Having A LAN Party: Setting up, choosing computer games and location.: "When Sam Cooke wrote the old R&B number 'Having a Party', he probably never envisioned Unreal Tournament.
Playing anonymous opponents over the Internet is fun, but it pales in comparison to facing down your opponents in person, seeing them sweat, and reveling in their cries of anguish as you pummel them mercilessly. Or maybe you want to gang up on the computer, playing 'co-op' in games that support that feature. In either case, it's time for a LAN party!
Face it; we are social animals, and for as much as any of us like playing online, it's never as visceral an experience as playing in the same room with friends or cohorts. A LAN party isn't just about gaming, but it's about the shared experiences during the gaming. After the party, people hang around and talk about the best moments during the sessions. Sometimes they talk about it for weeks afterwards. The water cooler effect of popular TV shows pale in comparison."
This kind of party is just the thing for your computer game whiz! This site tells you how to go for it. What a memorable birthday a LAN party would be!

Hey Karen!
Me and my friends had a LAN party for New Year's Eve last year. We all had a blast playing an online game called Runescape (www.runescape.com). It was really fun!!
