From Prince no less! If we've learned anything from the past year, Minnesotans know what's up :-) (totally not biased)

I confess that I had this in mind. Is it time to start running LAN parties again?
reply
I've been to several retro LAN parties recently. They're wonderful, and they cost nothing to run. 10/100 switches are free, and cat5 nearly so, and the people attending can probably bring plenty of both.

Today is Friday. Send out a group text right now. Saturday evening. Bring whatever. We'll order pizza, it'll be a good time. Make it happen.

Logistically: One was specifically focused on the CDROM era. Any game that shipped on CD or came out roughly 1995-2005 was fair game, and the organizers mentioned a few by name that you might want to pre-install. The other was anything-goes, networking optional; I brought a TI 99/4A and a handful of cartridges, and it was very popular, apparently that grabbed a bunch of folks right in the childhood, in between rounds of Quake.

The only thing missing was the Josta. RIP.

the 99/4a was so weird, I love it

I'll bring the diet coke if we're playing CS 1.6

Electrical panels and air conditioning have not kept pace with graphics cards.

I hear you. Topless Quake LAN sweatathon, the sport of gentlemen.
