The June LAN party has been canceled due to scheduling conflicts and personal reasons.

The July and August LAN parties are still a go however.

The next 4 LAN Parties are scheduled! Here is the poster:

Well, the Fall LAN Parties are now over. They were all a huge success! Thanks to everyone who came to play games, setup tournaments, etc. The next LAN Parties will be starting in January. See you then!

… was a success! Friday night brought in 22 people, while Saturday night brought in over 45. Many different games were played each night including the newly released Halo 3. FEAR, Warcraft 3, Heavenly Sword, Guitar Hero, and Dance Dance Revolution were also big hits.

Thanks to everyone that helped with setup, clean up, and pitching in for food and soda. It was fun, and we hope to see you there on October 12th and 13th!

The first night of the LAN party (August 17th) brought in about 30 people. Most of them brought their own computers, and some brought Xbox 360′s and Playstation 3′s. A good variety of games were played such as Natural Selection (PC), Warcraft 3 (PC), World of Warcraft (PC), Starcraft (PC), Supreme Commander (PC), Gears of War (Xbox 360), Guitar Hero 2 (Xbox 360), Ridge Racer 7 (PS3), Virtua Fighter 5 (PS3), FEAR (PS3), Resistance: FOM (PS3), and other various game demos. The first night of the LAN party ended around 4am the next morning. (11 hours)

The second night of the LAN party was even more of a success. Many people from the night before came for more gaming, and some new faces appeared in the crowd. With around 35 people this time, many of the same games were played from the night before. A Guitar Hero 2 tournament spawned, pizza was delivered, and people drank up all the soda and energy drinks. The second night ended just as the night before around 4am.

The next LAN Party is scheduled sometime in September. The final dates will be announced in the coming weeks. Hope to see you there!

I read an online comic called Penny Arcade. If you are a gamer, you probably know of this comic. Anyway, their latest comic touches on librarians. Enjoy!
