Considering that it was the first time we’ve done anything like it, Saturday’s LAN party turned out to be rather successful. Not saying we didn’t have any issues, but what would a tech-fest be without technical difficulties? To start with, we weren’t able to get into the room to set things up as soon as we would have liked. Once we were in, the server decided to have video issues. After that was straightened out, there were problems getting the network up. Once that was solved, the game we chose to start off with, wouldn’t connect to the host. Once all was solved, though, we did get started, albeit a little late. The food was good. Hamburgers, hotdogs, chips and soda make perfect accompaniment to gaming.
Of course it wasn’t all just computers and food. The movie room was well used, and those that brought their consoles got to have some fun as well. And for those not wanting to partake in the technological goodness, there was even a room set aside for those who realize that RPG stands for something other than Rocket Propelled Grenade.
Pictures were taken, and they will be posted shortly, possibly even later today, but no promises. (It’s my understanding we’ve even got shots of Mr. Clay getting in on the action.)
