We would usually get about 20 - 30 people showing up at some dudes house. We would play CS, Warcraft, Age of Empires, Quake, UT, and Rune. (there was also the obligatory music/software/porn trading that goes on at all LAN parties). Usually we would rent a couple tables, rent a generator to supplement power (used to blow fuses all over the place with that many people) and pick up a couple cases of mountain dew/beer/bawls. I really miss doing the LAN thing, but most of those guys have grown up/moved away. Also, back then, DSL and Cable were just starting to be put in here in Milwaukee and it was still uber expensive. These days eveyone has a high speed connection, and voice chat (voice chat didnt exist a few years back), so playing over the internet is A LOT better than it used to be. Nation, I am already on so many social networking/online dating sites its crazy. Myspace, Consumating, Facebook, Friendster, OKCupid, Textamerica... and those are just a few I can name of the top of my head! Sean, I did the same thing!!! haha Patch, we would love to get an audio question. I think its been something like 20 episodes since we got one! We used to LAN all the time.

Sheesh. Patch-E and his brothers' buddies won the CS:Source tournament at the LAN party I dropped in on for a few hours on Sunday. It was the first LAN I'd ever been too and I didn't really bring anything that could play games other than my DS and PSP, but I'm definitely planning on attending the next one -- it looked like fun!

Talk about Viral Marketing, I have been having a blast sending Samuel L. Jackson phone calls around my office. It's Great! I work in an office of over 200 people and everybody is talking about "Snakes On A Plane", not becasue they saw the movie, or that they even have plans too, just getting a phone call from Samuel L is good enough! What a great website. I have to see the movie now! Snakes on Mother Bleepin Plane! Talk about Viral Marketing, I have been having a blast sending Samuel L. Jackson phone calls around my office.
