Post: wat is LAN

A LAN party involves a group of computer users playing games with each other across a Local Area Network, or LAN. Groups of gamers ranging widely in size can be found at LAN parties all over the world, interacting with each other through their computers as well as interpersonally. While the concept is derided by some non-gamers, a LAN party can be a very fun activity for the participants, although a certain level of geekiness is required.
