Get your Game On
The weekend is over, which usually causes a bit of remorse, but this particular weekend held the phenomenon of a LAN Party out at peice of real estate that Jeff secured for us. I'm no stranger to the LAN event, but in case you've never been to one, I'll give you some things that I've learned at the events that I have attended:
- When setting up, it is a unspoken law that someone will kill the power to your computer at least once.
- Human males start to escrete a pungent, smelly liquid substance after a few hours of gaming. The odour given off by this substance can become an irritant after a few hours without ventilation, and will become lethal after 12 hours.
- Games that are incredibly fun as a single player, aren't necessarily fun multiplayer.
- Games that are fun for a few hours, are not likely to still be fun after 8 (like Diablo II, right Glen?)
- 500grams of bacon produces more grease than can be held the drip tray found on a table top grill.
- The three beer rule does apply to gaming.
- Nobody shows up with all the software installed
The event was a lot of fun, and I'm thinking that I may want to host my own sometime in the fall. We will see if I can get together a big enough crew of Geekalotious when the leaves are turning.
