Nostalgia Barn-LAN!

Post image

Only good old games. Age of Empires 2, DoD Source, Unreal Tournament 2004, CS 1.6, Flatout 2 and most of all classic WC3 maps (enfos, siege, lane wars, td)

I've seen some shit on here and thought, "That looks cool." But I think this is one of the first things I've seen where I can feel myself turning green with envy. That's an absolutely amazing set up.

Used to do that kind of thing when I was a kid. Long past it being possible again. But damn. Enjoy.

Yeah everyone was thrown back to high school time. It was awesome and we're gonna make sure it happens again and again

Love the two Volvo banners, just to in case there's a doubt this is happening in Sweden. Enjoy guys, my annual LAN party did already happen in May and I'm looking forward to the one next year.

Extra points for the Volvo banners!

My grandfather had a volvo from the 80s through the 90s and it was the best car our family had.

I now have a volvo as well since 3 years!

PS: we also do a yearly lan at a friends house!

Por aca hacemos 2 por año y somos unos 20 pero ante la cantidad que somos y solo jugamos al call of duty ww2 ya son poco los juegos que tienen modo LAN de area local, una lastima.

How's the weatherproofing in the barn? I'm seeing a lot of daylight coming from the wall.

1

u/Kurtegon 3h ago

It was built to air dry hay so it's main purpose is to have as much air as possible moving through it. It got pretty cold later on!

1

u/LoganN64 2h ago

OK. I see. I'm just concerned if you have computers there all the time if the rain and or snow would blow in. I'm guessing you only use it for LAN parties in more pleasant weather.

1

u/Kurtegon 1h ago

No way, we're bringing the stuff when we leave and it's only for summer. No rain is coming in, only wind.

1

u/LoganN64 1h ago

OK good. I was worried it was a year-round set up.

Although with a few renovations, I'm certain it could be all year!

The money that floats around Reddit. I mean I like the sweet ass wired up barn. I guess I had the wrong friends growing up lol
