LoL
Not the sort of LoL you might be thinking!
This time it stands for LAN on LABS. The wounderful Dept of Computer Science are allowing us free run of the games lab (FE-177?) to host a bring only yourself LAN party. Thats right no PC’s are needed as they have pretty powerful one’s ready and waiting. Games for the day will be preinstalled and configured on the machines so in theory we can get even more game time in than with the traditional LANs.
We are still working out the details, particually for game licences as this has to be done by the book. Some games we have got premission to use, but for others like Call of Duty 4 we might ask you bring your own copy to prove you have a licence and you effectivly play with that even thou you don’t really need the copy. If you don’t own it then you can play one of the other games that don’t require a licence.
More details such as the day and duration have also got to be worked out but things are looking promosing. This is looking to be a very special event.
