Linux Users Party
The Washington State University Linux Users Group recently hosted a 24 hour LAN party where more than 75 students and faculty members pitted their level 52 Druids and level 48 Paladins against each other.
Junior computer science major Eric Ball, president of the club, said that the event draws those with a mutual interest in gaming together. Participants began arriving to the even t on campus at 6pm on a Friday with towers, monitors, TV and console games in tow. Pizza and Monster Energy drinks were enjoyed by all, and then the computers were connected and the party really began. There were three tournaments that took place during the course of the 24 hour party: Worms Armageddon, Counter-Strike: Source, and Starcraft II. Each tournament had a unique prize, including an Israeli gas mask that went to one lucky winner.
