Gaming Friday: Pittco Iron Storm XIII Lan Party

The LAN started off pretty well, people started to file in and get setup.  After about an hour there was a big issue, the internet was barely working.  This slowed things down for people who were not already authenticated on steam, needed to update steam or patch a game.  While the Pittco staff worked on the problems they were still able to run many of the tournaments and there was a lot of people playing game on the consoles.

After a while people were used to not having the internet really.  I mean you are at a LAN party to game with the people around you not on the internet.  Also of different games were being played, someone put up an Unreal Tournament 2004 Instagib server which was awesome!  That is one thing that is great about LAN Parties is the random games you can start playing.

Late at night there was a little competition on who could throw a mouse into a trash can.  The catch was you had to throw the mouse by the cord.  It was quite entertaining to watch!

As far as mods go there were only a few that we spotted.  The best one was a display case that was made to show off this guys system.  He said that home he actually has it mounted on the wall.

Another notable case was one with a red design and pretty cool watercooling setup.

All in all this was a great LAN Party and we were happy to be part of it.  If you live anywhere near Pittsburgh this is one event you are going to want to check out!  For more information on Pittco you can check out their website.
