LAN party (lan pär'te) n.: A social gathering for pleasure and amusement,
pertaining to the act of gaming. Pwning or being pwned usually implied.

So you'd like to spend more time playing the coolest games vs. the
coolest people? Don't we all. Lucky for us we have StreetGeek LAN
Parties to spice up our gaming schedule! If you're new to gaming and

Pros: Decent leaching and the fact they have internet access.

Cons: They play vomit games and use cracked versions of Source. Too many ******s there. They play really gay **** on the projector thinking everyone thinks its funny.

EDIT: The unlimited coffee is only like three cups as they don't constantly have the urn on.

[iRoffle]

will not attend. ever.

[shaGteM]

lol'd at the responses.

[Cloudstrike]

I still intend to leach and play some PS3 with mates.. But their are so many losers there that say gay **** to you..

Situation 1: "Hey, your screen is ****ed.." "Yeah, you're right, his screen is ****!" (yes I am aware my screen bleeds you stupid nerds.)

Situation 2: (while playing Uncharted on PS3) "That game looks hell ****!", "PS3 is a **** console, 360 is better!", but they didn't seem to stop watching/pestering us.

As well as much more stupid ****, I just rage up and tell them if they don't leave me alone I will **** them up.

Its the consolers that started **** with me saying "PS3 is bad". But let me guess, you are a 360 fanboy and your console HASN'T red ringed

Grats >_> <_< >_>

[longie]

[Cloudstrike]

Their isn't a Source team competition and the prizes are horrible.

But I go for the leach!

[N_forcer]

Never been to a street geek before. Is it good??

[iRoffle]

this sounds almost as good as the "lutherlan" thing some guy was telling us about "lutheran life in uni". at least the guy pointed out it was "competitive"...

[God]

My uni has lans sometimes, never plan on going to one, ever.
