I’m going to be attending i40, the UK’s biggest LAN Party event, along with Facepunch. If you’re going too, come and say hello – I’ll update this post with my seat when I know where we’ll be sat.

For those of you dumb enough not to know what a LAN party is:

A LAN party is a temporary, sometimes spontaneous, gathering of people with computers, between which they establish a local area network (LAN), primarily for the purpose of playing multiplayer computer games. The size of these networks may vary from the very small (two people) to very large installations. Small parties can form spontaneously, but large ones usually require a fair amount of planning and preparation.

Oh, by the way, I wasn’t kidding about the little something special this month.

Stay tuned.

To make life far simpler, ratings have been changed to Thumbs-Up + Thumbs-Down, ala Youtube. Have fun.

Have at some System Specifications

If anyone else even dares look at their keyboard in a way that entails “luaduck, what are your specs?” again, I will personally sue them.

Proof that game developers don’t read my blog

Via kotaku:

Capping off a fairly terrible fortnight of news surrounding Call of Duty developers Infinity Ward comes word this morning that Modern Warfare 2′s map pack is one of the most over-priced pieces of downloadable content we’ve ever seen.

Popping onto Xbox Live spokesman Larry Hryb’s podcast to promote Modern Warfare 2′s upcoming "Stimulus Package" map pack (which is launching first on Microsoft’s console), Infinity Ward’s Robert bowling revealed that the five maps – two of which are old maps being re-released for this game – will cost 1200 Microsoft Points.

Or, $15.

For five multiplayer maps.

Fifteen. Dollars. Or, if you’re so inclined, £10, €14, or AUD$19.

Hoo boy.

Ughh.

If you were wondering, no I’m not going to be buying this. The reasons should be as clear as glass.
