The Gathering 2005

Posted by Zonk on from the geeks-in-the-thick-of-it dept.

Advill wrote to mention a story on Tom's Hardware discussing The Gathering 2005, an enormous LAN party that takes place in Norway. From the article: "For a while now, The Gathering (TG) has been competing with Dream Hack in Sweden for the title of World's Largest LAN Party. Last year The Gathering won the title, but then Dream Hack struck back again and regained it. This year, the organizers of The Gathering thought that 5,200 participants ought to be enough and decided to stop competing for the title."

    I wanna be a norwegian! What is your immigration policy with regard to obese biker-looking geeks? And more, how easy are your women?

      I went to a place like that once. Looked like I'd fit right in. Everyone was tall, fat, hairy. Everyone was wearing lots of leather. Some seemed to like leather so much that they didn't even want to wear shirts underneath the vests or pants underneath the chaps. Funny thing though - there weren't any women there the entire night and they played a lot more disco than I'm used to hearing.
