LAN Party
Play pool, drink beer, play cards? Now a days the guys
form up two teams and bring their computers for a LAN (local area network)
party. In virtual realty the two teams kill each other to 'capture the
flag' or what ever. Popular is Wolfenstein, Quake, or Unreal.
Believe me, these guys are really good. All Gateway 'Geeks', they hone
their skills at lunch.
