What is a lan party?
In brief, a LAN Party is a gathering of people who all bring their computers, play video games
together on a network, eat food and have a good time. The first thing people (usually parents or
spouses) immediately ask is: "Why would you want to do that? A computer is an expensive (and
heavy) piece of precision electronics, one whose performance is negatively impacted by the
accidental introduction of nacho cheese in the open CDRom drawer. But the fact is, a LAN Party
is the most fun you can have with your machine. (Aside from surfing dirty pictures on the
net.)
To celebrate your victory at a LAN party, you'd:
- Savor the expression of anguish on his face
- Leap up and scream, "Owned, biznatch!"
- High-five your teammates
- Sing a rousing chorus of, "Who's yo daddy?"
- Announce that he couldn't kill you if you were on life support
- Begin the trash talk for the inevitable rematch
Now let's assume you were at home alone playing on the Internet. You'd celebrate your amazing victory in the
following ways:
- Typing "haha you s..." Then getting wasted by your last victim, while he has his own moment of glory
- Check your ICQ later for messages
