What go on?

zombie[LAN] is a social gaming LAN with people from around the Norfolk area, but some come from further afield.  The games played vary from the mainstream CSS, CoD etc to the more obscure older games, one LAN was lost to a game called Insane, old racing game from Codemasters [who remembers them hmmm?]

But along with the PC gaming, there is normally a 360 and a Wii and a projector and on occasion we do put films on as well.

Of course the smokers amongst us do have some “entertaining” conversations late at night

Facilities

  • The venue has a kitchen with fridge, freezer, cooker, microwave [Just clear up after yourselves please]

  • Ample off-road parking

  • Grass area for camping

  • Outdoor basketball court

How Much Does It Cost?

zombie[LAN] costs a mere £20, this covers from the start time of 21:00 on the Friday through to the 15:00 on the Sunday, a whole 42 HOURS of gaming.  Not bad eh?

We are also able to offer on the Saturday night a BBQ that includes, burgers, sausages, chicken all for the price of £5, this is a separate charge and you do not have to put in for the BBQ if you don’t want.  However it is very popular and most people go in for it.

Games Played

As with every LAN event a range of games are played from FPS to RTS however there are some favourites that reoccur at zombie[LAN]

  • Call of Duty 4
  • Team Fortress 2
  • UT 2004/3
  • Dawn of War – Plus Expansions

Of course other games are played throughout the event.  But if you have a game you want to play, post it on the forums before the event so people can get the game if they want to play it, or just shout out at the LAN “who wants to play this game” and you will get some takers.
The server team are able to run dedicated servers for most FPS games, but have a word with them and see if they can put a dedicated server up for you.

Each month also seems to bring a new patch for some game, so we try to maintain a list of the common patches for games we use, they will also be on the FTP if you don’t have them.  But check out the list here Games list

Local Services

The current venue is located in the small village of Bawdeswell.  They have a pretty good village shop, stocking food, beer, drink etc and a mere 2 minute walk from the venue.  There are a few supermarkets within a 30 minute drive from the venue, but most people stock up before their arrive.  The size of the fridge and freezer is limited, so bare that in mind when buying food.
