Legit Reviews

I just saw over at the Warfactory forums that they are planning a LAN on March 29th, 2009 here in St. Louis. I've already got it on my calendar, so if you are in the area you should check it out. Legit Reviews stopped by the last Warfactory LAN this Fall and had a great time.

Hmm I might try and make the trek down there.

tempting. Gonna have to see what's going on in the next month or so with work before I can commit.

Figured that was a given with a White Castle just over the hill. Depends on which of you get 60Mbps internet first.

OOPs just realized thats the weekend of my wedding anniversary. That would incur major spousal aggro!

Sounds more like a good idea for a wedding present!

I'm not gonna push it! she just let me order the mobo for the phenom II this week. Besides I'm sure every guy in the area felt it get colder with the look she gave me when I started talking about going to st. louis the last weekend in march.

lol! if that was my wife it probably would have turned into that scene from scanners

i'll have to see what work says but I haven't been to a LAN in a while. What's the big LAN games these days? COD?

wonder if this is still a go... just a couple weeks out basically...

Looks like this is a Webster Computer Club Event and nothing to do with War Factory as they are just promoting it...

Yep, the event happened as planned. Being on-campus was an asset, but the date wasn't my choice of course and probably made a bunch of folks skip it. I'd rather be LANning on any given Sunday, esp. with the alternatives ...

The great thing about this one was that there was a good mix of people, split between console and PC gamers. We had a handful of tournament PCs for anyone to use and ended up going "old school" with some CS, Half-Life DM, and Team Fortress Classic amongst other PC games. I forgot how much fun the crowbar was ;) We ended up having about 16 people play Halo 3 at one point, which was actually fun because we didn't do any formal tournament or have any expectations. Seeing PC and Console gamers play side by side without bias was a first for me ... particularly because some folks who were more console gamers used the open PCs to check out CS and HLDM too.

Lots of people are saying that LANs are dead; don't believe them. There's good reason to pack up your equipment and game.

we had a few people here interested in going.... too bad their e-mail address bounced and no one could be talked to.
