Sometimes you just need to fling your limbs around like a lunatic. It's the whole social side of things -- or heck, anything BEYOND flinging your limbs around like a lunatic. They both have their place... but LAN parties are better in almost every other regard (you could fling your limbs around at a LAN, but you might get thrown out...)

Its like..pay to turn up to this dark, hot, ridiculously noisy place, buy overpriced drinks purely for the minimal chance of getting with some random whose name you won't even work out until the next morning. How romantic. LAN Parties FTW, but lack of girls is an issue. So yep, what you said :D I never really *got* clubbing.

Most non-geeks find them a little bit scary. And a little bit... er... weird. But I guess there must be some intelligent types like you that appreciate the future of entertainment and partying...!

Being a non-geek, I've never known of them. Cheers for that. They look like immense fun, or immense and fun. Whichever you prefer. Keep writing, capturing, putting stuff out there.

Usually it's a real pain to lug your gear around, but with everyone on campus... it's one huge LAN party just waiting to happen. (This isn't to say that I didn't go clubbing while at university... we would often go out clubbing and then return for drunk LANing... :P) Keep a hold of that boyfriend...!

He proudly stated "So TRUE! I'd go LANing before clubbing ANY DAY!" Then he saw the picture and almost died lol Yup, I am not a proud member of the geek world by association. Who knew, huh? I have no doubt I'll end up at one of these LAN parties one day. Even though I only found out the existed a few weeks back when I had to do a Uni paper on gaming.........I shouldn't be admitting that here though, should I? LAN away, my geeky friend :) My favourite part of reading this post was when my bf looked over my shoulder and saw the title. He proudly stated “So TRUE! I’d go LANing before clubbing ANY DAY!”
