The year is 2003, Saddam Hussain has been captured, and the US is considering invading Iraq. “Seven Nation Army”, “Stacy’s Mom” and “Bring me to life” are topping the charts. The Lord of the Rings: Return of the King is in theatres, the latest social media site Myspace has just been launched, the SARS CoV-1 virus has FINALLY been contained.
In the gaming realm, Knights of the Old Republic and Tony Hawk: Underground are the latest in gaming culture. The Nvidia FX 5700 aka “the leafblower” was released, with a whopping 128mb of RAM, people’s lawns have never been cleaner.
At whatever community hall would accept a ragtag group of hardcore overnight gamers, Nigel “Probatus” Wheat, Terry “Terdog” Matthews, Marcus “BoXstA” Verhoeven, and David “Redmonov” Redmond were hosting the first MegaFPS LAN parties, entrance fee was $20 and the game of choice was Battlefield 1942.
Yes that’s right, it's been a bit of a longer break than expected, but MegaFPS is now 20 (or 21) years old, old enough to drink in Vegas! So we’re celebrating by FINALLY getting back to LANNING.
What: JanLAN 2024! A friendly LAN party in Edmonton open to any and all gamers!
Entrance fee: $20, same as it was 21 years ago! To be honest, inflation is catching up with us, so we’ll probably have to increase entry fees after this event but we’re holding it at $20 for our 21-year anniversary.
