Thanks everyone for coming out to the December 3rd LAN Party!  This was our biggest party yet, with 23 people attending.  I was very happy to be able to have everyone and not run into any power issues.  Our only issue of the night was trying to have a 12 person game of Overwatch which exceeded the internet bandwidth of the house.  Why can’t we just run LAN games anymore these days?  Later we discovered Overwatch has a ‘high bandwidth mode’ that may have contributed, however I will look into temporarily increasing our internet limits on LAN weekends in the future.

Pizza was provided by Digsby’s Pizza, located in Seville by Rte 3 and 76.  I think everyone enjoyed that and we’ll probably be ordering from them in the future as well.  Despite the internet issues early in the evening, by the end of the night Krhainos was able to block Windows Update and even allow Steam downloads without affecting anyone’s pings so hopefully that will make future parties run a little smoother.  I think we can all agree that his (and JOOOOOOOOOO’s) internet speed sign was a neat addition.

I don’t have an estimate on when the next party will be yet.  Probably early next year around February is my guess.  I’ll have to make plans on how to run power to support even more people!  See you next time!
