LAN parties go on for long periods of time and there's a lot of setting up and taking down to be done. When you're dog tired and have been gaming all day fuelled on junk food and soft drinks, the last thing you want to have to do is to pack everything away, tidy everything up and somehow lug all your stuff home again.

LAN parties are about the atmosphere. You might as well say watch a rugby match on TV, or just listen to a CD with music on rather than going to the Stadium or a Concert.

You don't have to dismantle the set and lug it into vans after going to a gig...

I used to do this every week or so at an internet café, varying between 2 and 20 people, we'd play CS and Desert Combat mostly. I'd like to go to an i-Series event some time as part of a team.

I don't do it as often recently; playing online or over a VPN is more convenient. I'm going to a LAN on Friday, though.
