Thanks to everyone who came to the 2016 Quake on the Lake event in Corinth, NY!
While smaller than last year, we had a tight-knit group of friends who spent the week white water rafting, going to an amusement park, playing trampoline dodgeball and…oh yeah a week long LAN PARTY!
QotL is open to anyone who attends the Dead Gamers Society LANs. See you next year!
As for the next DGS LAN? December 3rd for sure. Maybe sooner! Keep checking back and see you soon.
QotL is growing, and with that comes challenges. We started this season looking at different cities to find an affordable house near some activities. However, as you get closer to cities, finding a house big enough to contain us is difficult, and that difficulty is compounded by needing a decent internet connection for 14 gamers. Thus, the long search became more about finding a large enough house with a decent connection, which has brought us to the Adirondacks, NY. While we normally like to give you guys a choice of cities, all options have been exhausted save for 1 group of houses in upper NY. Here’s where we need your help. Our preferred location is a 10 bedroom house, but it is only available Aug 21-27. To afford this house with an estimated 14 people would mean the cost would be about $425. They have a second property, however. A 7 BR house which is available Aug 14-20 and Aug 21-27. This house will cost each person $385. Both have decent internet but not a lot around beyond your typical ski-resort-in-summer activities such as hiking and maybe rafting.
Please check out the each house below and let us know what you think on the Facebook group
10 BR/8 BA, Hot Tub, Snowmobiling, Skiing, Water View ($425/week)

Thanks to everyone who attended our Quake on the Lake event August 16-22 in Boone NC! The reviews were mostly good, and there were definitely lessons learned. We plan to make next year even better!
Some people were asking when to expect the next DGS LAN. My newborn son Ben is trying to learn how to sleep and once he gets the hang of it, we can start planning LANs here again. There will be no DGS LAN in September unfortunately. I would guess around November for our next event, but I’m not sure yet.
Check out Fragfest in Ashland on October 3rd if you want to play before then. Details were posted in the DGS facebook group.
