Arena Shooters. Any Halo, Unreal Tournament, Quake. I don't even care about it being a prize tournament. I'd just like a lan party.

Just so that we're playing the game. I don't want to hear about how you think video games are too sexist/not sexist enough. I just want to shoot a flak cannon into someone's face.

Before we play, we’re doing a round table on how Unreal Tournament encourages Unrealistic body expectations and discourages those who aren’t Stronger, Faster, Better.

Voluntary attendance at the round table is mandatory. But it’s a good thing because we’re making the world a better place.

At a lan party? It's definitely the other group that's the problem. Hearing the same handful of sexist jokes ever time a woman shows up and they wonder why they never stick around. This is what I actually saw, not a hypothetical.

It's been actual decades since I've played Halo: CE multiplayer

It's playable on MCC, but the LAN Party experience is what I miss. Games, Pizza, Energy Drinks into the night. Use to do them monthly though high school. There were also pc lan parties with UT2k4 mainly and eQuake occasionally.
