I barely put in 5% effort at school.  110% for LAN parties.  We had a pretty sweet setup. And i always had some sweet new overclock settings to try out.

Man, I'd probably have flunked out of school if I'd had that many LAN party opportunities.

The Rise And Fall Of The LAN Party

Oh man.  I miss the LAN party.  It was a huge event.  One time we had about 12 of us in a friends garage.  We were so excited because he had a new 100mbs switch.  We stayed up all night, drinking coke and eating pizza.  Guys were passed out in their chairs at 4am while a couple others were still getting down on some Midtown Madness.  There was a period where I lived with a good friend and we basically had a little LAN party going everyday after school.  Good times.
