LAN parties

A LAN party is a social event where people bring their computers or gaming consoles to a single location to connect directly via a local area network (LAN). This setup allows participants to play multiplayer video games with low latency and high-speed performance, often enjoying a more seamless experience than over the internet. LAN parties typically feature shared internet access, gaming competitions, and social interactions, fostering a community atmosphere. They can range from informal gatherings among friends to large-scale events with dozens or hundreds of participants.
