    Would anyone be interested in a small LAN party, St Albans?

    I'd just like to gauge interest at the moment, anything actually happening would be a little while off. St Albans is just North of London if you've geographically miscalculated. Can't imagine numbers potentially being more than 20.

    Re: Would anyone be interested in a small LAN party, St Albans?

    yes, interested but with the usual caveats - depends when, what games etc... and whether everyone else is a pro-gamer. That would be no fun for me at all dying before my meagre rig lets me spawn... This might help focus my mind on ordering the upgrades, though I was kinda waiting for the custom 290s to come out.

    Re: Would anyone be interested in a small LAN party, St Albans?

    I could be, especially as I missed one last weekend. However, I'm very much a casual gamer and the last ones I've been going to have been more a social occasion than an organised gaming fest.

    Never been to a lan then.

    Just keeping a reasonably solid net connection is often a challenge let alone gaming or having to deal with people trying to consume plenty of VOD!

    Yeah. Last Uttoxeter LAN I went to I couldn't even browse HEXUS properly. And IIRC the connection had been upgraded compared to the year before!

    I might be interested, depending on the game list.

    Also willing to take passengers anywhere between here and there for a small contribution towards the fuel.

    thanks, I might need to take you up on that. Unless there's a londoner driving out - which may be easier for you if you don't have to come in and then out of the M25 again.
