LAN party
Only ever been to 1 LAN party which was down in Leicester and was a good laugh really. I quite fancy going to another one as it's been a couple of years now, but I'm finding it difficult to find any!
Ideally I'm after a local one, so near Newcastle, but not adverse to travelling. Not after a huge one like i20 etc, anyone got and leads? |

Hmm, maybe with broadband speeds rising, LAN parties have lost their appeal? Personally I liekd the fact that you could shout to people across the room when they killed you!

I know of a few going on in the midlands i.e Uttoxeter in the next few months
Pritsey - Nah mate they still have their appeal. It's the banter, drunken lightsabre fun ( cue Platinum and Bobster et al to come and post pics ) as well as all the random funny things such as config editing while people are on the toliet, phone or gone to tesco to get beers. Ahh LAN *goes in nostalgia mode* I better mail the guys to see if we should go to the next one March.
