| Sat Jul 23rd 2022 12:35 PM | Well after a few years of no LAN compliments of Covid19... we are going to see if we can get this going again! No need to per-register i don't expect we will fill up our space with such short notice and no advertising, BUT it will be good to get back into the habit of having LAN parties again.
LAN will be Aug 6-7th at the Yankton Community Library. Starts at 5 on Saturday, and ends Sunday afternoon. We will see if we can still get in 24 hours of gaming or if im too old to handle that anymore! Please use front(east) doors to enter, the rest will be locked.
We will still be having pizza delivered sat night, and i have a limited amount of Bawlz available to those who want one. Suggested donation is $15, and that money will pay for pizza and cookies. All leftover proceeds will be donated to the library.
Dedicated servers will be setup for: Quake 3, BF1942, COD4, HL2 (MvM), Blur, Wreckfest, Insurgency:Sandstorm. Other games expected to be played: Rocket League, Warcraft 3(Tower defense), L4D, B4B... and whatever anyone else wants to play. 
If you have any questions, as always feel free to contact me!

| Fri Jul 12th 2019 05:14 PM | Well, lets see if we can do this again! Aug 10th 5PM. Maybe we can make it to 20th Annual yet! BUT we need more new blood, or the old blood needs to start coming back. Last years turnout was only a dozen or so, lets see if we can get that number back up in the 20s! Of course key to that is not just only playing the old standby games of the golden age of LAN gaming such as Quake and CoD, but newer ones as well. Some newer games DO support LAN such as Rocket League, Wreckfest, Insurgence:Sandstorm. Of course the oldies but goodies will still be around as well.
Currently plan to have dedicated servers for: Quake 3, TF2, BF1942, COD4, Mechwarrior Living Legends, Day of Infamy, Insurgency: SandStorm, and Wreckfest. Not all good LAN games need dedicated servers though! These LAN favorites expected to be played include: Warcraft 3 with TD maps, Blur, Left 4 Dead, and likely more. Also recently quite a few OLD games have come back thanks to GOG.com, and would be fun to play. Im really hoping we can get more X-Wing vs Tie Fighter games going! So, bring your joysticks if you want to fly!!!!
Quick reminder though, this is a LAN with limited internet access. We will have it, but 20 people will not all be able to download their games after they get here at the same time very quickly. PLEASE try to download your games before coming!!! We/I also spend alot of time troubleshooting games and new installs of things. Try to TEST your games before coming so everyone is just ready to go when you get here.
We will have Pizza delivered late Saturday night, and lots of cookies for everyone to share as always.
Don't forget your mice, headphones, power cords, network cords, etc etc. Please do leave your speakers at home though.
If you have questions toss me an email!
See everyone at the LAN!

| Tue Jun 13th 2017 06:03 PM | Aug 12-13th MHOC LAN. Same place, same time.
Once again we will be running more old school games that allow for LAN servers and don't require internet access. Likely to be played is, Quake3, CoD4, Blur, TF2, L4D, Insurgency, BF1942, Mech:LL
I have to say it again, but I know many of you want to play games that require online play. Im not saying you CAN'T play those games i just can not guarantee the internet will be able to handle everyone playing those games. When you get a large group of people trying to play online while others are patching or downloading new games things tend to turn south for play-ability/fun.
We will have an HTC Vive for people to try out at the LAN. So, that should be fun for those who don't have one, and a new experience for those who have never used VR. Because of this though, we will only have room for 25 people at the LAN. So, make sure you register to reserve your seat and try to invite a friend so we get all 25 seats full!
Signup here!
See everyone soon!
