Hello my everybody. Times for the debriefing. *sighs happily* Now that pants are out of the way, I may proceed with a little glimpse at the LAN.

These are 10 reasons no one should ever invite me to a LAN. Ever.

10. I will forget everyone's name. Seriously. Everyone else remembers me, but I just bluff my way through until someone else mentions their name.
9.
I'll spend at least 3 hours installing different applications or games, completely intertwined with reason 2.
8. I'm more likely to pace continually, or agitate others than ever go to the bathroom.
7. I will take a shining to a game on the only computer that's using Linux, and cannot transfer over the network.
6. When I do actually play, I will lose my temper quickly as people continually look at my screen, a habit I have long ago eliminated.
5. I will harass James for a good deal of the night, normally by exploiting keyboard buttons or hindering line of sight.
4. I will use pop-culture references incessantly, targeting audiences to either annoy, or amuse.
3. My rig is basically a waste of space: able to be in just the wrong configuration so I'm able to play the least games possible (this time, it was the Voodoo 4 Trav leant to me)
2. I enjoy waiting until people are at their happiest, then I begin leeching of their share, bringing their gaity to an abrupt end.
1. I take great pleasure from making people go out of their way to have me play games, then flat out refusing to. Not playing games is some kind of LAN Zen for me.


I'd mention reasons they should, but I can't really think of any. Anyway, onto a VERY brief overview of the LAN. Out of around 70 people that were either supposed to come to spectate or participate, we had about 10. That included Simon, Jade and myself. Pretty poor.
