- - - What A Night of Gaming 2006 (sponsored by ACM) - - -

For the n00bs among us, WANG is a massive LAN party held on the second floor of the CS building. This year's WANG will start the evening of March 3rd and end around noon on the 5th.

It's a bring-your-own-box event, however, we will have some Xbox and GameCube stations (with projectors) setup for those wandering by. Most people deploy their gaming rig and leave occasionally for food and sleep. ACM will have people watching 24/7 (but can't be held responsible for theft). Generally, people arrive and cluster in groups (which prevents shady activity).

There's a paltry $5 entrance fee that covers Mt. Dew and junk food for the duration.

For those concerned, the majority of gaming is impromptu. Just decide on a game and run around the floor yelling the title at your friends.

That said, we will host some large tournaments (especially for games that require a long time to run to completion, or inspire interest in only a handful of gamers that would normally arrive at different times). Most of these events will be held on Saturday.

What tournaments would you like to see at WANG? Should we have console face-off events? Any other suggestions from those who have attended in the past?

UT2K4. A lot of it.

And some naked hookerbots--but I don't see that happening.

Thoughts on Quake 4? What about HALO 2?

Anything wrong with Mario Kart Double Dash?

Would Apple users enjoy a... uh... Photoshop tournament?
