LAN Parties?

Thursday, October 11th, 2007

It’s been a while hasn’t it?

Reading back the review I wrote about OCC22, it’s feels strange. It’s not quite how I feel about LAN parties today. Fu-LAN6 might have been great for the attendees, it sure wasn’t great for me, and FoM was a major dissapointment as well. Thinking back at OCC: you shouldn’t spend your time watching DVDs at a LAN party, you should spend your time playing multiplayer games, something you can’t do (as well) at home. But at the LAN party, you realise that you don’t have the same games as the people in your clan, and you end up being stuck with the games installed on your computer. Playing it alone, because no one else has it.

So I end up getting bored, watching television series on the DVDs I brought from home. But honestly: I can watch them much more comfortly at home. Last FoM I spend 4 hours drawing our clan’s logo in 3D, in a race between Blender and 3DsMax. Ofcourse, I lost, I’ve never done anything like that before, but because I has nothing better to do, I kept on going untill it was completed.

Maybe I’m not “pro” enough, maybe I’m getting too old for this, or maybe I just need a break from it all. Anyway, I have decided not to go to the next FoM and OCC events, so you won’t be getting any reviews on those.

Happy New Year!

Night of the Proms 2006

Saturday, October 28th, 2006

Night of the Proms 2006, in stead of turning into another display of the effect of classical music on male emotions, this edition of the Night of the Proms was by far the best one I have ever expierenced.

Yeah: the singers were great, the music was great, but this is not why it felt so special this time, the singers are always great, the music is always perfect, no this time it was something more. And I’m pretty sure that feeling is related to those girls having a great party just next to us. ;-)

Lief and co: I hope to meet you all again very soon!
