About LANs

A LAN Party is a temporary computer network, built to play games, share files, and enjoy a social atmosphere with other gamers. Pizza is a requirement for every LAN Party. A LAN Party can range in size, from a few mates in a lounge room or garage to a few thousand people in a stadium.

For More information see LAN Party, OCAU First Time LAN Guide!, Traveling to a LAN event, Running A LAN.
