Ja it was pretty cool (the expo, didn't go to the lan).

Sept the CSS compo, almost fell asleep watching 5 minutes.

Couple good first looks at a couple games - can't wait for Call of Duty 4, looks awesome. Most impressive I saw. Assassin's Creed was also looking good. Not impressed by Halo 3, looks pretty ordinary. It's all about marketing hype IMO.

Couple nice case mods and hardware on display, and that was pretty much it

After this being my third rAge. My last rAge I went to prior to this was in 2003 and 2004 and they were awesome, the whole LAN area was at the top of The Dome and just worked perfectly however, this year was a huge disappointment to me after missing the last two years, I was expecting something really great.

Firstly the Expo was cut in half to what it was in 2004 which made it extremely cramped, specially mid-day on Saturday. The LAN area was the most unorganised it has ever been. When I arrived on Friday afternoon at around 3:00 the LAN was actually full. No joke, I struggled to find seats for at least 40mins. There were seats available at some parts but when I went to try and acquire these seats some random dude would say "These are reserved for my clan, sorry". I mean? Wow. Even though the tickets say unreserved seating but oh well, too avoid a fight I continued to look. Also the security for the LAN was inconsistent. On the Friday night we were able to bring food in from else were because to be quite frank the food was waay too expensive inside The Dome. However, when we tried to do the same trick on Saturday it was totally forbidden to our amazement.

The whole LAN as a whole left a sour taste in my mouth, why has it deteriated soo much? Yet, I will still go next year though, the event is not yet at a level that you won’t go again, it’s just from what used to seem like a professional expo and LAN it’s now nothing special really. The hype doesn’t fit anymore, sadly. Also even though the LAN had gigabit switches the speed was bottlenecked to 100MBPS which is something else I cannot understand. Oh and to emphasise how poor the security was, there were a couple of people inside the LAN area without the green band on their arms playing games and proudly bragging how they just got in without even buying a ticket.

Crud, aren't we all Jay!

Was the VC crew not organizing the open lan? They always do a good job(this i know from experience!)!
