To celebrate my Birthday this year we are hosting a LAN party!
A few clan members and friends will be coming over to stay for the weekend 1st to the 3rd of July bringing along their PC’s, a blow up bed each and plenty of their favourite tipple.

In preperation I’ve been configuring an IBM 2u Quad Core Xeon server which is currently whurring away in the spare room while I load it with game server instances.
We’ll be hosting games such as Counter-Strike Source, Left 4 Dead 2, COD 4, and a few more hopefully.
Might throw in a couple of driving games or something too!
With the lack of a LAN option in Battlefield Bad Company 2 we may use the public server and lock it with a password for a match or two.
Those that couldn’t make it in person may join us on our LAN games from outside although the slots may be limited due to bandwidth constraints, although talking of bandwidth I do have a 30Mbps fibre here and may increase it to 50Mbps for July.
Either way, it’s going to be an awesome weekend of gaming, BBQ’s, fun and frags; I can’t wait!
