    Do laptops even come with lan ports anymore?

      Most gaming laptops do. But we will be Wi-Fi ready for those without ethernet ports.

    • BrokeCamel on 16/02/2024 - 08:14

      USB to ethernet adapters work well

    • Bdawg on 16/02/2024 - 10:10

      My gaming laptop does, it's got a neat little fold down clip.

    • Gnostikos on 16/02/2024 - 14:10

      Yes, plenty of gaming and business/enterprise laptops still do because Ethernet will always outperform WiFi, even in 2024, especially in home user contexts and especially if utilising 2.5GbE/5GbE/10GbE Ethernet connectivity.

      Obviously 13-14" Ultrabooks will usually forego including Ethernet ports in the pursuit of a thin chassis but there's even 13" laptops with Ethernet sockets like the Fujitsu Lifebook series.

    Wish Sydney had big LAN Parties!

    • Sconnery87 on 15/02/2024 - 22:10

      Me too ! Discord isnt the same

    • AssociatedJabob @ THE BIG LAN on 16/02/2024 - 10:32

      If someone can fund us transporting all the gear and team up there, we'll do it!

        You can probably charge abit more for tickets to see if Sydney has the market for it. I'd happy spend $40-50

    Pleasantly surprised to see Jazz Jackrabbit amongst the line-up.

      For me it was setting up people with the WinXP Royale Noir and Zune themes. Plus a good collection of wallpapers and system icons.

      Good memories.

          Ive been on the internet since 2002, i feel like they were called image macros.

    I fondly remember hours spend in Warcraft III doing FF and TD maps.

      Dota

      I remember there was some battleship map and end game you get the Black Pearl which was quite fun

        "naval combat" was awesome
        https://www.epicwar.com/maps/212967/

        it's a bit buggy at times and you really need even teams of real people

        there's a couple of others that are a bit different
        https://www.epicwar.com/maps/919/ - battle ships 5
        and battleships crossfire:
        https://www.hiveworkshop.com/threads/battleships-crossfire-4…

        best part about warcraft 3 is it runs on basically anything, like 10 year old i5 work laptops that were supposed to be sent to the electronics recyclers…..

        • Homr on 15/02/2024 - 23:18

          Will we ever see Warcraft 4?

          • lesher on 16/02/2024 - 04:09

            @Homr: Never. Though then again now that microsoft owns activision blizzard, who knows I guess

          • Munki on 16/02/2024 - 10:00

            @Homr: I'm refusing to buy/play any other Blizzard game until WC4 happens.

        Soooo many hours spent on dota. There were so many other custom games too. :(

    I lived and dined on unreal tournament and WC3! Plus Dune 2000, sim city, ultra bots, red alert… syndicate… and Duke Nukem 3D!

    Wished I didn’t have kids BBall tomorrow or I would’ve come! Enjoy this nostalgic event!

        • AssociatedJabob @ THE BIG LAN on 16/02/2024 - 10:32

          You sure can! There will also be some board games and stuff to enjoy if you don't bring a PC.

    Dear Op, Glen Waverley is spelt with an e before the y. I noticed you made the same spelling mistake twice in your post.
