From my view, a event like a LAN might give a "new life" to ET again.. The good old times which i haven't faced with.
e; I know setting up a LAN is hard, but still could noone do this?
And when i saw "intel" i was like, LETS GET STARTED.. but then i read the news post :/
Noone is stopping you from doing it on your own. but Let's stop this discussion here. own journal/pm/collum/irc would be a better place.
