Respawn v4 over! Options

[Zardoz]

So we've all pretty much recovered from yet another successful LAN. The weather was kind to us and everything ran pretty smoothly with the exception of the odd power outage or two. Turnout was excellent - however we do remind people to register as we do finalise floorplan and tables before the day - we had to scramble to add seats! Photos should be up in the next few days.

The DOTA 5v5 proved to be more popular than 3v3 so we will continue with this format for future events. Other games played during the event included lots of Flatout2, 32 player CS:Source GunGame, Gears Of Wars (xbox360), DOOM2, Jaws (it's single player but great to watch - you play as the shark!) and many more.

A big thanks to all those who helped us run the event, the gopers, the admins and the people who stuck around at the end to help us tidy up. And thanks to all the gamers who came and made this yet another top event.

Edit: Photos are now LIVE.

For those hanging out for a LAN before the next, Dreaming Reality LAN has made a comeback from the old-school days with an 18+ event at the Odeon (the smaller hall next to ours) on Feb 10th and BlueWire LAN held in Diamond Creek THIS weekend.

We look forward to seeing you all at the next Respawn LAN!

You were a victim of the course that was chosen and poor controller quality. No matter, its being ported to the Wii soon, so next time should be more interesting.

Bring on Respawn v5!
