| 567294 | 2007-07-10 05:34:00 | By all accounts the BGLan is a goodie, but it kinda pales compared to the xLan shown on TV last night eh! ;) | Greg (193) | ||
| 567295 | 2007-07-11 06:15:00 | I was actually at xLAN ;) I personally prefer my lan but I might be biased. Bigger doesn't ALWAYS mean better, despite what the women tell you! |

| 567296 | 2007-07-11 11:14:00 | Bigger doesn't ALWAYS mean better, despite what the women tell you!I never heard that before! :D But I agree with you - your LANs obviously work and the guys like it, so keep em coming. |

| 567297 | 2007-07-12 09:59:00 | :D I already have my PC already that time, but no car license yet, and I don't see the point hanging out there since I don't have games that suited for that LAN. I'll be nice to suck up the power over there if you have Intel Extreme Edition CPU. :lol: |

| 567298 | 2007-07-15 20:17:00 | PedalSlammer - what games do you play? I can only actually list a fraction of the more played games on that list. Also there's something awesome about playing good games for the first time in a well set up multiplayer setting ;) It's looking good people, don't forget to sign up and prepay now if you're interested in coming! Today's the last day to go into a draw to win a 10$ discount voucher from Elemental Gaming. Also, Thursday's the last day to enter the prepay prize draw of a PurePwnage tshirt. |
