Wonderful turnout, beautiful people. There's something about the size of this community that still makes these sort of lans such an intimate, personal experience while leaving the community with a solid core as this game continues to take off over the next year.
I'd like to thank you all for giving me to opportunity to talk about video games with my good friend Mike, I cannot even begin to list how many times he made me utterly crack up or non-stop smile while live; I hope it wasn't too detracting and yet I also hope you guys enjoyed the banter. We don't get to cast together much if at all anymore so it truly meant a lot. Production wise I really don't know how else to put this... but thank you to everyone for putting their heart and soul into these events. I don't know what needs to happen to ever pay back these guys, but I just wish it was as simple as dropping loads of money into dashners (or the lot of you's) lap for all of their selfless time spent. (Any takers?)
Whether it's mala's cookies and smile or Geck's fresh style. Showstopper's crisp haircut and memes or b4nny sharing his gin after another lan victory. Various gamer self-roasts or MLX's Canadian accents. (meeting luc after soo many years!) There are so many funny little intricacies about this community that truly make LAN environments worth it. I implore each and every one of you to come to future events. Whether you are there to game, or just to socialize with people who's voices you know and recognize for ages online but have never got the chance to meet.. DO IT. cu@GXL next year EU. :D
Geel, mutual feeling. <3 Thank you oodles for believing in and supporting this little community that could.
Finally, Nick Leon ladies and gentlemen *5 minutes of clapping* keep on carrying these lans, putting the team on your back.
xoxo
