A large room in Kulhavi Hall was lit only by the unearthly glow of 70 computer monitors and cases this weekend.
The Big Shot Gaming Local Area Network (LAN) Party opened its doors Friday to about 75 participants and lasted for 36 hours of competitive gaming action until 6 a.m. Sunday.
A LAN party is a gathering where many gamers get together to compete in games and enjoy seeing their potential deathmatch victims in person.
While LAN parties classically refer to a gathering of computers on a LAN in order to play PC games, they often encompass console games as well. The
event had several Xbox 360s, a Nintendo Wii and a Nintendo 64.
“It’s still better than any LAN I’ve been to. The variety keeps it going,” said Ryan Lawera, a Macomb Community College junior from Romeo.
Big Shot Gaming is the alumni group for the Student Electronic Gaming Association (SEGA), a registered student organization.
Lawera drove 2.5 hours to participate in the gaming celebration.
