Now that everything has worked out, I feel comfortable sharing what I got going on tomorrow!

Tomorrow, I will be live with #CLXGaming on their Twitch channel (https://www.twitch.tv/clxgamingtv) to talk about #LANFest as they build a PC to give away!

So, come on through at 2:00pm ET to learn about how LANFest is building healthy communities through gaming and how to win a brand new gaming PC courtesy of CLX Gaming!

By the way, I've played on their systems before, and they are GLORIOUS!

So, I got some news that may determine if the PlayStation Showcase gets streamed Thursday on my channel!

If I can pull this off, I'm hoping I can after doing something else for #LANFest.

Stay tuned!

With #LANFest, we are building healthy communities through gaming that way we don't have to worry about local console LANs from going away.

This doesn't have to be a self-fulfilling prophesy like #TheVerge thinks it is.

Mario Kart: Double Dash and the short-lived joy of console LAN parties

LAN parties may have required Sisyphean effort to assemble, but the joy of in-person mass gaming is akin to lightning in a bottle in the time of ubiquitous online gaming.
