The air hung thick with the scent of stale pizza and triumph. Empty energy drink cans littered the floor like fallen soldiers after a great battle. Across the room, Alkali leaned back in his chair, a victorious grin plastered across his face. Beside him, Eclipse was meticulously wiping down his keyboard, a faint sheen of sweat on his forehead. The LAN party, their brainchild, had been a resounding success. More people than they’d ever dreamed had shown up, fostering a vibrant atmosphere of friendly competition and camaraderie.

Alkali cleared his throat, the sound amplified slightly by the lingering hum of the servers. He grabbed the microphone, a slightly battered thing that had seen better days, and tapped it. “Alright, everyone, listen up!” he announced, his voice surprisingly strong. “Before we all collapse into well-deserved sleep-deprived comas, I wanted to say a massive thank you to each and every one of you for making this LAN party the absolute legend it was.” Eclipse, ever the pragmatist, discreetly added a few extra USB flash drives to the giveaway pile in the corner. “We’ve seen some incredible gameplay, some hilariously bad decisions, and a level of sportsmanship I honestly wasn’t expecting. You all brought the energy, the laughs, and the competitive spirit that makes events like this so unforgettable.” He paused, letting the appreciation settle in the room.

Then, with a mischievous glint in his eye, Alkali added, “And special thanks to the volunteers, who worked all year to make this event a reality. And to those who managed to make the pizza disappear before midnight: you’re heroes. Seriously though, thanks again to everyone. We couldn’t have pulled this off without you. Let’s do this again next year…but maybe with slightly more sleep involved?” A wave of cheers and laughter erupted, a perfect ending to a perfect night of pixels, pizza, and perfectly imperfect camaraderie. The hum of the cooling fans became a lullaby, the echo of their collective victory fading into the quiet dawn.

> Write an announcement for Quake on the Lake 2025 LAN Party in Seven Springs PA from July 20-26. It costs $500 per person. Make it sound good, not like AI wrote it.

The worn leather of the messenger bag felt comforting against Eclipse’s shoulder as he strode into the Seven Springs rental property. He’d spent the last week meticulously crafting the announcement for Quake on the Lake 2025 – a LAN party of legendary proportions, promising to be the biggest yet. He checked his watch; Alkali, his brother and partner in this ambitious endeavor, should be here any minute. Eclipse envisioned the headline: Quake on the Lake 2025: Unleash the Fury! He’d even incorporated a custom-designed logo – a pixelated lake monster rising from the waves, clutching a golden frag grenade. The price tag – $500 per person – was steep, but Eclipse believed the immersive experience he and Alkali were creating justified the cost. He imagined the attendees, faces illuminated by the glow of monitors, the rhythmic clicking of keyboards a hypnotic symphony. (Eclipse: Lead Organizer, coding wizard, and logistical mastermind.)

Alkali arrived, breathless, a whirlwind of nervous energy and caffeine. “Eclipse, I’ve got the sponsorship deals finalized! We’ve got Faust providing top-tier equipment, and Bawls is supplying enough energy drinks to fuel a small army!” He thrust a folder brimming with contracts into Eclipse’s hands. The initial anxieties of planning such a large event, involving hundreds of players from across the country, started to melt away. But then Alkali hesitated, a shadow crossing his usually bright face. “There’s one snag…the lake… it’s rumored to be haunted.” (Alkali: Marketing genius, master of persuasion, and self-proclaimed paranormal investigator.)

Eclipse chuckled, dismissing it as local folklore. “Alkali, it’s a lake. Haunted or not, it adds a bit of mystique to the whole ‘Quake on the Lake’ theme.” They finalized the announcement, adding a playful line about the lake’s “legendary residents” at the end. The official press release went live, the image of the pixelated lake monster suddenly imbued with a slightly more sinister edge. The $500 price tag, once a source of apprehension, felt less daunting now; it was a price of admission to an unforgettable event – one that promised thrilling competition and maybe, just maybe, a glimpse into the supernatural. The countdown to Quake on the Lake 2025 had begun.

DGS Back from the Dead LAN: November 9th 2024

The Dead Gamers Society is “Back from the Dead” on November 9th 2024, beginning at 10am in Medina. This is an early start time, with the hopes that we will have longer to play during the day. So show up early and get your full day’s worth of fun! We will have some sandwiches or something pre-made for lunch, while supplies last. Grilling the hot dogs always takes me away from the LAN setup for too long during a critical time in the event, so we are trying sandwiches for the early arrivers. Pizza dinner will also be ordered in the evening. Please bring a drink or snack to share with the group as well as $5 to put towards dinner.

It’s been a while since the last LAN, so we will celebrate being back from the dead with some Left 4 Dead 2. Check out Overcooked 2, which is another arcade style teamwork game. You can also count on our usual favorites such as Rocket League, Jedi Knight 2, Overwatch, etc. If you want to play it, we will play it! Discuss what you want to play in our Discord channel!
