The Barn LAN finally happened today after several threats from Matt prevented us from moving it to the typical basement location. Fortunately I had several long power cords and network cables to service the barn for the landmark event. We started off with the new FEAR Combat, which was great (and totally free). After Jeffords and Whiney joined, we had some good clean 4 on 4 FarCry sessions followed by some UT2K4. Ron brought his new projector, which gave us all a great 62" view of his place in the game (until he decided that was a bad thing). Noticeably absent this event were Mr. and Mrs. Stavos, Jaird, Tigerbomb and Hasselhoff; all of whom will be kidnapped and held indefinitely at the next event. Reflecting on the first LAN party in my barn, I have to say it went fairly well. Lugging the required equipment back and forth was inconvenient, but the increased area for bodily gas dispursion was worth it. The smokers also enjoyed non-stop smoking. Unfortunately as prime LAN season approaches, it will be cold enough to freeze nipples solid so it was probably the last one for the forseeable future. And now for the token LAN Video from the Gnome Cam.
