AI-Con Lans

Archive for July, 2010

General Info:

Because most of us have played StarCraft religiously in some part of our life, we’re decided to co-opt the ‘Spawn more overlord.depot.pylons’ joke for this, our 15th LAN which is around about the release date for SC2.

However on with the actual important information!  This LAN will be held on Saturday, July 31. Noon start-up, though doors open at 11.30AM. Event wraps up at 1AM, so a full 13 hours of madness.

Even bigger news though! With the recent vote to merge the TUU Anime Society into the TUU Digivisipop Society (who fund and control AI-CON LAN’s), its been decided that future screenings will be held at the LAN venue! See further below for a screening schedule. We will be screening all new current material, most of which is released in high def. Don’t hesitate to email me if you want to see something added. Nothing is too obscure!

LAN #14 - Early evening

Sorry for the late write up – its been a trying week.

After the success of LAN #13, we were unsure if #14 could meet up to such high expectations. Sadly enough we were running week on from a TUCS lan & head to head with the WarHammer convention in the CBD. This cut our numbers significantly, down to about 14 boxes, with about 20 attendees in total. Read the rest of this entry »

General Info:

Another fortnight, another LAN! After LAN #13, we’re convinced that the Hobart Showgrounds are the place to be, so our next event is going to be there too. Our next event will be held on Saturday, 17th of July.

13 hour event as per usual, Noon start-up, though doors open at 11.30AM. Event wraps up at 1AM.

No Internet will be available, so Steam users please switch it to offline mode. We encourage attendees to place their box on the table, however we will try and accommodate those who choose not to. We also remind people to bring a surge protecting device as the LAN cannot provide that equipment.

LAN 13 - Midway

LAN #13 was a big concern for us as were debuting a new venue and we were running end on from Dark-Media. However those concerns were misplaced as we had our biggest LAN yet, with 25 boxes on-site and just a touch over 30 attendees between the consoles and tabletop gamers.

Massive props to everyone who stood up and helped run the different events, it made things alot smoother in general and it was great to see the community help each other. Read the rest of this entry »
