ft. You could just seat anywhere and join a game. Mostly people play DOTA in the Philippines. People shouting, cussing and occasionally turning into a fist fight. How I miss those times.

check some info about it: http://www.gossipgamers.com/dota-p [...] d-pc-game/ or google it whatever if u dont like linking

of course I do,

LAN nights are the best kind of gaming

LAN party ! Springs so many memories into mind... Used to bring all the setup but got irritated at the thought of having to reconnect the whole thing afterwards. I solved the issue, I bought a nice laptop to fill in this specific need. I now only bring me laptop at those lans, sometimes I will bring in a screen though but not more than this.

How else are you suppose to leech TB of data if you don't bring your rig?

yes, but i wish there was more emphasis on security and keeping track of the hardware. i'll be at Quakecon this year.
