Hi guys!
So, I've only ever had a LAN session playing Counter Strike x amount of years ago. You can't even call it a real LAN session since it was during the day, there were only four of us, and it lasted for all of five hours. *hears a multitude of pffffts*
I know you can have these things via PC, so my question is whether anyone here has had LANd with another console. Be it the PS3 or Wii or Xbox 360, has anybody here got experience rigging up their consoles with a few other gamers? How long did it last for, what equipment did you use, were there any issues that cropped up?
And if you haven't, would anybody here be interested to LAN using another console aside from the PC?
I'm just trying to get a general idea here as I'm looking to track down gamers in my area and invite them over to my place for all-night LANs, but I want to break away from using only one gaming console so I can attract more gamers.
It's just eaaaaarrrllly stages of research at the moment, but I'm going to work toward having minor league gaming competitions (and eventually massive LAN marathons once I get the aid of Xbox and Microsoft and a couple of other local businesses to sponsor the events). So, as I said, I don't want to limit the show to PC gamers only, I want to get pro-PS3 gamers and the likes into it as well.
Feel free to share your experiences of LANs here too, what kind of Clan you're in or were in, and name what made them good and what made them suck, and what you wish HAD been part of the experience.
At the moment, the only idea I've got that would compliment a LAN at my place is to stock a bar fridge with energy drinks. You know, when you need that kick to wake you up at 2am in the morning and start taking people down.
I figured I'd ask you guys because... well, everyone here is a gamer. ^_^
