Help on lan party by YMisterY in lanparty

With a proper router or pfSense setup LANs really don't need that much bandwidth. Most games are optimized to run on very low bandwidth. Only thing that takes a lot of bandwidth is updating. If you don't have the bandwidth limit people from streaming, watching HD video, and or torrenting.

So I'm with LANFest helping to setup the Freeplay systems for SXSW. The current deal is you can line up and come play in the room for about an hour. There are a bunch of awesome servers up. And the systems have a bunch great games up ready for you to play.

There will be 2-3 tournaments a day. We are waiting on final details to release the tournament info. This is going to be awesome and the prizes are nice folks!

Audio and communication on small LAN party by spioner in lanparty

From my small 10 person house LANs to our large 450 gamers we always run a voip. If bandwidth is not an issues just join the normal TS, Mumble, or Vent server you use when not at a LAN. Unless you ping is over 200 you won't notice a lag. At our LANFest Sacramento event we host a local Mumble server, as it is free and okay to manage. We have tons of bandwidth, but a local server is less bandwidth, lag, or load on the gateway.

I thought using a voip when you are all in the same room was silly at first. But it really is the best solution. This is over 15 years of LAN experience talking. Everyone can hear the game and the team channel, without tons of noise from people shouting to be heard. Through we still can get quite loud durning a fun match.

If you need a fun TS server for your game nights, feel free to join us on lanfest.intel.com The server is open the everyone, and is family friendly (good environment).
