How to Throw Your First LAN Party

LAN parties are a wonderful way to spend rainy weekend with friends all this takes a little planning to make sure everything goes smoothly.

If you plan on PC or console-based LAN party, to get the right mix of gear with this first and most important step. Console players it might be a bit easier, as the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 is much more portable than a full size PC counterparts. However, do not forget that you need more monitors, games, LAN cables and hub / switch large enough to handle so many consoles that you need to connect everything. Having a buddy with a 16 or 24-port switch is always on hand, but the old 10/100 switch is all you need. The cost of hundreds of Gigabit-class switch books.


If you tell your friend that brought to the console LAN-party, do not forget to tell them to control their movement along, the right video cables, games, wired controller and power cord. In the A40 Audio System is the ideal solution for the local console, so do not forget the audio device, even if your friends do not have ASTRO equipment yet. If your friend have an additional power cable and wired controller, to bring them, too (after they marked their initials). Someone is bound to forget about them. Remember that the wired controller you want more than four wireless controllers are going to intervene in one another, if you are not a fair distance, which takes pleasure.

Same advice for the computer network used with the addition of needing a place to put computers, monitors and mouse pads in addition to the spot for every butt. Beg and borrow each card table, picnic table and folding chair, which you can download from relatives, neighbors and friends.

And finally, how are you going to the PC or console route, make sure you understand the situation, authorities are also in advance using industrial grade extension cords to use the power of several circuits in your house the smart way. Nothing is better than blowing a fuse drag or deactivate a switch mid-game. When your buddies to bring their own power strips with a sharp patrons also smart idea.

Whats playing? This is an extremely important issue, and that will make or break your party. Start with your friends: What games do you usually play? This game something that may be will be a game that gets the most mileage during your party. Being together is certainly open up new strategies and new wrinkles every you play (if only in the face YER! Factor compared to the person playing), in addition to the tactical advantage of the availability of Lag Free compound, which may only be when you are in the local network.

If you have another game that people could enjoy, but do not necessarily play an even (or perhaps not for long), it is a welcome departure from the main attraction. Mix and your genres as well: If you are gathered to play intense first-person PC shooter like Counter-Strike and Battlefield, do not forget to take it in the grooves, starting a friendly pickup game on the RTS classic, like Warcraft III or Dawn of War. If you have a new gear and new collections of games, Dawn of War and Supreme Commander are incredibly fun. Most RTS titles 2v2 (or 3v3!) Modes, which allow to noobies with more experienced players, and advanced control, which allows to balance things to a fine degree to ensure that everyone enjoys the fun and challenging game.
