Arena Shooters. Any Halo, Unreal Tournament, Quake. I don’t even care about it being a prize tournament. I’d just like a lan party.
Just so that we’re playing the game. I don’t want to hear about how you think video games are too sexist/not sexist enough. I just want to shoot a flak cannon into someone’s face.
It’s been actual decades since I’ve played Halo: CE multiplayer
It’s playable on MCC, but the LAN Party experience is what I miss. Games, Pizza, Energy Drinks into the night. Use to do them monthly though high school. There were also pc lan parties with UT2k4 mainly and eQuake occasionally.
Before we play, we’re doing a round table on how Unreal Tournament encourages Unrealistic body expectations and discourages those who aren’t Stronger, Faster, Better.
Voluntary attendance at the round table is mandatory. But it’s a good thing because we’re making the world a better place.
At a lan party? It’s definitely the other group that’s the problem. Hearing the same handful of sexist jokes ever time a woman shows up and they wonder why they never stick around. This is what I actually saw, not a hypothetical.

Overcooked 2 tournament. It has a 2v2 mode. I want to see blood
GoldenEye. 1997 version, of course. License to Kill, pistols only.
Although, I might be able to hold my own in a 30+ tournament of newer games. Those kids are just too fast for me to keep up.
1997 version, of course.
Obviously! Why even specify? This should just go unsaid. Only a psychopath would invite you to play Goldeneye, and then pull out the Wii. Like you would think weird if you showed up to a friends house, and he was like “Hey, thanks for showing up! I got beer in the fridge. My wife isn’t tied up naked in the bedroom. We’ll throw the burgers on the grill at sunset.”
I mean. Why would your friend say something so odd? OBVIOUSLY you wait until sunset to throw those burgers on the grill! That’s prime grilling hours! Everybody knows that!
I didn’t even notice the sunset thing, I was hung up on why he mentioned beer in the fridge. Why wouldn’t there be? Did he get shitty beer? Very suspicious.
Slappers only, no oddjob
Me? None. I just play for fun, I’d lose bad.
If there was going to be a game I’d show up for it’d be Forza Horizon, I’ve got the most hours in that and kinda do ok when I occasionally play online against randoms. Haven’t been playing much recently though, so the former statement probably still applies.
Guitar Hero/Rockband!
uniracers
UT99!
Or Quake! Even though I suck at arena shooters, any of them I’d want to hop in for.
Thank you for saying it! Absolutel best lan game around.
Geoguesser
Super smash bros
Mario kart
Tetris
Minecraft Bedwars or CS1.6.
MC Anarchy PvP or HvH in CS:GO.
Dance Dance Revolution and Left 4 Dead 2.
I already attend local tournaments for Skullgirls, Street Fighter 6, and Guilty Gear Strive. If you’re looking to improve in fighting games, you’ll never get better faster than by going to locals.
Pacman
Okay, I’m old, sue me.
But that game was my thing back in the eighties. And I wad good at it. Maybe not national best tier, and definitely not world tier, but it was not unusual for me to keep high scores on it that never got beat. The one actual arcade in town, I was never bumped off at all, nobody in town came close. I can’t recall the gap but it was enough higher that there was an extra digit between me and the next highest.
The arcade over in the nearest city, the gap was nowhere near as big, but it was there.
Even when I visited my cousin in Charlotte one summer, I took top spot on the machine there, though it did get beat later on. But I never went below third, at least at the time my cousin stopped going there.
There wasn’t much I was good at that was showy back then. I wrecked shit in spelling bees, and was a decent beatbox (though only decent). Nobody gave a shit about those. I’d play pacman and have a crowd watching. It was fucking awesome for my confidence at the time.
Wasn’t too bad at centipede either, but I would hover up and down in top ten at the two arcades I could visit regular, which isn’t that impressive if you know the game.
So, yeah, I’d go and watch pacman players if the event was close enough. I’d even try my hand at it if I didn’t have to go up against kids with their rassafrassin better reflexes lol.
Ms. Pac-Man is the definitive version though.
