BobLAN 2023.2

Another superb BobLAN comes to an end and sadly, we must all return to normal life :( We didn't play any new games this time (unless you count CS2) but we did maximise our gaming time quite well. We had some good, close CS2 matches between the two rooms - not quite the same without stats but still fun. Hopefully by the next LAN they will have sorted things like Arms Race, Demolition and the plugins that we need to make it our own.

We revisited Team Fortress 2 and PUBG this LAN, and both went down well. That said, PUBG looks really clunky after playing things like MW2 this past year. Battlefield 1 and 2042 worked very well - we didn't play these enough in my opinion.

As for driving, it was the usual Wreckfest and GRID - both firm favourites for drivers and non-drivers alike.

Food was top-notch as ever, as was the company and banter. A massive thank you to Bob and Lynda for hosting us all once again - truly appreciated by all.

Counting down to the next BobLAN in May 2024...

We're well into day 2 of BobLAN 2023.2 and plenty of different games have been played. A mix of FPS with Call of Duty, CS2 and Battlefield 1 plus driving with Wreckfest. Further updated to follow...

It's BobLAN week - usual advice applies: before you pack up and set off...

Check for Windows updates, fire up all your game managers (Steam, EA Play, Epic, Ubisoft etc) and allow all games to update, and check Discord for the latest games list.

And yes, it's ok to be a little bit excited :)

It's only 4 weeks until the official start of BobLAN 2023.2, and Bob's food preparation is already underway! Game chat will be in Discord as usual - the big question is the state of the CS2 serves. Will we have an official dedicated server, or will someone be running their client as a server?

No doubt there will be plenty of Warzone 2, Battlefield of varying flavours and Wreckfest/Grid Autosport/Assetto Corsa. Maybe not so much PUBG tho this time, given that Warzone 2 is free and tbh just better.

More updates to follow when the LAN gets closer!

As discussed back at the last LAN, the dates for the November 2023 BobLAN have been confirmed. The event will run from Thursday 9th November through until the Sunday, although no doubt there will be a Wednesday kit-drop and setup evening again.

As the event draws near, the usual BobLAN page will appear.
