Lan parties were so awesome.

I'd have fond memories a few years ago going down to my local town where myself and a bunch of maties would pay a mesely 10 bucks, and for the whole weekend we'd jam ourselves into killing each other, and co-oping killing others all day and night. It never grew old!

Battlefield 1942 on LAN was so awesome.

Playing such games as Warcraft 3, Call of Duty, Counter Strike, Starcraft, Diablo 2 were just the bomb. I remember teaming up with upto 10 mates against another 10 in the place in Battlefield 1942, all with headsets and all, trying to work out how to capture their flags, it is fun as hell! You got someone saying 'what the hell were you doing!' and a scuffle would break out ahhhh it was fun.

This s*** was the bomb!

Back a few years ago, there were LAN places everywhere in my town. If you couldnt get into one place because it was full, you could go down the road and find another - it was basically LAN city! For about a buck you could get in for an hour and for about 10 bucks you could have the entire day! They also had pool tables, bars and arcade games! (Raiden was da s***!) Good times they were ^_^

Warcaft 3: Reign of Chaos - Bloody, awesome co-op game to play with your maties.

Unfortunatly many have closed down due to low business (seems odd) and just the neighbourhood getting a bit too violent. That was a sad day when we showed up the next week to find it closed a turned into a wog cafe (WTF >_>). Now i seems really hard to find one around, although there are a bunch around - you just look around heaps!

So i've gathered my troops (maties) and proposed that we find a LAN place to get back these good old times, we'll stroll the streets like a hussy gang and hunt every single street till we find one! Hopefully we dont get our asses mugged along the way

If you haven't gone to one before, your sooo missing out. Grab a few mates, hell go yourself even! Either way it's a great place to be among fellow gamers havin a cool time, and givin s*** maybe as well for fragging them a lot

BTW - Did yah's see the new Final Fantasy XIII and Versus trailers? AWESOOOOME. I totally think Versus looks better, and i reckon its a resemblement of Final Fantasy VII - I think the main character resembles a darker version of Cloud, and the female looks like Aeris in the face. I thought they were in Love! Beats me what the story will play out XD

Till next time!

Mazzy.

LAN parties are freaking rad!!
I remember having insane amount of fun playing Counter Strike with my pals years ago.
And yesterday we had another LAN party this time with Left 4 Dead. And memories were revived. Freaking cool game!

FF Versus XIII looks good yeah and it's setting appears interesting but as I have said before I have questions about it's battle system and the influence of KH (which I honestly hate) due to the presence of Nomura. FFXIII is more interesting...SINCE it is the main series game,has a cool setting (nostalgia for FFVIII and FFVII fans) and what not!

1942 was awesome - been a long time since i played that.

FF XIII looks like it will be great.

Diablo II LAN is epic!!

Nah, I prefer the look of FFXIII. I have a bad feeling for Versus, seeing as it's a spinoff...but it should be good. It looks like a prequel or something.

Lighty: Yeah I'm hoping to revive mine next week! FFXIII is looking great as well, i like the FFVIII theme of course

Jim: 1942 is a game i always come back to play, its one of those cool games

Shadow: epic indeed!

I remember lan parties although we set up our own

Good luck in finding a place.

Those trailers are awesome

I agree that Verus XIII loks the better of the 2 so far XD

I liked the background of XIII, but the mood of Versus. I have never been to a LAN place, because there aren't any around my area(for miles and miles).

Never did anything like this. Sounds like fun. Good luck turning back the clock of time. Yes, the trailers are awesome, thanks for sending me the links there, Mazzy.

Never been a part of an LAN party.... I confess, i'm not even sure if there is such a thing around here... but i WAS an arcade junkie when i was a kid... me and my best friend used to whoop each other on MK for hours, and then play some pool when i got too irate hehe.

FFVIII nostalgia FTW!! Can't wait for FFXIII - hope i can finish at least ONE game by then so i don't feel guilty starting a new one

I didn't do it often but I had some fun at a place that let you play games in a LAN party. Pretty fun stuff but XBox Live kinda made it obsolete.

The new trailers for FF13 and Versus look awesome. I can't wait for either. Though I agree that I am a little more excited for Versus. I really like the setting and I am intrigued by the story.
