How to run a SUCCESSFUL LAN PARTY

LAN Parties are legendary in PC gaming. Events such as Dreamhack and PDXLAN shine a much brighter light on what makes a LAN party but in the old days when that wasn't a thing, LAN parties started out in people's houses. In this video, I want to talk about things to be mindful of when running a LAN party in your own home, and show you a bit of stuff from our latest LAN Party :)

I commented a few time on your lan party vids awhile ago with questions and you answered. Just wanted to say thanks! I hosted my first LAN party with 10 people and went flawless had the most fun in a long time and looks like it will be a yearly event with maybe almost 15 people for next time! Thank you for the help!

It's great seeing a LAN party happen again after the last few years!

Never attended a LAN Party but did play a few games linked, looks like it was a great day of fun.

I'm impressed with this video. Thanks for the spotlight on LAN parties. I haven't done one in about 6 years, when I was a homeowner.

Ultimate LAN party essentials: 1) power boards, extension, and network cables 👍. 2) Load up on munchies and drinks 👍 3) Friends 😜🤪

As someone who grew up watching their older brother throw these but could never join, I'm throwing my own soon with my friends and am way too hyped

I haven't been to a lan party since 2017. I'd love to be able to find one locally.

4:18 I'm still rocking a 970 with a 4790k. I wish I could SLI my 970 with another but they're way too expensive still.

I wish i had friends so that o could host a lan party. Atleast have friends so i could get invited to one. When i try to talk to people i just freeze. 😢😢

When building a LAN party room consider installing thicker wires and cables for permanent installation so you don't melt/burn wires after changing the breaker or putting a breaker with higher rating

[PinkyTech]

And invest in good extension cords if you need to run them. Dollar store cords will heat up and cause their own issues.

How many xboxes could you run on one circuit

[BigPapiNick]

Can a fanless network switch be ran for a weekend long LAN party and not short out?

[MangoRavesTTV]

Is making the Lan server that easy?? I always thought I had to do something on the main computer or create a server

[gumbi]

Can you have desktops, Xbox one, and series X all playing each other in a LAN party? Or do they all have to be the same device?
