And i know most of us are bringing our own TVs and Systems to this LAN btw.

I’ll believe it when I see it. Maybe most of the 15 of you at the meeting are but the 50-70 others aren’t.

But honestly is there such thing as a casual gamer? i dont know one single person who doesnt take the game they play seriously.

When it comes to consoles, there are many more casual gamers than hardcore. I am a casual console gamer. How serious I am about winning has nothing to do with how often I play console games or how good I am at them. Casual means you don’t play often, hardcore means you play all the time, skill level isn’t necessarily based on gameplay time. I won the Day of Defeat Source tournament twice in a row having never played in an open server before the first win and only twice before the second, this makes me a casual gamer at that particular game.

The games that are in the LAN right now are all the main games that are played on campus. dont get my wrong i would LOVE to see mario kart in the LAN i love it but even though im not going to be in the SC4 or GH3 tounrey i know more people would want to be.

How long have you been on campus? Being a senior I can tell you the majority of people on campus play Halo3, Mario Kart, and Smash Brothers. Maybe guitar hero is fun by yourself but it’s a major turnoff when you watch someone play on expert at the LAN when you can barely manage hard. You know you’ve lost before you even play and that’s not the sort of game we need.
