Longest, Largest LAN Party
Have to say the largest one I have ever been to started out with 8 people and within 3 hours we had 25 or so there. We started out with the original CS, then played a few variations, people called, we called others and by the time all was done and said I had people in my living room, in my garage, in the dining room and had cables stretched all the way down the hall to the spare room. Wife was NOT happy. from start to finish I think the last few people left (leaving me with 2 things I did not want, An Angry Wife, and one heck of a mess) it lasted almost 2 days.
People were sleeping in my room taking a break. some would leave, get food or drink and come back picking up where they left off. We had all kinds of games going though. Starcraft, Starwars, NeverWinter Nights, Team Fortress, Age of Empires, Age of Mythology CS (1), there was so much going on it got to be real bad at times. Starwars had so much Lag it was just a nightmare. It was the first to go out. Age of Empires was next, then Mythology. It got down to CS (1), Team Fortress and Starcraft. I think almost everyone there brought in someone we didn't know and we quickly teamed up against them to welcome them in.
And as said prior, this thread has made me want to get another lan party together. I don't know as many people around here but I think I should be able to get about 15 or so here for the long weekend ahead. Thank you.
