    Spewing I missed out on the last one and this one! I take the last event was a hit?

      The last event was great! Our sponsors have yet again increased the prize offering so it's looking to be great.

  • KillerkratZ on 17/06/2022 - 17:28

    Is this only for contestants or can spectators go and watch as well?

    • AssociatedJabob @ THE BIG LAN on 17/06/2022 - 17:29

      Spectators are more than welcome. And there's heaps of side stuff to try (VR, Consoles, Racing Sims, board games, food)

      • KillerkratZ on 17/06/2022 - 17:32

        I suppose then the question is, does spectators need a ticket for entry as well?

        • AssociatedJabob @ THE BIG LAN on 17/06/2022 - 17:35
          +4

          Yeah, sorry should have said. Because we provide meals and also the side event stuff at extra cost, we do ask that people buy a Console/AFK ticket. But we hope that there is still plenty of value to make it worth it!

    I went last LAN and it was a lot of fun. Great prizes organised by the team. Highly recommend checking it out if you are interested

    Haven't been to a BYO PC LAN in 10 years so could be a kick. What are they like these days? Do people still swap Linux isos, game patches and driver updates over DC++ or has faster internet changed all that? Still the random huddling around someone's dead PC with spare parts to help them test BSODs and faulty RAM? Good times.

    • AssociatedJabob @ THE BIG LAN on 17/06/2022 - 17:57

      It's a bit of a mix. There's a bunch of old-school LAN-players that come, playing Red Alert 2 or Flatout. But there's also people that rock up, connect in, and then play Overwatch for ten hours and only take a break to join in the Pass the Parcel.

    • AssociatedBryan Hayes @ THE BIG LAN on 17/06/2022 - 17:58

      Hey, I do most of the Tech Support for the event. Happy to say we haven't seen someone do that level of hardware rebuild on the day yet, but it's bound to happen and will be fun.

      Fast internet has changed the scene a bit and we cache all the updates we can too, but it's normally a friendly crowd happy to share

    • RevMet on 17/06/2022 - 18:37

      I was at the last LAN, looking to go to the next one, and I would gladly help out with any pc building space!

      "Linux isos, game patches and driver updates" lmao, those were the days.

        I went to heaps of LANs back in the 00's. Every single one always had at least 1 person doing a Format and reinstall of Windows, and someone for whatever reason just could not get onto the network lol

      suuure… "linux isos", ….. game "patches" and "driver updates"…. Those are definitely what I remember people swapping at lan parties….

        Woah, people wouldn't just illegally download a twenty-year-old game with no legal avenues to acquire it…would they?

    I'm concerned about the $1 potato cakes or $5 for 4 deal…

    • AssociatedJabob @ THE BIG LAN on 17/06/2022 - 18:09

      If you were a fan of the potato cakes last time, just wait till you see what we've added to the hot-food menu this time!

      • nyteshaiid on 17/06/2022 - 19:55

        Hey Jabob, Any vegan options provided for lunch, dinner, etc?

        • patchyz on 17/06/2022 - 21:14

          Also would like to know :)

          • AssociatedJabob @ THE BIG LAN on 18/06/2022 - 09:52

            @patchyz: Yep, we can work with any dietary requirement. Just reach out just you've bought a ticket and we'll sort something out.

          Potato cakes

        • AssociatedBryan Hayes @ THE BIG LAN on 17/06/2022 - 22:18

          Hey, we always have a vegan option available at lunch and dinner, but it's best if you reach out prior if you have any specific requirements. Messaging us via the Facebook page or the discord is you best bet (links on the website)

      So they get more expensive the more you buy?

      • AssociatedJabob @ THE BIG LAN on 17/06/2022 - 19:38

        From memory they were $1.50 each or 4 for $5.

          From your website. It's $1 each or 4 for $5….

    Good on you for organising these sort of event - very cool. How many people did you get last time/anticipate to attend this event?

    • AssociatedJabob @ THE BIG LAN on 17/06/2022 - 19:23

      Last event was just over a hundred. Expecting ~120ish this time, but we can handle up to 200.

      Haven't had a lot of demand for COD. But we have some extra prizes so if people there are keen we can run an impromptu tournament.

  • DrMilan on 17/06/2022 - 20:39

    Well done to the organizers, if i can make it i may pop by.
    it feels like stepping back into the year 2000

  • rever on 17/06/2022 - 23:13

    How many people usually turn out for this?

    • AssociatedJabob @ THE BIG LAN on 17/06/2022 - 23:21

      Our last 3 events have all had 100-125 attendees.

  • Viospeed on 18/06/2022 - 11:01
