New stuff for LAN 9!

Yep, not long now! We’re hard at work preparing everything for our latest and greatest event and we’re pretty excited about a few nifty additions and improvements this time around.

Call us crazy but we’re setting up the meaty projector so that anyone, yes anyone can plug their computer in and game on our big screen! We’ll have 4 Xbox controllers and of course a keyboard and mouse extended to the seating area around the projector for split screen fun times. There will also be a pair of high quality speakers for your listening pleasure too.

Regulars of our LANs will know we love to make the place look sweet, and we’ve got more sweet LED lighting and a UV black-light for this event too.

The other big thing we’re doing this event is a live camera stream up to Twitch.tv, and selected game casts too, so even if you don’t manage to get tickets you can watch from the comfort of your own home.

Book now to avoid disappointment!

 

LAN 8 Is Go!

In case you hadn’t already heard, tickets are on sale for our next event!

It was great to see you all at LAN 7 in March – we had an excellent time and everything ran amazingly smoothly!

We’ve been working hard to make this next event even better, with drinks and snacks pre-order deals available when you buy tickets, and more game servers such as Team Fortress 2 & PropHunt, Trackmania, Counter-Strike: Source & Global Offensive and many more.

With 70mbit down and 20mbit up internet access, a big pizza order, a projector, even better lighting, air conditioning and a soundsystem where you choose the music, we’re set for an epic weekend.

Sound like fun? Book a seat now

LAN #7 Feedback

First of all, thanks to everyone who attended our first public event – we’re super pleased that it went without a hitch! We’d love to hear what you thought about about it all, and if you think we could do anything better or have any cool ideas for future events.

Click here to go to the feedback forum thread in our Steam group.

A few random things we’re looking at improving for the next event:

  • Custom protu.be-like system which shows who has posted and voted on songs/videos
  • More game servers e.g. Natural Selection 2 (further suggestions welcome!)
  • Snacks & drinks pre-ordering along with tickets
  • Rewards for participating in games (don’t worry, no scary competitive tournaments!)

And don’t forget, between LANs we’re on our Mumble server most evenings playing games too!

Happy fragging
