Life is better when you have great friends!

For many years now, I have hosted LAN parties at my house. In the beginning it was throwing any tables together and just gaming it up, and through the years I have obtained enough folding tables for everyone, chairs, 96 switch ports, dedicated server, etc. I usually cook dinner for everyone, and breakfast for those who spend the night.



Last weekend I hosted a LAN, and 20 people attended. Everything was clicking right along, when a friend hushed everyone up, then informed me that they had all thrown hardware or cash together to replace my 5 year old computer with a brand new one!!! Needless to say, I was speechless (and within moments had my old PC un-hooked and was frantically plugging the new one in!)



I wanted to give a heartfelt thank you to everyone who contributed, and to all of those who attend my LAN parties. I always have a blast hosting them, and with my new rig I will have even more fun playing at them. My friends mean a lot to me, and it gives me a warm fuzzy to know I mean a lot to them as well. Thank you all!



For the geeks, here was my goody:

Intel Core 2 Duo (dual 1.86 cores)

2 gigs of DDR2

Geforce 8400GS 256 meg

80 gig SATA drive

ANTEC black tower case and power supply

    That's awesome! I miss my Quake days... Well, I don't miss the lack of sleep but I do miss playing!

    Awsome stuff Justice! I throw monthly LAN parties here at the office for the guys who work for me and my friends. We play strictly on XBOX360 as it seems more accessible for everyone. I think thats one detremental thing with online play, people seem to have lost the art of a good LAN party, they're at least a million times more fun than playing online. Pizzas, Beers and some good old tea bagging action... awsome! (to any of my friends whom might be reading this, I want another LCD for the office, get saving.)
