DreamHack 2011
« on: November 30, 2011, 08:55:46 PM »
Via Slashdot, Extremetech brings us a look at the world's largest LAN Party, Dreamhack, held in Jonkoping, Sweden with 12,000 (that's over 9000!) LAN-goers.

Oh, did I mention the 120 GIGAbit internet!? Even with a pipe that monstrous, I'm pretty sure they had on-site servers for BF3 and other non-LAN support games.


P.S. Make sure you check out the slideshow at the Extremetech link...pic 5 specfically ;)

Please just walk away. I don't want to have to stand here and say something so awesome that I'll have to remember it the rest of the day. Thank you!
