I had the pleasure of working with Brendon, Senior Community Manager at Mega Brands Inc., in putting together a LAN party during Toy Fair. Below is the set up. We had 16 consoles with a 25 inch tv for each, and wireless controllers. This photos was right at the beginning before everyone showed up, so it shows the set up more clearly.
I’m in the red (Iron Man) t-shirt. The fellow taking the pic of me is Brendon. The other seated fellows are friends of mine from my gaming group on XBOX Live. (Rated Mature) or www.ratedmature.net. We’re Rated Mature because we are a 18 and over group. Feel free to check out the group if your looking for a fun group of adults. We’re not so much concerned with skill as we are having fun people to play with.
Anyway, back to the LAN for a moment. During the gaming session, prizes were given out. Anything from small Mega Bloks Halo blok sets, to the not yet in stores Battlescape II set, to copies of Halo Reach. Look for a contest shortly here to win a free copy of Halo Reach. (It also comes with the code for Recon (In Reach, not Halo 3…). Details on that tomorrow.
We had several games. We played some team games, then free for all slayer, then to end the night a free for all King of the Hill match. Winner got the Battlescape II. (I wasn’t the winner, sadface…heh heh)
