LAN Party IX

April 28, 2006 in Plumely Armory from 4:00 pm to 4:00 am.

Why We Host Them

NU-ACM hosts lan parties typically at least once per semester. By doing this we are providing our members with hands on experience for setting up networks. NU-ACM is able to get hardware loaned from our Information Technology department giving us access to more than your usual Linksys routers and switches. Also members gain experience in event planning, and execution, from food to getting the space, students run it all. Oh, and we also like the Games.

So Whats the Big Deal?

To our knowledge we host one of, if not the largest lan party in Vermont. with attendance approaching 90 people at our events we offer a gaming experience far beyond your basement Lan Party. With gaming beginning at 3 pm going until 3 am you can more than get your fill of your favorite games like Counter-Strike:Source, Unreal Tournament, and Battlefield for the PC. Or if XBOX is your device of choice we have games like HALO, HALO 2, and Madden. These XBOX's are networked together to give you a game size of up to 16 players, It's like XBOX live, only you can yell at the person next to you!

So why not Just play Online?

When you play online can you compete for awesome prizes like gift certificates and merchandise just for beating your friends in a HALO or Counter-strike Tournament?

What else goes on at our Lan Parties?

At the Lan party there is Pizza from Depot Square, Soda, Chips and cookies to keep you going. There will be music provided by a DJ creating the Atmosphere all night long. Movies are projected and you can tune in to listen to the audio
