Our winter WAN party will take place this Saturday February 3 starting at 5:30 PM Eastern. We will use the Lobby channel on Discord as a supplement to any built-in voice communication for games to coordinate, communicate, and have a good time. All members and friends are welcome to join in. Members can invite friends and family from Discord to join our server (or use the Discord server invite link from Member links at the top menu of the forums). We will also use STEAM friends to coordinate. You can find more about installing Discord and connecting to our server here:

Here is the list of games to be played:

5:30-7:00 PM -> Left 4 Dead 2 (survival)
7:00-8:15 PM -> Counter-strike: Global Offensive
8:15-9:30 PM -> Battlefield Vietnam (FREE, see our forums)
9:30-10:30 PM -> Chivalry Medieval Warfare
10:30-11:30 PM -> Day of Defeat Source

We will be hosting our Spring WAN party on Saturday April 18 starting at 5:30. For anyone confused, these are basically extended community nights (hence, Wide Area Network versus LAN) that we do every 3 months (once a season) on a Saturday night where we play multiple games, usually ones that we don't play very often on community nights and/or are cheap or free so that the most people can be involved.

We will use Mumble to communicate. The rough schedule of games and times is listed below. Things are flexible depending on how much fun we are having with a game. All times are Eastern.

5:30-7:00 PM -> L4D2 ($20)
7:00-8:30 PM -> CS:GO ($15)
8:30-10:30 PM -> BF1942 (FREE!)
10:30-11:30 PM -> DoD:S ($10)
11:30 PM-12:30 AM -> TF2/MvM (FREE!)

Since a year is too long to go between our summer LAN parties, we are trying to start a new tradition this year to give us something in between that is more substantial than our community nights. Given that it is the winter when people tend to not want to travel or to even go outside but would rather stay in their own comfy homes, we are having a WAN party instead. The festivities will start at 6 PM Eastern this coming Saturday night January 18th and will last until into the early morning as long as enough people are awake to play. The games to be played will be games that are either free to download or cheap. This includes PVKII, BF1942, DoD:S, and MvM. You can find a lot more information about it here:
