z0ng shot me a picture of his equipment sitting in his apartment not too long ago. its looking much more organized than it was before. should be a good time. i wont be playing competing myself (since we are colleagues, dont want accusations of favoritism), but i should be there for at least one of the days.Henry the z0ng wrote: Just north of Toronto in the GTA Zero PING Events will be hosting LANapalooza 2009 starting at noon on Friday May 8th and running until ~3pm on Sunday May 10th for over 50 hours of BYOC LAN action.

Re: GTA Area LAN Party in Aurora - May 8-10!
LOL When it got to the part about it being located in a hockey arena, I had a vision of an huge minor league hockey style brawl by a bunch of nerdy guys, with people using keyboards the hit others over the head and others ramming people head first into computer cases.
Well, I don't care if it rains or freezes,
Long as I have my plastic Jesus
Riding on the dashboard of my car
Through all trials and tribulations,
We will travel every nation,
With my plastic Jesus I'll go far.

Re: GTA Area LAN Party in Aurora - May 8-10!
events like the one you mention are not quite that tame, and not necessarily sanctioned by ZPE. 
[[ IIRC there were a couple of "vent-your-rage" events that involved smashing various computer parts with large, heavy objects. there was also at one LAN, a group of CS 1.6 players i wanted to smash repeatedly in the face with a large heavy object. sadly, i dont think any such event is planned this time around. you are however, welcome to smash your own pc to bits if you want. ]]
