North America's Largest LAN Party

Posted by timothy on from the what-about-wan-parties dept.

An anonymous reader sends this early announcement (registration will open later in the month) for Fragapalooza, writing "North America's largest LAN party is coming again this year. Scheduled for July 17th - 20th, 4 Days of non-stop gaming. If the numbers are the same as last year we should see roughly 1100 people packing the Mayfield Trade Center in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. Sponsors for past events included some of the biggest names in technology including Intel, Microsoft, ATI, Sympatico and Cisco just to name a few."

    The internet isn't a LAN. It's a WAN (Wide Area Network).

    Given the low standard of personaly hygiene some geeks have, you may want to stock up on air freshener and/or nose plugs...

    Note: this is not intended to be aimed at those geeks who do actually know what soap, water and deoderant are. The problem is, even 10% of unclean, sweaty bodies would be enough to make things unpleasant.

    Those games must be over pretty quick, what with everyone surrendering to everyone else.

    Do the French mod their games and replace one of the weapons with a "white flag"?

    How can you have a frag party in France, when all the players continually surrender?
