It's that time again... where we lan... at my house.



Anyone remember last year? I don't. I was pretty trashed. So here's the deal. Due to the economy, me losing my job (found out yesterday that our show was cancelled), and not having any money, this year's Penguinlan won't be as "xtreme" as last years. We won't be having live DJ sets and we won't be having ten foot Rockband.

We will, however, have tons of BBQ and Booze. We will have lots of Hottub and Video Games. This year it will take place at the new Pwnzord HQ. Imagine the last house... then multiply the awesome factor by 9000.

So, when is this awesome shit happening? August 21-23.

Those of you who are still confused about what this is... here's the wrap-up thread from last year: http://www.wdfnews.com/w...guinlan-2K8-WrapUp.aspx




Those of you who can make it, here's what to bring:

Computer (duh)
Mouse
Keyboard
Monitor
Headphones
Booze
Power Cables
Good Attitude
Booze
Anything else you think you might need
Booze.


For those of you traveling long distance, we have the following available on a first come first serve basis so that you don't have to travel with it:

6x 19" CRT Screens
3x Spare Keyboards
2x Spare Laser Mice
9000x various power and component cables
5x Headphones
0x Good Attitude


We don't have spare computers. If you want to play with us, you'll need that. Please note that we also have an Xbox 360 and a Wii... so if you decide not to bring your rig you can play that shit. We also have a media archive containing over 460 blu-ray films and 30 or so full television series, all watchable on our 56" funtube.


Here's the schedule for Penguinlan:

Friday 8/21: Meet and greet. This would be a good day to arrive. We'll be getting people situated in terms of rig setups and space allocation. We'll also be meeting people and catching up with old friends. We have a ton of space, but prime real estate will be given out on a first come first serve basis. There are two couches. The rest of you will take the floor. Remember that. Also, we have more than enough clean, and I repeat, CLEAN pillows, blankets, etc. Nothing makes me feel grosser than sleeping on other peoples dirty pillows and blankets... so I make sure our spares are super clean.


Saturday 8/22: Party. Those of you that were here last year or the year before remember this part. Sadly it won't be as epic as last years, but it should be pretty fucking fun. This is when we put the lan on hold for the most part and socialize. This is also when we invite all of our other real friends over for some party and stuff. It's a good time. SirLordPoop will most likely get hammered and make a jolly ol' fool of himself. Not to be missed.

Sunday 8/23: Ouch day. WTF was I thinking last night?!?!?! This will be the day of homemade breakfast/hangover cures. This will also be the last time to lan it up. Friday and Sunday will be the major lan days. Everyone must gtfo of here by 11pm Sunday.

It is also important to know that my house is fucking incredible. We have lasers.





Games we will be playing:

Sins of a Solar Empire

TF2

That's it so far. I'm open to suggestions. I really hope a few of you can make it this year. I know it's short notice and the date, unfortunately, has changed due to Sirus and Dick Cheney attending burning man during PAX.

Lead Salad... wanna be my PAX buddy this year?
