    Not really . . More and more ive been to, have a projector or some sort of big screen, then the likes of guitar hero, mario kart, multiplayer NES games etc etc.

    Also leech away its what I do when im there, (albeit it not usually for the pr0n, more for t.v shows and movies I cant be bothered to download!)

    Anyway, I was referring to the MAC people... I suppose Intel will be allowed. For one night only.

    Wow, never expected this much response

    Sadly for me, you've all started talking geek, which I don't understand... (I don't even know what a LAN is, but I knew it was geeky and something which may apply to some people here)

    Just Say it'll be fun and that's good enough for me

    LAN - Local Area Network.

    A bunch of geeks get together with their PCs and play games, like over the internetz but locally on a network in someones front room (or large warehouse, whatever) instead... so HEADSHOTTTTT rings out in stereo as you take your best mate down.
