I miss lan parties
Discussion
2-4 player on a medium CRT was kind of ass, but I do have fond memories. It just hit different. Glad I'm in the age group that experienced that.
Yeah but 16 players on 4 medium TVs and 4 xboxes connected with a crappy linksys router, shouting at each other across the same house was amazing.
Speaking of things that got worse:
- the version with English subtitles was diss appeared (but hey, just learn Swedish?)
And things that got better:
- watching Youtube via Wireguard on a transatlantic flight free wifi

for a second I thought you missed lan panties
Me too. We used to drag our PCβs out to the comp sci lab at UBC in the late 90βs where my buddy was a network administrator, and play Quake 4 vs 4 deathmatches on stanford.edu till 4am. At home we were on 28.8 modems but UBC had a T1 line that served the whole campus. Pinging sub 30ms to a server 950 miles away in 1996 was mind blowing. Now I have 3x that bandwidth at home lol.
My last LAN party was my bachelor party. π
big same.
Halo and Halo 2. Peak fun.
Battlefield 1942. All night long. Mountains of pizza. π
we still do them.. π once or twice a year.
Quake, Starcraft, Flatout2, and more.... awesome games!
but we do it only with 8-16 people.. gaming laptops makes it easy nowadays π
Thereβs a little LAN section at RuneFest 
I miss them so bad.
