First time I attended a LAN party was with a group of 40 people who hired out the two conference rooms at the local library. First medal of homour game was a blast, especially 1 moment where I ended up last alive getting advice from the other 7 people on my team who were clustered around trying to coach me through taking on the last three Germans from the other team. Also helping to cart all the monitors in was some good cardio, kinda miss moving 24" Sony Trinitron CRTs around... Oh wait no I don't at all.
Kids will never know the pain. I remember that for a small time CRTs had the advantage over LCDs due to their higher refresh rate (75 Hz over 60 Hz) so pro players preferred CRTs.
Btw, you didn't mention any game.
Oh that's OK I just wanted to reminisce on the glory days, my backlog is so long already I could use all my spare time for the next year and still barely make a dent.
