The experience Options

[Jenn]

Just thought I'd like to let you guys know what I experienced as my first time as a LAN. [YES, I am damn tired and damn bored thus me doing this... Plus it might be interesting to you or a .... Review of how your first time may have been]

So I started off the day carrying my first ever built PC into the building, after rego'ng my tickets of course but I must mention I was very hesitant to come to Respawn as I had other things planned on the sunday and wasn't sure I'd be someone who would fit in... Also had difficulties getting a ride to the place but was all sorted out with some other people who I had found out that were going to Respawn anyway. I found myself tripping over the damn loose gutter thing in front of the front door, thus leading me practically limping throughout the whole Respawn in pain etc. I was told to dress warm, thus my ugg boots and my fur jacket but was found to not need them in the morning since the PC and the sun had heated the whole hall up anyway. I ended up buying a 10M ethernet cable because the one I bought wasn't long enough to connect to the LAN but it was all good... I didn't realise that LANs would consist of just sitting in your seat, gaming, downloading + going out to eat maccas every few hours though which was definitely a new experience for me.

So one of the most memorable things I would say would me being 'Anonymous' to everyone, it's the same experience with being a female on the net but just so much more exciting... Just knowing that the people who are calling you a man were only sitting a few seats away from you. I did eventually reveal myself but it was just fun anyway to chat to everyone on 'That which shall not be named', which was a completely new program to me which I'd like to thank Ase and Synsync [I don't even remember his username] who helped me set it up. I started to feel like I belonged when I actually entered 'That which shall not be named' and especially when Queenie came to help with my Steam problem, which was a wonderful thing btw. Not to mention the mass downloading of Porn, TV shows that were definitely familiar to me but not to my friends that go to school with me.

But yeah! As a summary of how I felt about it... It was great fun and I'll definitely be attending the next one, regardless what my mother has to say about the LAN. It was a great experience and I'm sure it'll be more fun now that I've got an understanding of what happens at these LANs now, not to mention, knowing some of the people besides the people I came with now.

So yeah, overall I want to thank the people who were on 'That which shall not be named' and the people I got to leech off things and the people who managed Respawn which was a great experience!

PS : I still hate you Rack 1 + 2. ;x

This was my first respawn also and it wont be my last, 30 minutes of sleep on my keyboard was all I needed btw best thing I heard all respawn was when they were giving away the last factial design's case, this girl won it and some random from the crowd yelled ''That wont fit in the kitchen!'' haha winning

awww, you forgot the part when i shouted "PIZZA" about 10 seconds before it even came. but that moment was awesome to.

[silent_rock_faery]

I'm amazed that you made it through all of respawn with close to no sleep at all, that is dedication. I've never made it that far. Congratulations. Also, thanks for making DC chat even more entertaining.
Until next time!

Your anonymous friend,

Edit: lol, Mao.

Oh man, DC chat was wicked! I had so so much fun trolling! I wasn't even drunk!

All nighters are the test of a true lan player. You have passed the test. I admitted defeat for 30 minutes at my first lan but have gone full night the last two. I actually went with no energy drinks this time! Hope you enjoyed the trolls. We are all very nice in the end

Had I not had to come back to wangaratta (ew) I would have easily gone no sleep. You have my word, next time (providing there is nothing important to do) I shall not sleep. (and maybe it will be a little bit warmer outside LOL)



This was my best LAN so far. I LOVED it. Can't wait for next time

[Mars]

It was my first respawn too i very much enjoyed it too will be there next time aswell, but i still dunno which on you were lmao

[Jenn]

I was the asian female Mars Bwhahaha. Everyone eventually found out who I was though anyway.

@ Faery it was indeed.

[Mars]

i wasnt really paying attention i was just randomly posting now an then the only ones i knew were jemma becuz i was with her an jebus lol

[Jenn]

If you sat near Jebus then you would have seen me. XD Maybe next time. :]

scheduling suggestion: don't run the two most popular comps (poker and tf2) at the same time <3

For me it seems to get harder to stay awake the whole time the more times u go i havnt managed to stay awake for an entire respawn since the first few i went to ages ago

[Jenn]

Hope that doesn't happen to me! Although I used to stay awake a lot then I went to normal sleeping times.. Then Respawn came, so I think I can handle it in the future as well. The night before I couldn't sleep because I was thinking about some made up strategy game in my own head.

i know the feeling

[Gambull]

Anticipation realy sucks for things like respawn because you realy need the sleep befor it (well i do atleast)

[missingo]

awww, no love for rack1/2

[GLaDOS]

Was also my first Respawn and I can definitely say it won't be my last.

Agreed, I tried sleeping earlier for Respawn and I ended up sleeping later than I usually would.

[Jenn]

@Miss; He was a meanie bum D:

@Glad; Yeah I think a lot of people are like that haha.

uploading a 14min lan video later tonight

[Worthless]

Iron gut was clearly not good enough. Is that all you've got?

[Gambull]

uploading a 14min lan video later tonight

Great video, exept for the Iron Gut part, that was just dark, loud and confusing
