I prefer the smaller LANS as everyone gets to chat to everyone else. With the bigger LANS, you do not have this ability as there is over 1000 people there and your bound not to bump into 1 or 2 people.
My first LAN was actually at the gameon LAN a few years ago where I met Platinum, Betty, Bobster and a few other GO lanners that are on here as well.
Did I enjoy it? Yeap - that's why I went back for another 3 LANS after that. It's a shame I've been so busy last year with work and play (read that as festivals) as I missed out on a few LANS, but this year I want to make up for that
Plat - get the roofrack out
