Welcome to LAN Of The Damned
We hope you enjoy your visit here. Please join or login if you have joined before. LAN Of The Damned run regular not-for-profit events located in Warrnambool, Victoria, Australia. These events focus on multiplayer computer & Xbox gaming over a LAN (Local Area Network), and are held twice a year. Each event includes several tournaments with prizes, cheap pizza orders for gaming stamina, McDonald's for breakfast, and of course plenty of action in the latest games as well as some old favourites. If you're new to the gaming LAN scene or don't know what to expect, take a look at our newbie guide for a run down on LAN preparation, or jump into our forums and talk to some of the LANing veterans there. Of course we also have photos from all our past events to amuse and inform. |

LAN Of The Damned XXV - The Aftermath
The LAN went very well, especially considering how low the rego numbers were. Showing the AFL Grand Final on the massive projector screen was a big success and we had heaps of people throw their name in for the comp to predict the results. The winner was Mitch with his prediction of Geelong by 32 points. Molex's arcade setup got quite a lot of attention, particularly from DarkOmen who was reliving his glory days in a variety of fighting games and some strangely violent basketball.
Congratulations to RagnarokSC for winning both the Trackmania Nations Forever tournament and the Starcraft 2 tournament. I did my best to hold him off, constantly flying Command Centers around the map in finest Terran tradition, but his swarm of Stalkers overran me in the end. He also won a Random Gamer prize. Congratulations also to Mr Tall for winning the short but bloody Call Of Duty Black Ops tournament on the Xboxes. I've never seen a winner so stoked with his prize 
We finished off the event with a few games of good old Regicide
We'd like to thank Super Billing for their support once more. We'd also like to thank Aussie Broadband for providing an internet connection, without which a modern gaming LAN really isn't possible.
Our thanks also go to Pinky's Pizza and McDonalds for supplying us with discounted food.
