All the LAN parties we had in college turned into a pirated media swap meet half way through.

Am I the only one that still regularly has LAN parties? (Though not a true lan since no games allow actual LAN) still get the squad together

CRT monitors, PS2 mouse/keyboard, overloaded power strips... yep, looks like fond memories from high school

Still do this sometimes. Funny though when we play a Steam game.

Battlefield 1942 is what we would play over the weekends in dorms. Two friends shared a bathroom so we would cram 4 or 5 systems in both

i fell asleep at a lan once and they wired up speakers next to my head and blasted porn to wake me up.

BewareTheIceSpiders
We'd have dozens of games, but we'ld always end up playing UT w/ low gravity & instagib.
saturos01
Aww yeah. UT was the best ran on nearly anything and was super fun to mod.
Whitetiger7654
I wasn't fortunate to attend lan parties. But I was in the school it office team. So we got to play quake for most of the school day and

Skip classes. We usually had napster running as well. And playing radiohead.

Most of those weren't out and popular by the time I graduated.

We had FastTracker II challenges, played Dune and Warcraft and created Doom maps of our school...
NightTh13f
Unreal tournament was the best

Someone managed to smuggle Quake III Arena onto the school's lab computers. So many after-hours well spent pwning the rest of the room...
RigoryMorty
We had Starcraft: Brood wars on every single computer, grades suffered but no regrets.
GlowstickJedi
We had the original GTA on ours. To this day it's still one of my best gaming experiences.

Our group of friends would smuggle it in on a iPod (1st gen), load it on each computer and play during class over the network! Good times

Shitty contrast? I'd rather have the workout
NationalSecurityAgentC

Crapsoft
Had a 1920x1440 back then, fat as fuck, weighed a ton, not that good colours though.
Haxalotl
No you didn't.
Crapsoft
I did, though it took years before i realised that it had that crazy resolution, and no games I played gained from it really.
MegaMetal
when I was IT admin, fist fights would break out (over who got them) when the first flat screens came out. All 12" square of them.
Sm9yCg
And an IBM laptop Computer!
