Aug 16, 2007 — When Joshua Wolfer, 28, was a criminal justice major at Shippensburg University, he said, he lived with a few computer geeks.

Three apartments of guys linked their computers and spent hours playing games. What started out as a side project turned into a business, and now Wolfer is the administrator of FITES, a computer gaming LANParty that stands for Frag Infinity Tournament (Extreme Slaying).

"I kinda fell into this by mistake," he said.

Wolfer is hosting a 40-hour LANParty this weekend at the Holiday Inn Holidome, 2000 Loucks Road, West Manchester Township. Up to 150 gamers equipped with their computers will battle it out in tournaments playing "Battlefield 2," "CounterStrike Source," "Unreal Tournament 2004," "Call of Duty 2" and "StarCraft: Broodwar."

Wolfer said the war games are called first-person shooter games, so the players run around the virtual world with guns in hand taking care of business. Trophies are awarded to the winners. Players must be 13 or older.

By harnessing the power of the sun and the wind... we were able to get 8,001 Tb/s!

Yay...
