Academy Gamers LAN July 06

Much fun was had by all at the latest Academy Gamers LAN. We had around 50 people show up and we played lots of different games such as Jedi Academy, Wings of War, Unreal Tournament 2k4, Battlefield 2, Call of Duty 1 and 2, along with some other games. Most of my time was spent on UT 2K4. Funny thing is, I never play the game online. I only play it at the LAN. Always a ton of fun to be had in a good game of CTF. In Wings of War, we had about 15 people playing CTF and Windsock (you try to shoot down the guy carrying the windsock behind his plane). Funny to watch 14 guys all chasing and shooting 1 other guy. He doesn't usually last too long with that windsock. In UT 2k4 we usually play the mutated version with the laser rifles that can shoot instantly across the entire map to snipe people in their base before they have a chance to break free and try to get your flag.
There was also a barbecue with burgers and brats. There was also ice cream, plenty of chips and dip, and plenty of drinks to go around. Academy Gamers has several sponsors that offer items to give away as game and door prizes. We usually hold tournaments for several games such as Counterstrike 2v2 games. If you are an avid PC gamer in Colorado Springs, you should definitely check out their website. If you plan to come, expect to be there awhile. Gaming starts at 9am and ends around 10pm. Time flies by when you're having a good time. That's for sure.
