Looks like an absolutely crazy amount of fun. My pals and I used to have “nerd cons” at a buddies house that was fairly big. Those days were truly great and I dearly miss them.
* You had to lug around monitor that weighed 50 lbs, yet only had a 15 inch screen
* The first 2 hours were spent trying to get the wired Windows network setup right
* The next hour was spent troubleshooting why one person still couldn’t join games
* If anyone needed to download a patch, it could take *several minutes*
* You’d be choosy copying games, MP3s and movies from friends, since you only had 5-10 gb free
I fucking miss LAN parties. I held a few at my house in high school, so fun. 8 robotics nerds staying up all night gaming. CS:GO, Halo some solos like Bioshock Infinite Metro LL. So fun.
LAN parties are the best. Friends from afar come into town, graphics cards are sold for dirt cheap, troubleshooting is imminent, and thereās always that one friend who doesnāt play a darn thing and just roams around the whole time.
Love the matching shirts.
Why isn’t anyone taped to the ceiling??
that’s great looking weekend there! i’d have loved for a keg of beer to be present, too š
I can already smell this photo.
This looks fun AF.

I need to find some local Halo players cause this looks fun as hell
Sheesh guysā¦ save some š±for the rest of us
Disco ball is a must.

Whatās with the matching shirts? Is this some kind of gamer thing Iām too old to understand?
Definition of “bros”.
Hell ya looks like a blast. What did yāall play?

You know it smell crazy in there
I was jealous until I saw the fortnite poster.
Bit of overpass action going on
Didnāt last years picture have someoneās mom in it?
Needs more pizza boxes and beer bottles. Love getting together in person fun times.
I miss going to LAN parties.
Me and friends would throw small ones, and UCF in central Florida used to have some pretty decent large ones back in the day
You need some lady gamer friends…
Bet it smells like bawls in there
I had your job once, I was good at it…
This picture is a poster for why deodorant companies should reinvest in aluminum
Hey look, that one guy is flipping off the camera! Man… I wish *I* were that cool…
Dang, makes me almost wish for friendsā¦
Point a light directly at the disco ball for maximum fun.
You kids don’t know how good you got it!

That AC must be working on overdrive.
I know it smells like dorito farts and axe in there but idc that looks like a lot of fun!
Real question: does this not flip a breaker? How do you manage the collective power draw of that basement?

Pfft. What a bunch of nerdsā¦ I am so jealous. I donāt even know enough people to even fathom this
I can smell the sweat of the masses congregating. By jove the memories!

One monster! B rush!
Man I miss this!
That is a chonky electricity bill
+1 for that Ultramar symbol on the wall!

Paper plates, open cans of monster, disco ball….yup, that’s a lan party.
Holy man cave
4th annual? Is Covid a joke to you? /s
I wanted to be rude and say it looks like it smells but then I saw the ultramarines standard and instead I must go to my the aid of my brothers.
I bet it smells magnificent in there.
