When I was 16 I could get 4 or 5 people to come over to my house on a week night with almost zero advanced notice. I am now 30 and
-
I don’t know 4 or 5 people
-
It would take 3-4 weeks to get everyone’s schedule to line up
-
Half of everyone would cancel because they didn’t feel like going out
True, these are valid problems.
Here is how I do it and yes I know I am very privileged.
- Have a DISCORD with everyone who might attend in it.
- Pick 3-4 dates at least a month in advanced. Have people list witch dates work for them. Pick the one with the most open spots.
- Tell my work building supervisor that I want to use our training room for a LAN party (We have a good history of this and it brings in other coworkers. So like team building stuff).
- (Optional but effective and makes it seems like you have a plan) Draw up a tentative schedule with which games you are playing and how long you are going to be playing. Add Chill Time/Extension time in case people want a break between games or want to play more.
Good Luck!
Man do I hate discord though

Maybe it’s not everyone, but at 37 I feel much less interested in socializing in the first place.
I bowed out of a friend’s recent LAN bc every time they just play Halo and Age of Mythology and they’re all super good at both and I’m terrible at both (and not interested in playing either game tbh).
Oof, your loss mate. Real shame.

This meme was made pre-tariff.
I prefer red bull. Drinking isn’t conducive to all night gaming.
No love for Bawls? When I was younger the best LAN parties had Bawls. I think they still make it; no idea if it tastes the same.
in college, I was renting a house with 3 roommates who were all gamers. We used to host a LAN party every month or so. Our record was 30 people in the house playing at the same time.
I miss those days
Right, only get the pizza thats actually good and not a fake Instagram hype
We can afford to buy massive PCs that will die of boredom as we play Minecraft. And if we can’t we sure as hell can afford a loan.
If I get drunk I get extra sleepy. Unless I get really drunk, then I get insomnia despite feeling sleepy as fuck
I bought 2 Xbox 360, can do 4 players halo lan party with friends now
