Title: So, what LAN games do you guys usually bust out?
Post by: Prpl_Mage on September 13, 2012, 06:08:29 PM: Not sure if this whole "LAN café" concept is anything outside Sweden. But what do you guys usually play when you gather together in a dark musky room to geek out into the middle of the night?

Over here it's mostly counter strike (still), Dota, Starcraft, some sort of battlefield (I think), HoN, LoL and such.

(Yes, a bot inspired me to make this thread.)

Besides, I tend not to like playing with other people because I like taking my time. Last time I played Diablo with other people, they were already beating the **** out of the boss and I was still looking at the loot around and listening to NPC's.
Plus, we always have different schedules and stuff, so... yeah. By myself.

More recently, we'll play Gears of War for horde mode. Past that, group games are typically split screen/shared screen games, so no LAN there.

And you let him to this because..?

I remember some years back when my classmates honestly skipped classes some days because they were up doing LAN parties in the middle of the week, either at one of these cafés or in someone's house when their parents went away. I never really got the idea of that. But might be better than drinking and partying as far s I know.
Not as into the concept of sitting 3 days with other people in front of an individual computer as one might think. Getting together to just play something for about a day or so is fine tough.
