Atlanta's PC-gaming LAN group just turned a year old. thanks everyone for your support.

We're at it again.

What games we play?

We get this question a lot. The answer is: a lot of things.

The "regular" games: Team Fortress 2, Supreme Commander, UT2004-Carball, Artemis

The "irregulars": Starcraft(II), Half-Life 2 Deathmatch, , Rise of Nations, etc.



Thanks to the success of last month's "WAN Party" (odd comm glitches notwithstanding), we'll once again be teaming up with some palds in FL and CA on the day of the event.

Expect more Starcraft 2. Borderlands, and whatever we come up with :-)
