Bad pun is bad. But LAN #16 wont be! This LAN will be held on Saturday, August 14. Noon start-up, though doors open at 11.30AM. Event wraps up at 1AM, so a full 13 hours of gaming & leeching.

Event will once again be @ The Hobart Showgrounds, with entry via the MAIN GATE in Howard Rd. Click here for a map specifying adjacent parking and event location. For those in the know we will be in the Administration Building, in the Patrons Room.

Console gamers will be provided space as part of the ongoing console fight game tournaments. This continues to be a crowd drawer so please come along & pick up a controller.

We will be operating a DC++ HUB. This will be the only method of leeching available. We’ll be using YnHub and we STRONGLY encourage the use of DC++ 0.762 or ApexDC++ 1.3.3. Please pre-hash your files.

Screening room will be active once again as will consoles. Weather forecast is for horrible wet stuff, so come inside and stay warm

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!

General Info:

After the awsomeness of LAN #12 we’ve decided that LAW131 can no longer contain our humble event. We thought long and hard and eventually we came to the conclusion that we simply must move to a larger venue! So I’m proud to announce we’re moving to the Hobart Showgrounds for our 3rd of July LAN.

General Info:

Sorry for the late promo. LAN #12 has now been confirmed for 19th of June! We will be running parallel to the Hobart Zombie March, so feel free to show up a little bit later and covered in blood!

Tthe LAN will be a 13 hour event, beginning Saturday June 19th at Noon, stretching on until 1AM the following day. No Internet connection will be available, so if your using Steam please switch it to offline mode.

We will once again be following a timetable, however consider it a guide rather than an absolute. We are taking into account failings at the previous LAN to make sure that doesn’t happen again.

Dedicated server/File server will be running once again so  if you’d like something to be running on the server, please email with a request. Hopefully wireless will be active this time around, which should prove useful for laptop based users.

The new event timetable is the following. Whilst the list is published, things may fall slightly askew. Read the rest of this entry »
