hi TITAN and welcome to the forum!



for anyone who does not know, LAN stands for Local Area Network. And it is basically a room full of computers where people go and pay to play computer games with (and against) their friends.



i thought LANs were falling in popularity due to the arrival of broadband? would that be a fair comment TITAN?

Hey TITAN, What LANs are you playing at? Any links would be welcome. How much they charging you per hour? I used to go to a LAN in waverley but i think it shut down now cause everyone is at home playing on their supa dupa broad band...though i miss that loud dark room with all the broken keyboards <img src='http://www.melbournechat.org/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' /> wouldn't mind trying it again. what games are they playing these days? is it still just counter strike?
