i51 Ricoh

I don't live too far from the Ricoh - surprised I didn't hear about this.

The last LAN in Coventry that I remember was at a sports centre (AT7) about 12 years ago lol.

£97 sounds a bit steep though!

What kind of games do TFU play Thegoon?

it's a bit expensive yea, but worth it as I look as it as a "holiday with the lads" haha!

TFU are playing mostly BF4 and DayZ (SA/Epoch) currently, but there are many other games which members play either solo or a few grouped up, to list some: war thunder, minecraft(and the sort), Smite, CS:GO/CS:S (playing hide n seek/prop hunt is amazing!!!), arma2/3 various modes. quite a variety really....most importantly being the game of getting drunk where nearly everyone is a winner :D

I'm coming with my clan. My first LAN :P

BYOC (CS:GO Area) / EAS / Camping.

Question for those more experienced than me; I own this case:

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-007-BX

Can anyone foresee the being a problem? It's not so much the transport i'm worried about, (I'll be driving myself up), more worried about the space per person/desk size etc.

You'll see cases a lot bigger than that there I am sure. I wouldn't worry :)

agreed! :D seen some right monster cases! if it's too big to git under a desk then try to either sit on the very end of the row, or show up a bit earlier and just make a gap by your table to slot the pc between :) (much easier to do when everyone else hasn't got their pcs all set up as moving desks is hazardous!!! )
 
Been a while since I last went to one and trying to persuade a mate to go but he is unsure as it would just be us two :( A lot of the time you have headphones on anyway! The stars have aligned for me as well, I have the time off and can actually make it there, there is a break in my study planner to. Finding the time to play that many games is getting harder this is perfect opportunity.
 
I was looking at going but a few problems.

1. Not sure how amicable TFU would be towards me in the hall.

2. The only hotel I could find was a 2-3 star with a fixed shower head, being 6ft 8 this is a problem.

3. My PC weighs an absolute ton, even if I took my pr0n HDD's out it still weighs way too much, and building a PC into a small light rig is just stupid considering I would only use it for one weekend.
 
Who cares what tfu thinks.
you can shower there and camp there.
Also mine is heavy and I am still recovering from my spinal fracture yet I'm still guna carry it lol.

Reading this has really brought back a lot of memories of going to one of the I events in Newbury over 10 years ago, It really has come on a long way since i went when it was just a room full of PCs and that was pretty much it!

Might if my friends are interested, could be a good laugh, will not be camping this time around though!

Too many rules and regs now, they were the days when LANs were the best as most had slow net speeds. You could sleep at your pc and play cs 1.6, DOD and tfc with a nice low ping

On the basis that the vast majority of current TFU members have no idea who you are, I don't see why it would be a problem. You seem convinced that the clan as a whole (1) knows who you are (2) gives a damn about anything that happened before current members joined.

Life moves on, you should too.

And on topic, I am very excited! Driving down from Manchester in my LAN Van... Can't wait!

What row you on?
 
multiplay has it's own security back so that should be good they were excellent in newbury incomparison to the goons in telford.

Can't come this one but will attend in the summer hope you all have fun.
 
I would still take your keyboard, mouse, headphones back with you. Most people do this and leave the base unit and monitor which will be fine. Don't think there's been too many thefts in previous events, but does happen so just take the extra security. Plus if you want a little more then purchase a kensington lock and lock your base and monitor down, which again for £20 is a bit more piece of mind.

All in all though have a good time and will be a great event. Unfortunately can't make this one myself as I'm competing in UKBFF (body building compo :p) but shall see any of you at the summer event if there :)
