Blog Fortress #4: Feelings after lan

November 8th, 2010

So as propably everyone knows we were attending Insomnia LAN at Pori last weekend. It was first proper LAN event I have ever attended to so I was pretty excited about it. I travelled with mafu from Power Gaming as he also lives in Vaasa. He really is a nice guy and we had pretty nice trip to Pori and back, thanks for the ride mafu!

So, lets talk a bit about the LAN itself and the games we had. Well, there ain’t really that much to say. Fast games and internet problems sum the whole event up pretty good. Only proper game we had was against Refuse and that also was a bit fucked up because of the internet problems Insomnia was having. Despite all the problems I felt like the match against Refuse was one of the best games I have ever played because the feeling I had during playing was completely different comparing to online games. So thanks to Refuse for one of the best matches of my life!
