Pretty damning look at LAN parties.
"Callari's destination is a LAN party, an intense, almost ritualistic convocation of gamers that has been springing up - almost invisibly - all over the world."
Sounds like a cult...

I don't think this article is damning. I think it's just telling it how it is. It didn't make it seem like a bad thing to do, just something outside the norm.

Games also last a lot longer than they used to.
Hah -- he's never seen me play Unreal Tournament! My ass is usually handed to me in seconds, not minutes.
I like how these guys are now called LAN-ners. That's dumb-ers.

-unzips and a snes cart slides out- yeaa...oh. damn. what a misleading thread title.
they stole my fps saying "spray and prey". only, i use "pray", and i scream it when i'm opening up in levels with a fast automatic and my usual inaccurateness.
mad props to ring of red.
