Free Culture LAN party this Saturday

This Saturday night, January 28, we will be having our 3rd annual LAN party! It will take place in Science Center 199, starting at 7pm and running until they kick us out. Through some error our reservation says we only have until 10pm, but we intend to run much later, so feel free to swing by anytime that night :-)

A LAN party is traditionally a computer gaming party, featuring a “Local Area Network” so that people can play network games against each other, and we will indeed have both wi-fi and ethernet hubs. However, we will also have console gaming for people who don’t bring computers, including DDR, Halo, old school Nintendo, and whatever else people can bring to plug into our TVs, so don’t be shy!  Bring your laptop, bring your PS2, or just bring yourself and your friends, we’re not picky.

This year we would like to introduce computer gamers to some addictive open source games, since they are perfectly legal to share and therefore ideal for LAN parties. Our recommended games are also available on all platforms, including Windows, Mac OS X and Linux, so that nobody feels left out.  More details to come.  (Pictures will be posted during and after the party.)
