LAN fatigue

LAN parties are like the modern equivalent of poker nights. Actually that only holds true in an alternative universe where poker did not make a resurgence in the past five years. Honestly ESPN who watches cards on TV. In any case it is a geek night out with the guys. Get together 10, 1000 or more of your closest friends or perfect strangers, have them BYOC (bring your own computer) and game the night away. Our venue has always been a garage, but I have attended LANs in office buildings and warehouses before. Any space with electricity will do really.

I am a part of a local group (RIC Gamers) that for a long time was putting on LANs once a month. It became a part of my regular routine, one Saturday a month I would pack up my PC in the afternoon, drive out to the site and return home around 1amish full of gaming goodness. This past Saturday was the first Richmond Gamer's LAN I have attended in over a year. It was good to get back into the LAN party swing, but my body was not prepared for 7 hours of pizza and headphones though.

I spent Sunday laid up watching football and playing with my DS. My computer stayed off for the day save for a new hard drive install. I will attend the next LAN night, but only after the memories of the last have faded away, like tattoos and bike racing.

The Chort is blogging now, he is a good friend from NYC who I have been gaming with for a little more than six years. He is the hardcore WoW player in my life. He has been a member of a top 5s team in BG9, was a healer for Aurora, the #1 horde guild (2nd overall) in the US and is currently a healer in the 64th overall guild in the US. Expect some good WoW postings if he can keep up with the project in between raids.
