I spent my 20s in college and LAN parties. Try them... it's a blast!
I don't think land parties have been a thing for a long time
Sure older people will do them but that is out of nostalga for what was
Can't try college right now, but LAN parties are legit! I hope somewhere they're still a thing...
They were usually just friend groups who took their entire computers over to someones house.
Think sleepover but you also bring a box of electronics
Haha yeah I actually did a few of these before, and they were awesome.
I remember really enjoying UT2k4, Command & Conquer Tiberium Wars, and a ridiculous number of Warcraft III mods (and DOTA lol).
A lot of my friends really liked CounterStrike 1.6 though and...I honestly wasn't much of a fan hah. (It was the hitboxes and spread. AK bursts center mass? No dice. Get hit in the foot by a submachinegun? Ded. I know, skill issue prolly lol.)
I remember once we played a few games and then everyone just logged into their individual WoW accounts around the end of the night. Lame lol.
Logistically, I definitely don't miss having to get the game(s) installed on everybody's machines, and make sure everybody's got the same patch version, and that kinda thing. Steam's actually made that a ton easier! (Especially with things like 4 packs and sales.)
More recently we tried a LAN party, and Warsow saved the day since it was free on GOG. That was a TON of fun! Sad that's a "dead game."
In highschool the whole computer lab would be playing Battlefield Modern Combat, or Battlefield 2142, and that was REALLY fun with a full house. (Getting to hear people shout "Alright WHO IS
<username>?!?!?!" was great fun.)I would kill for a ressurected battlefield 2142. I know there is a community one out there but I wish it made a comeback as a remaster or something.
