Guest Akito Posted January 12, 2002 Posted January 12, 2002 Do any of u ppl who seem to play video games ever go to a LAN party?
Chaos Posted January 12, 2002 Posted January 12, 2002 *scrathes head* Um, is that a technical term? If so, can you simplfiy it? I'm not good with tech. crap, so I might go to a LAN party and not know it... Eheh. Local Area Network? A ripoff of MGS's ripoff? Eheh...
*GaLxY-GiRl* Posted January 12, 2002 Posted January 12, 2002 I think I remember my friend telling me about something called a [i]LAN party[/i]. Isn't it when a bunch of kids (or people) get together, and play video games for money?.... Like, bet each other? If not... I have no clue. Umm.. and no, I've never been to one.
Shy Posted January 12, 2002 Posted January 12, 2002 [SIZE=1]A LAN party is a party where people bring their computers to someones house where they connect them to play games against eachother over a local network. By doing this the slowdown one might normally have while playing a game over the net is reduced drastically. I have been to one, but I didn't play any games. I was too busy watching a movie, I can't remember which one though. Hmm...[/SIZE]

They all play Grand Theft Auto 3 against each other..... I suppose they've installed the game into about 6 computers (six guys), and have linked them together using the network neighborhood? Hmmmm... LoL. Coolies.
Red Posted January 12, 2002 Posted January 12, 2002 [B]I've played LAN games at the place I work during the summer and at school. In Korea there was recently a games tournament where the grand prize was £250,000. Korean master gamers are treated like royalty over there[/B]

Guest Matt Posted January 12, 2002 Posted January 12, 2002 GTA3 is on the computer? i thought it was only for PS2, and it's a 1 player game for PS2....

[/B][/QUOTE] Yeah.... They either installed it off of a cd, or downloaded it off the web.... I'm not sure which, but I did see one kid running around to different computers, with a cd in hand. So....
Cibo Posted January 12, 2002 Posted January 12, 2002 My friend plays wolfstein at a LAN party. I'm not much into wolfstein so I don't go with.
Guest Akito Posted January 12, 2002 Posted January 12, 2002 I go to a LAN party every Saturday night now. It's really fun, we play CS, watch anime, and pass around info bout new games/anime.

I am really rubbish though...
RicoTranzrig Posted January 12, 2002 Posted January 12, 2002 There are a lot of those in Asia...as for a local LAN party...I usually get my tower or laptop with my own ethernet card/wire and head over to my friend's house which has a space dedicated to his computer...it takes a while to set up...but it is a lot of fun...especially for FPS games.
Red Posted January 12, 2002 Posted January 12, 2002 [B]LAN rules because it can go at 2mb a second easily with 30 people playing half-life etc. Counter Strike is brilliant over a LAN[/B]
The One Posted January 13, 2002 Posted January 13, 2002 [B]It's true, Counter-Strike rules on LAN, however I don't have any where that I can play LAN games, so I've never properly participated in a BIG LAN game.[/B]
Guest Akito Posted January 13, 2002 Posted January 13, 2002 The most ppl i've played with at a LAN party was 50 ppl. Good thing it was during the winter, cause it got hot in the building we were playing in.
