LAN Time! 2 in conjunction with LANSE
Sponsored by Thrustmaster and Hercules
Friday April 25th 7.30pm to Sunday April 27th 4pm
High Wycombe, Bucks (J4 – M40, off Junction 16 of the M25)
Following on from the success of our last event back in October, its time to dust-off the games servers, patch the games and get ready for a long weekend of frantic gaming, prize winning and kicking-back over a pizza and a few beers with your fellow gamers face-to-face!
We are also very excited to announce that games controller maker Thrustmaster and graphics card maker Hercules have stepped up as sponsors of the event, and are putting up a stack of top prizes for the winners of our tournaments and for our door prize.
LAN Time! has teamed up with LANSE to stage its next event, at our regular venue in High Wycombe in Bucks.
It's going to be a manic couple of days, with lots of prizes on offer, super fast servers and network, some great gaming and most importantly, a great deal of fun for everyone.

Battlefield 1942: 4v4 Knockout (Team-Based)

IRC Server: There will be a dedicated local IRC server running for players to use for chatting and as a staging area to organise games.
Half Life TV: Counter Strike games will be aired across the network using Half Life TV, as well as up on the big projector screen for everyone to watch.
