• Mes - CS killing room
• Thembot PUBG parachute death
• Pup's 0.002 second win against Dan in Grid

Great gaming...

• Loving the PUBG, a fantastic concept - let's hope they tidy up some of the rough edges. Great tactics by Thembot. But need microphones, even in same room - so you can hear footsteps and team chatter.
• Battlefront II a bit of a mixed bag. Some great potential - but you're essentially just running in for kills until you get able to play as a special (AT-AT, BobbaFett, A-Wing, etc) which is where the real fun seems to be. And not good for groups - no one likes spending 15 minutes in a queue
• CS - standard. A couple of tweaks for next time - would nice to be able to play dust 1. Would like grenades included (or the ability to do so) in gun game
• Grid - standard. Very inclusive.
• Rock Band - standard
• Rocket league - standard. Always enjoy. Could probably have played more of it
• Doom - great fun for a blast
• battleborn - doesn't even boot. Couldn't get working. Shame - might have been fun (and free)
• Overwatch - still a bit too expensive for wide spread play - maybe one to try next time as a TF2 style game
• Fuzz ball - had a game with Shane. Seems to get neglected these days
• Battlefield 1 - enjoyed, but we didn't seem to play much?

Other bits...

• Graphics - anything in the 10x0 range of cards will rock any game at the moment
• Hardware - ASUS ROG 27 monitor continues to be the monitor of the Lanners... 1440p is a great Res without impacting frame rate too much
• Network - killed a few times by big install copies - let's try and get the game list circulated and agree a little sooner next time
• People - would be completely remiss not to say that the real highlight of every LAN is the people... awesome to see you all

And finally, how could we forget Rockband Bohemian Rhapsody - view the evidence on youtube

The Autumn 2017 BobLAN is well underway. Games played so far include CS:GO, PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds, Battlefield 1 and GRiD Autosport. We're averaging 6-a-side, which is great fun. More updates to follow...

It's BobLAN 2017.2 eve, so make sure you have all updated your PCs and all games that we are likely to play. Don't forget to start all the game managers - Steam, Origin, Uplay, Bethesda.net etc, and let them do all their heavy lifting before you set off.

As always, the LAN schedule and webcam will be available on our dedicated BobLAN page. We tested the webcam yesterday, and these was around 7 seconds of delay, so not too bad. The camera will be enabled for general viewing tomorrow.

The dates for the second BobLAN of 2017 have been announced. The LAN will take place from Thursday 16th until Sunday 19th November. The LAN Party page and Forums Topic are up and available - what do we fancy playing this time?!
