BobLAN 2015.1

What a great weekend, and quite a changing of the guard when it comes to the games we play. This time, we played very little CS:GO or L4D2. Instead, the bulk of the gaming time went to newcomers Titanfall and GRID Autosport. Titanfall was particularly impressive because most of us paid nothing for it - we took advantage of Origin's Game Time offer, where you could play the game free of charge for 48 hours - perfect for a BobLAN!

Unfortunately, Game Time proved less successful for Battlefield 4, so we stuck to BF3 which we played last time round. It was quite good once everyone had got the hang of deploying with squad-mates already in the field (rather than walking miles, only to get shot again)

For a full list of the games played, have a look at the LAN Party page for this weekend.

Finally, huge thanks to our host once again - it's as much fun now as it was ten years ago! The next LAN has been penciled in for 1st-4th October 2015.

With BobLAN 2015.1 less than a week away, all those coming need to make sure their PCs are updated with the latest version of all their Steam, Origin and Uplay games.

It's also worth installing (but NOT running yet!) Battlefield 4 via Origin's Game Time offer. This allows you to install the game and play it for free for a given period of time. It is important to note that your time starts when you first launch the game, not when you install it!

The dates for the first BobLAN of 2015 have been announced. The LAN will take place from Thursday 23rd until Sunday 26th April. The usual LAN Party page and Forums Topic are up and available for use.
