The only other thing that would be holding me back from attending besides money is, no cash prizes for an Angry Birds tourney. Not even a farmville one! You would have Fujitsu and Zeus on your doorstep in a heart beat.



Famville is soooo 2010, Cityville is where the fun is at now

I am patiently waiting for new Angry Bird levels though, thanks to a long boring night at work I finished all the Angry Birds levels and all the bonus levels, I am starting to suffer withdrawls...

Well, we sure bumped our prepays up a fair bit. I also know of multiple people who were unable to prepay but are going to pay at the door. As such we are going forward with this event! Also, prepayment is extended until this coming Friday the 14th at midnight! If you can prepay, we ask that you do so we can plan better around how many to expect. Plus, it's cheaper ;D

As a few reminders, we will be having our on-site hot food concession again, so tasty. Serving meals, snacks and drinks!

You can also follow our updates more closely on facebook.lanified.com .

For those who havn't seen it yet, we now have a flash games section of the forum, so come on down and set some high scores!

Last, but definately not least, we will be broadcasting our tournaments and event! This means we will be having commentators for our tournaments, and streaming it live both to our attendees and the internet world wide! Even if you're not sure about victory, we encourage you to enter our tournaments, and kick some ass!

The music on the Robot Unicorn Attack flash game rocks!
I see Epi is kicking but in it.
But the game needs more rainbows.  :-*

Time, Money, and gaming skills are things lacking for me right now for this lanparty.

We will be offering tf2 practice servers, reflecting our tournament configurations, real soon here.

Also, brush up on Robot Unicorn Attack ;D FOR HARMONY!

We at LANified! want to thank everyone that made it out to our event. We're pretty sure that everyone had a great time.

As most of you know this is the first time we broadcasted our event and we think it turned out pretty well considering we had a few early hiccups. While it is a bit disorganized we were able to keep recordings of the broadcasts we made, and they can be found at: http://www.justin.tv/lanified/videos .

Some of our previous attendees also know that we make time lapse videos of our events. The one for event 8 can be found at:

As for the results of the tournaments, here they are.

Starcraft 2:
1st place: Invincible (money shot)
Bracket: Click here!


Heroes of Newerth:
1st place: Team Flux (money shot)
Bracket: Click here!


Team Fortress 2:
1st place: I need a team (money shot)
Bracket: Click here!


We had some great support from our sponsors this event. S2 helped us a lot, and we unfortunately had a bit of a mix-up with CPU Magazine. As such CPU has sent me a link to pass around for a free year subscription! Check it out at: http://www.computerpoweruser.com/Registration/register.aspx . We also had some great support from the concession group, boy was that some tasty grub.


Going forward, we're already planning the next event. Expect to hear more about it soon. If you want to keep up with what's going on with us you can follow us a couple ways in addition to the site. We have a facebook page at http://facebook.lanified.com and we now have an IRC channel! Server: irc.gamesurge.net Channel: #LANified! We also run a public mumble server, to connect just add voice.lanified.com (default port) to your server list. And don't forget we still have our minecraft server at mine.lanified.com !

Can't wait to see you at the next event!
