We've listened to feedback, we know that a lot of people are keen for a classic LAN party with Quake, Unreal Tournament, Jedi Academy, and Warcraft III.
So this Saturday, come on down to Syndal Baptist Church for a classic LAN party, you'll barely even need an internet connection!
Date: February 17th, 2024
Location: Syndal Baptist Church in Glen Waverley with free parking available
Time: 11AM - 8PM
Cost: $20 ($16.10 with Discount Code)
Food: Fully catered at no extra cost.
Most gaming laptops do. But we will be Wi-Fi ready for those without ethernet ports.
USB to ethernet adapters work well
My gaming laptop does, it's got a neat little fold down clip.
Yes, plenty of gaming and business/enterprise laptops still do because Ethernet will always outperform WiFi, even in 2024, especially in home user contexts and especially if utilising 2.5GbE/5GbE/10GbE Ethernet connectivity.
Obviously 13-14" Ultrabooks will usually forego including Ethernet ports in the pursuit of a thin chassis but there's even 13" laptops with Ethernet sockets like the Fujitsu Lifebook series.
Wish Sydney had big LAN Parties!
Me too ! Discord isnt the same
If someone can fund us transporting all the gear and team up there, we'll do it!
You can probably charge abit more for tickets to see if Sydney has the market for it. I'd happy spend $40-50
Pleasantly surprised to see Jazz Jackrabbit amongst the line-up.
absolute classic
Can we share each other Warez and pirated DVD movies??
and Linux distros
that brings back memories of DC++
For me it was setting up people with the WinXP Royale Noir and Zune themes. Plus a good collection of wallpapers and system icons.
Good memories.
I miss the computer swap meets of yesteryear.
When mouses had balls and memes were called funny pics.
Ive been on the internet since 2002, i feel like they were called image macros.
I need to update my mp3 collection…
Hehehe the big lan
I fondly remember hours spend in Warcraft III doing FF and TD maps.
Dota
I remember there was some battleship map and end game you get the Black Pearl which was quite fun
"naval combat" was awesome

it's a bit buggy at times and you really need even teams of real people
there's a couple of others that are a bit different

and battleships crossfire:

best part about warcraft 3 is it runs on basically anything, like 10 year old i5 work laptops that were supposed to be sent to the electronics recyclers…..
Will we ever see Warcraft 4?
Soooo many hours spent on dota. There were so many other custom games too. :(
I lived and dined on unreal tournament and WC3! Plus Dune 2000, sim city, ultra bots, red alert… syndicate… and Duke Nukem 3D!
Wished I didn’t have kids BBall tomorrow or I would’ve come! Enjoy this nostalgic event!
Oldschooool. Starship tribes?
Any price for just to come and watch? I don't play but would be interested to observe
Spectator ticket is $9.50
Awesome can I buy on site
You sure can! There will also be some board games and stuff to enjoy if you don't bring a PC.
Dear Op, Glen Waverley is spelt with an e before the y. I noticed you made the same spelling mistake twice in your post.
So weird for rep to get the address of their location wrong lol
They got the date wrong too
Thanks for pointing it out. I have corrected it.
I might come just to steal everyone's bitcoin wallets.
