online multiplayer sucks. playing deathmatches in a big room filled with nerds all shouting at each other is a singular experience that seems to be totally dead and i miss it so much.

6 people, Unreal Tournament, CS and Operation Flashpoint, beer, 48 hours of good times. Substract 14 hours of dealing with network problems from that and you've still got a great weekend.

games have fallen so far, instead of hanging out and seeing your friends all the time or getting all your toys together to play a big game is out in favor of paying $50 a year to have 10 year olds yell friend of the family at you, in every game ever

They were cool but those guys who insisted on trying to get numbers would always invite some sketchy fucks.

By the time you get your computer working it's loving midnight and you're tired as poo poo and don't really enjoy playing anymore. By 2AM you're just wishing the party would end so you could go home. Then you go to sleep in your car at 4AM and wake up with a stiff neck and pack your PC up and leave, wondering why you didn't just do so the previous night. gently caress LAN parties.

It was always funny when everyone but that one dude had their poo poo working and we're all looking at each other like gently caress this guy LETS GO. One thing that I miss about irl multiplayer gaming is seeing people physically attack other people and/or being told to leave the house. Its so much better than trash talking via chat.

LAN parties in the pre XP days was an exercise in frustration. Setting up LANs got a zillion times easier (and many motherboards started having integrated Ethernet then). But yeah man, check out my network share. I have like 3 gigs of mp3s all mislabeled and unsorted that I downloaded one at a time. And a bunch of sweet games in rar files with all the cinematics and music removed to save file space.

Only went to a couple LAN parties. There was computer kid who had parents that would go out for him to have LAN parties. They would cover the dining room table in snacks and drinks, and had a wall knocked out in the house to join two bedrooms. They had a couple long fold out tables and some desks. We all knew each other from school and it was a small town so there was never any weirdos or anything. Never had a problem with setting up. It was pretty much plug and play. Was pretty fun it was mostly warcraft 3 and porn trading though

My niece got invited to one. Her mother was afraid it was a sex party. The girl ended up calling her mom to pick her up because she was bored by all the nerds.

the smaller more focused ones where everyone was there to play a certain game were cool. the big ones were just file trading and counterstrike(which was maybe version 1.5 or 6 and most were over it by then)

Every overnight lan I went to had one poor rear end in a top hat whose computer would bite the dust a couple hours in and since this was back then reformatting was an all night affair. It was me. I was always that rear end in a top hat.

I played some Quake II arena during a convention lan thing. It was the first time I tried an energy drink as well. It was the rebranding of Jolt Cola, and I thought it was still soda instead of an energy drink. I downed the whole thing within ten minutes, and in that round of Quake I went from sub-par reaction time shitnoob to the god of all twitch shooters. The crash afterwards was intense.
