Most people call me Shap, I go by the gamer tag of BigFNDeal! I am a frequent LAN attendee throughout the are, I have run LANs and am infact putting together a small LAN and a Bigger LAN right now both for this year. I was very excited this weekend to meet all the people that came out for the LAN. I had a great time and am anxiously looking forward to the 150! Also, I will likely be attending QC in Dallas, so hopefully we can have a great time there also.

Hey bro...

It was great meeting you guys as well!  I hope our little lan provided a good gaming time for you.  I know that as an administrator... sometimes its great to just be able to show up at a lan, and not have to worry about anything but gaming!

I'm Kevin (Nameless1), 22 years old and living in Harrisburg, PA.  I typically spend all of  my free time on a free web based game, known throughout its community as KoL. I've spent a little over two years playing that game, and I'll probably be playing it for another two or more.

I think I'll stop now before I start trying to recruit you all to play. I'll probably post about it somewhere else in these forums anyways...provided that it's allowed of course.

I'm making 2 greetings here on behalf of myself and one other guy that I know is going.

I'm Ken, 27, also known as VinceGun. I live in Mount Wolf (let's just say York, because I'm so close anywho) and I work at your friendly neighborhood East York Target. (4am shift, bleh.)

The other guy is Fred, 20something, also known as Yak. He lives south of Baltimore (I think) and is the guy that clued me in on this whole spiel.

Together we are...... only part of [ARC]. However, we're a hell of a pair of snipers. Watch your back....  8)

Deeeee strooooooy. Y'all just wait until we get in our groove AND are wired with caffeine.


Btw... that whole scene out of clone wars with the guns and 'splosions and junk is truly awesome. I'm especially fond of how the one guy jumped up and into the tank, took out the soldiers and hopped out before it exploded, all like a genuine badass. Point of interest.... remember what their leader called them? That's right, ARC TROOPERS. Catch my drift?  :instagib:

Hey, everyone.  My name is Randall.  29, Danville, PA.  Work in a small (3 man) IT company supporting 30+ local businesses and more home users.  Been running a mini-LAN (about 6-16 people, 1  every month) for friends and friends of friends for several years now.  Ran across your site about a year and 1/2 ago, and wanted to attend the big LAN then, but other commitments interfered.  This time it worked and I'm dragging 4 others along.  Looking forward to gaming without being in charge (and probably losing horribly).

Hi. My name is Ryan. I currently live in Alexandria, VA (for a whole week now). I was looking for local lans (DC area), and FITES was the closest thing I could find that was anytime soon! It's only a 2-1/2 hour drive (I have driven further for lans).

I went to DO in Providence last year (can't make it this year, SUCK!), along with EXILE in Albany, and some other lans around CT.

I lived in eastern PA waaaaaay long ago, so I'm looking forward to a frag-filled victorious return to the region.  :2thumbsup:

Hey folks, my name is Ed and I got invited to this whole thing. Y'know how people always say things like "Oh, I'm going to go own some noobs today" or "Clearly you are not a 1337 haxxor for you are full of suck, noob."?

I'm the noob.

Practicing though. I mainly play counterstrike (noob) but I can pick up just about any game and play it at a level that isn't embarrassingly bad. We'll see how this goes, eh?

Thanks, guys looking forward to this LAN.

BTW:  Any advice on avoiding traffic on the way up.  I am coming from Delaware so I will use RT 30 and then RT 238  to get to the LAN.  I temporary worked in Harrisburg and remember that traffic around that area was a pain.

I expect to getting into the area 05:30 or 06:00.
Title: Re: Let's Introduce Ourselves
Post by: vincegun on February 07, 2010, 05:14:51 PM
What part of Delaware? If you're already thinking of hitting 30, you might just want to stay on 30 and hit 83 and then get a straight shot up from there. You'll avoid Harrisburg completely. 83 will be a little crowded around that time being Friday and all, but it'd be better than having to go through Harrisburg, I would think.

This is what I got when I just did "Delaware" to the actual address for the lan on google maps.

Link (http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&source=s_d&saddr=Delaware&daddr=5401+CARLISLE+PIKE+MECHANICSBURG,+PA&hl=en&geocode=FXC7UQIdCop_-yk71gxNdgXHiTF46ASMEi0dlA%3BFb4DZgIdXFZp-ym1ex6rlMLIiTHJpTvm7GxjNg&mra=ls&sll=37.0625,-95.677068&sspn=43.123021,74.619141&ie=UTF8&ll=39.982382,-76.468964&)
Title: Re: Let's Introduce Ourselves
Post by: JimDiGriz on February 07, 2010, 08:23:42 PM
I am in Northern Delaware, the quickest way without traffic is North on R41 to Gap and then West on 30 to RT 283.   

BTW:  I live just off RT41 south of Hockessin. 

I ran the numbers, taking Rt 30 to 83 as you suggest is 2 hours and 2 minutes.  The google maps suggested route is 1 hours and 52 minutes.   I think the RT30 to 83 is a good option as it avoids the mixing bowl at the turnpike, 283 and 83.

The whole beltway is tough at that time, the hotel is right off the exit so you wont have to fight the traffic in Camp Hill or Mechanicsburg getting there.
Title: Re: Let's Introduce Ourselves
Post by: vincegun on February 08, 2010, 09:34:33 PM
Yup, I'll back that hotel off the exit bit. You can clearly see it as you come to the exit and are pulling off. The nice bit about this place we'll be at is that we're on a loooooooong stretch of road that has plenty of food and gas joints all along it.

Awesome! Always glad to see new faces! And it's a good thing that you love video games. Would really suck to go to a LAN if you didn't like video games or even marginally enjoy them.

Regardless, hope your first time at one of these crazy geekfests won't be your last! :)

Good morning everyone. A local from the south eastern portion of Pennsylvania. I have been a gamer for quite a long time (been playing the consoles since I was at least 4). Recently I was able to build myself a mid-high ranged Gaming PC and I'm glad I did. I still own a good range of consoles, however, and most importantly, I do own an Xbox 360.

I am continuously looking forward to upgrading my PC in order to have the most intense games bow down to me xD. Though I am happy with my current specs and patient enough to wait til I have enough to do some considerable upgrading (Getting me a Phenom II X4 940 CPU). Anyway hopefully I can arrange myself to join in the fun at this LAN Party.

Oh and before I forget here are some games I play:
Modern Warfare 2
Unreal Tournament (original, 2004, and 3)
Battlefield 2
Battlefield: Bad Company 2
Left 4 Dead
Counter Strike Source
Team Fortress 2
Quake Live
and quite a few others that people may find interesting or silly

Welcome! We have yearly large scale lans. Our next will be early in 2011 and is slated for 200 people. We just had a small ~30 person lan last weekend. However, we do play every weekend in the evening and meet on our teamspeak server, goof around, and play some games.

If you're interested, we'll be on Friday and Saturday night beginning around 8 or 9pm and going in to the morning. Meet up on teamspeak over at fites.is-into-games.com (teamspeak 3) and you`ll see us on. Due to the left 4 dead 2 DLC coming out tonight, a few of us have expressed interest in playing that though it may quickly become BFBC2 as the night goes on.

Enjoy our active forums and feel free to ask any questions you may have. Welcome aboard!
Title: Re: Let's Introduce Ourselves
Post by: ChrisR91 on April 22, 2010, 10:50:03 AM
Oh I'm sure I'll have the time to join tomorrow and Saturday. However I get on pretty late on Saturdays due to my job (I work at a movie theater at least one day and its almost every Saturday), but I still am able to get on and game.

And I'm definitely eager to play some L4D2 and The Passing. Let's just hope it isn't postponed again. But we always have BFBC2.

Hey guys,

Thought I'd go ahead and introduce myself.  I've been playing PC Games since as long as I can remember and love the PC Gaming scene.  Its great to see a thriving community of avid gamers and to see a LAN community still alive and well!  I live and work in the Harrisburg area and hope to make it out to your next party with a group of guys that I run LANs with.  Looks like a great time!

Since 2007, we've been putting on bi-annual LANs (20-30 people).  It started as a small group of college buddies getting back together after moving away after school,  and has steadily grown with each LAN.  We've come to call it LegendaryLAN and are thinking of starting a website, etc.  Hopefully we can learn from your vast experience!

I play the following games fairly regularly with our group, it would be great to join in with you guys from time to time:
-Starcraft II
-Counterstrike: Source
-Left4Dead 2
-Master of Orion 2
-Lord of the Rings Online
-League of Legends
...and others

See you around...

Hey Tycho, you wouldn't happen to hold those LAN's at a house on Chambers Hill Rd., would you? I drove past there a few months ago and there was a sign by the road that said "LAN Party"....Just a shot in the dark, I know, but it's always exciting to me to discover new LAN groups that we can assimilate, er, I uh, mean, game with :)
Title: Re: Let's Introduce Ourselves

Nope, not Chambers Hill Road.  North Highlands Drive in Lower Paxton, on the East shore. 

Neat to hear random LAN parties are popping up from time to time.    Our next one is slated for January 21-22 and we love having anyone and everyone join in, so long as you leave your Borg Queen at home (is that you, Sully?).

Some good LAN times ahead with RN Gaming, ours and FITES in the next couple months.  Harrisburg pc gaming is alive and well!

so is bringing a console pointless? most of my friends attending were wondering what would be best to bring, since not all of them have gaming PCs.

Bringing your own is great and guarantees you always have one to play on.

Make sure you bring everything you need for that PS3. Power cables, a display device. All that stuff. Controllers.

Alex, 17 yrs old in 11th grade, an avid gamer been busy with Fallout New Vegas lately, have my easy classes this  semester  8) I'm a Boy Scout (very close to earning Eagle Scout), self employed fixing peoples computer for $ and  A+ Certified. I also own an Xbox but the only game I have as of now is HALO Reach, sadly don't have XBL yet  :'(

I was reading the latest issue of CPU magazine and saw your LAN listed as I'm an AVID LAN goer and may get to attend your LAN next weekend, if I can find transportation up from Charlotte, which is pretty unlikely.

Do you have a ticket for the lan?

Welcome. Hop on the Teamspeak server one of these nights and play with us. What game(s) are you playing at the moment?

Welcome, indeed! I'd like to second Twins' suggestion to hit up our teamspeak. It seems rather active most evenings around 8-9pm and after.

Hello. I'm sure I'm older than most of you (I'm not telling). I'm local to Harrisburg and have been doing IT all of my life. I just found the central PA reddit sub which caused me to find this site. I hope to start posting here often as I do some gaming and also there isn't many geek related forums for Central Pennsylvania.I've always wanted to do a LAN party, but never got around to it. I hope to buy a gaming rig in the spring so maybe I'll be able to make the next LAN party and you guys can turn me into fragments.  :2thumbsup:

Our oldest staffer is 40.

C`mon, you've got a couple weeks to get a gaming rig together! :) We hold smaller events in Lancaster county throughout the year so you won't have to wait a full year to get in on the fun.

It's tempting, but I am WAY busy right now. I'm also UN-decided about whether I want to wait for the Haswell architecture to be released before buying my rig. I'm also working graveyard which makes everything a hassle. There's just no way I could make it by the 22nd.

We also play games online and I think a couple other staffers work graveyard. So your schedules might work out for online play.

Right now, this is the only game I'm playing. http://www.freeallegiance.org/ (http://www.freeallegiance.org/)

I've been involved in the community since it's inception, but R/L keeps me from playing more often.

I played Allegiance when it was first out.  I might have to check into that and see about playing it again.  I loved the hell out of that game.

Yeah I am still living.  Haven't had much time for anything other than the family lately.  Got married over the summer and things are starting to get back to some semblance of normal.  Might try to make it on for some friday or saturday night gaming.

Dude I could have sworn Rathe was killed by Gerbils a few summers back.

I survived the gerbil attack.  That was part of the reason I was gone for a while.

Hello, my name is Tylor (pronounced like Tuh-Lore)

I am twenty-three years old and I live in Roanoke, VA (South Virginia). I've worked in film production and sound engineering for around five years. I am currently planing on going back to college and majoring in something useful lol. I enjoy playing music, discussing film theory, practicing martial arts, and fraging pixel peoples. I've worked with computers since an early age, but I'm looking to build my first gaming computer soon-ish. Add me on steam if you want to chat, thanks for having me in such a wonderful community :)

I would love to make it out to 250 but it looks like that's not going to happen this time around :( maybe next time.
