LAN party: bunch of people with computers playing games for a day (or two, or if we can get eveyone free for long enough, a week (with breaks for other things, and at least one day of doing something outside) :P), all connected, in the same room, great fun.


LARP: Live Action Role Playing: dressing up as your character then doing fighting in costume. (to quote Yahtzee) The geeks who are to most geeks what geeks are to normal people. looks fun though

LARPing is fun
There are some astoundingly geeky (and creepy) people who do it, but most are just people out for a laugh, a fight in the woods, and plenty of booze!

The summer ones tend to involve a lot of frisbee and BBQing during the day
Plus whatever other outdoor stuff the person who's house it's at has.
Most of the gaming is on rubbish weather days or overnight.

Dammit, this is why I shouldn't get into conversations on b3ta
Just extended my lunch break from revision by about half an hour, enough that there's not enough time left before my programming class to be worth doing any until this evening...

Meh, we enjoy it
And it's with the same bunch of people I'll be going on a walking holiday in the lake district with later in the summer, so it all evens out in the end.
