Got-LAN #32 in the works

Hey all,

 

We havent forgot!

The admin team is doing its best to get #32 on track, however changes are in the air, hence we have had to push the next LAN back.

But dont worry! Our next LAN is still on its way, we are reaching our deadline. One way or another we should have a date sorted in the coming weeks.

 

Watch this space.

#31 Post Lan Replay

With the conclusion of our first lan of the year, we had a good weekend, with 35 attendee’s turning up over the Friday and Saturday afternoon and evening.

Friday Night:

Friday started out as it usually does with people slowly arriving, setting up and getting settled into a long night. We had our usual pizza run,which went down well.
Games started off with Zero Gear which is always a LAN pleaser and a 4v4 in Supreme Commander for those into RTS’s.

Saturday Morning and Afternoon:

Saturday morning was a quiet affair with people heading off to sleep in the early hours of the morning, with the first person to come back which was about 10/10:30am and slowly numbers picked up during the day, we had pretty much a choca block room by saturday evening.

Saturday Evening and Sausage Sizzle:

Saturday evening was a busy affair with alot of people turning up before 6pm! we ran out of room in the main room, we had to open up a second room just to get people in!

Please note, registering on the lan sign up page helps us get an idea of numbers so we have it all setup so you can get into some gaming sooner rather than later!

The sausage sizzle happened this lan! and went down well, thanks to Joshua (xsannz) for cooking the sausages!

 

Final thoughts:

Overall it was a good LAN to start the new year off, and we are eagerly awaiting #32, at this stage there is no date set but we will be sure to let you all know on our Facebook page and our Google+ page, once we have it sorted!

 A welcome back:

We also welcome Regan (Seihava) back into the fold again, hopefully he wont leave us this time =P.

 

Total Attendee Count: 35!
Sausages Eaten: 65

Got-Lan #30: Post Lan Replay

Hi all,

thanks to all those who attended for another weekend of fragging, pizza eating and v drinking!

Friday Night:

Friday night again was everyone settling in and for some casual gaming getting everyone in the mood for sat, pizza run was again a success with the favourite pizza being meatlovers. First big game played was Zero Gear which is always good fun!
Moving along onto Call of Duty 4 and into Warsow. As the night wore on, people went home to sleep, ready for the next day of fragging!

Saturday Morning/Afternoon:

Saturday morning and afternoon was a quiet affair as people came back from sleeping and resumed playing games.

Saturday Night and the failed Sausage Sizzle:

Saturday continued to be a quiet night, and unfortunately due to a technical glitch with the gas bottle, the sausage sizzle didn’t sizzle, but luckily that was fixed with most people going for a second pizza run at Spagalimis! (Thanks Suvy for the hookup!)

Final thoughts:
Overall it was good lan, nice way to break up the long weekend, and we hope everyone enjoyed themselves as much as we (Got-Lan Admins) did!

We look forward to seeing you all back at #31!

Final V’s Drunk – 24
Final Pepsi’s Drunk – 24
Final Attendee Count: 21
