So much gaming goodness ready to load into the van the night before.

FRAGtopia servers, Marauder's oh so shiney case on the left.

Cableguy, one of the organizers and all around nice guy.

One of the many cable runs that was done.

Cable apparently knows this guy. He is my new LAN hero. Just.. Relaxed.

This screenshot and the others like it were reason enough to go. Emplate really pissed me off a few years ago with a smart comment about how it only takes "a few hours" to set up a big LAN.

Warning Will Robinson! Danger, danger! These notices were posted everywhere, and ignored by gamers who obviously couldn't read.

And the snack table just outside the ballroom.

The big screens, as well as a gamer with a good idea. A battlelamp!

This guy's case light was litterally blindingly bright yellow.

The sign reads "Those Friggin' Computers Inc" Love it, just love it.

Yeah, I was using a flash, it was just really, really dark.

Head 2 Head games was a sponsor of SD3.

"He's dead Jim."

"Quick! You get his machine, I've got his monitor!"

Did you try smashing it really good?

The road to London is long and annoyingly devoid of anything interesting to throw things at.

Pretty swank rooms for those who stayed at the hotel.

The hilton, with the FRAGtopia mobile parked in front. (Grey Van)

Yeah, that's a big building.

Even at a place like the Hilton, you get idiots who can't park.

Kuku, 2nd place in Quake 3 1-on-1 isn't any more photogenic than Rune.

London from the hotel room.

Pappy's Nostromo gaming control alien sex toy thingy.

Group shot.

Shesh, look what we found at the train station.

Power is life at a LAN, and life is a number of these towers'o'power.

Now THAT's what I call a router!

Poor Rune lies buried in the back of the van.

Rune simply does not photograph well. He always looks stoned, or like a serial killer.

I love this bag of Rune's. I think that "Get down a business for win" would be a sweet clan saying.

Pappy gets the hell out of dodge.

Rune! Guard equipment. Stay!..... Staaaayyyyy... Good boy.

Par-tay game servers.

Setup is well underway.

Socrates (1-on-1 winner) with his new goodies.

WAG staffers congregate to share recipies and life lessons.

And the party starts!

More people!
