LAN PARTY.


Okay, so hopefully everyone read Matt's masterpiece letter to Asher Roth. If you didn't, go back a few posts to March 3, 2009. A handful of students from Temple University and their friends created a spoof video on Asher's hit song "I Love College." Genius director and lyricist John Note and his chosen LAN party gamer-cast spent hours filming the video. I had the privilege to hang around and watch them, and let me tell you, if this song comes on the radio I am guaranteed a good laugh. Check out the video on YouTube at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vHVMuRM2Kx8.

Oh, and in case you don't know what a LAN party is... Wikipedia cooked up a nice definition for you.
"A LAN party is a temporary, sometimes spontaneous, gathering of people together with their computers, which they network together primarily for the purpose of playing multiplayer computer games. These local area networks (LANs) come in various sizes, from very small (two people) to very large (more than 10,000 people). Small parties can form spontaneously, but large ones usually require a fair amount of planning and preparation on the part of the organizer."
