Through the Fire and Flames, Storming the Burning Fields with The Flame of Youth, Hostage Down VI was completed successfully. Yes, a lot of Dragonforce was played. /me dodges rotten fruit.
And what do all of these song titles have in common? No, we didn't start an electrical fire, but the TF2 action was hot! /me dodges more rotten fruit...oh for the love, where did you find a tomato that large?!
Anyway, bad punning aside, plans for the next full Mega LAN are in the works so keep an eye on the site for the details as they become available.

Well, its that time again for our smaller, computer only LAN of the year. Here's the facts:
What: Hostage Down VI
Where: Valders Hall of Science
When: Friday, January 9th, 7 pm-7 am
Who: Computer Gamers
Why: Because we can?
To what extent: As hard and long as we can go
So bring your PC. Anyone who wants to help is more than welcome to show up at 5 pm. As per the usual, it is all the soda you can drink for $2, and pizza at midnight as usual. Some games we may be playing or trying out:
Left 4 Dead, Team Fortress 2, Zombie Panic, CSS, UT2k4 and/or UT3, Savage 1 & 2, Starcraft, etc.
We hope to see you there!

After a slightly slow start, Mega LAN XXI completed successfully with many quality hours of TF2 played (look both ways before crossing the train tracks!) Hopefully everyone had a good time, and a huge "thank you" to everyone who helped with cleanup.
The next party should be taking place in January, so check back for details between now and then.

Due to some problems with the Mega LAN database, we have a number of accounts that were lost recently. If you registered in the past couple of years you will probably find that you can't log in anymore. To fix this, please see this thread on the forums and let us know which of the unaccounted for users is you.
Sorry for the inconvenience.

Mega LAN is officially back for the 2008-09 school year and our first party has been scheduled. See below for all the details.
ALL of the reservations have been made so we will have a proper power setup this time. Which means my poor RAID array won't spend the entire party rebuilding itself this time around.:-)
Date: Nov. 7, 2008
Time: 7 PM - 7 AM
Place: Valders Pit, Luther College, Decorah, IA
Cost: $2
Pop: Free with admission
Pizza: Midnight, $1 per slice, $10 per pizza
PC Gamers: Bring your PC, monitor, headphones, and a power strip. Network connections and cables are provided. We will have the big power bars again so make sure you plug your power strip directly into those, not into each others power strips. Daisy-chaining trips breakers and your hard drives don't need that kind of abuse.
Games you should probably install ahead of time:
TF2
Savage 1 (free)/Savage 2 (free for LAN play)
CS:S
UT 2k4 and/or 3
Zombie Panic
Console/DDR/Guitar Hero Players: Just bring yourself. Consoles and couches are provided.
Halo Players: We don't have the Halo cave for this party due to the construction, but we will make arrangements. Bring an XBox, controllers, powerstrip, and TV. Networking will be supplied by Mega LAN.
Others: We welcome any Magic, Scrabble, or Candy Land games. At this time Rob is planning to be there so talk to him about organizing.
As always help with cleanup is greatly appreciated.

The cake is a lie and so are the reports of Mega LAN's demise. Despite some web site difficulties over the summer which seem to have resulted in the loss of all our previous announcements, we're in the planning stages for Mega LAN XXI (sorry, there will still be no drinking at Mega LAN's 21st ;-) and should have details posted soon.
