DGS LAN Announcement! March 26, 2016

It’s that time again… Work is underway planning our yearly Quake on the Lake (now featuring a lake!) event, but in the meantime it’s time to meet up and play LAN games Saturday, March 26th at 12:00 noon. Starting with our now traditional hot dog lunch for the early arrivals, we will have all day and well into the night to play LAN games, ping pong, watch movies, hang out, or whatever you want to do down in Seville.

Rocket League remains popular these days, so plan on playing some of that. Maybe make a team and crush some noobs online? ArtemisCon is coming up, so take command of a starship and take the Kobayashi Maru test yourself. I’ll be demoing the new Half Life 3 beta, and afterwards there will be cake. Ok, the cake was a lie.

As always, the DC hub will be up, and you can enjoy TV and Movies on the home theater between games. Start hashing your files now, and we’ll see you on March 26th at noon!

QotL Housing Discussion

QotL is growing, and with that comes challenges. We started this season looking at different cities to find an affordable house near some activities. However, as you get closer to cities, finding a house big enough to contain us is difficult, and that difficulty is compounded by needing a decent internet connection for 14 gamers. Thus, the long search became more about finding a large enough house with a decent connection, which has brought us to the Adirondacks, NY. While we normally like to give you guys a choice of cities, all options have been exhausted save for 1 group of houses in upper NY. Here’s where we need your help. Our preferred location is a 10 bedroom house, but it is only available Aug 21-27. To afford this house with an estimated 14 people would mean the cost would be about $425. They have a second property, however. A 7 BR house which is available Aug 14-20 and Aug 21-27. This house will cost each person $385. Both have decent internet but not a lot around beyond your typical ski-resort-in-summer activities such as hiking and maybe rafting.

Please check out the each house below and let us know what you think on the Facebook group

The LAN’s awake now

Thanks to everyone who came out to the LAN yesterday and made it a big success! I think we had almost 25 people coming and going at some point. We’ll try to get back to a 2-3 month schedule from here!
