The festivities kick off at 12:01 am GMT on Friday.  Here’s word:

Beginning Friday at 12:01 am GMT, the PC version of Left 4 Dead will be available for a free 24-hour trial via Steam. The free trial will include access to the recently released Survival Pack DLC, which introduces a new multiplayer game mode and two additional Versus campaigns. Those who wish to give L4D and the Survival Pack a try may now pre-load everything needed to play with no obligation to purchase.

So anyone that has not played it can come join us this weekend.

The question is should the full LAN parties come back?

  • New Location
  • Upgraded Equipment: New Dedicated Servers, New Fast Network, Internet
  • Themed LANs such as a Retro LAN bringing back some of the classics. Quake, Unreal Tournament (Orginal), TFC you get where I am going.
  • Probably some swag
  • We will be doing pictures and video for each LAN

The biggest problem we have run into is a new location.  I have looked a several different locations and they all either didn’t sufficient power, space, or location was just bad.  We are open to suggestions on location.

For now however we will continue with the Left 4 Dead gaming nights.  Ventrilo and gameserver information is available in the randomlan members section.

As always tell us what you think.
