Proposal:

I was wondering if there should be a section added that pertains to some of the games that are played. At major LAN Parties they may mostly play LAN type games like Team Fortress 2, Quake, and Unreal Tournament, but at Smaller LANs like that at people’s homes, I feel like any game is welcome as long as everyone plays. I have attended many self-held LAN parties, nearly every weekend at friend's homes as well as my own. At these events, we played all types of games like Battlefield 3, World of Warcraft, Minecraft, Skyrim, GTA V, and many others. Should there be a section that covers games played? There could be a chart with popular games that are "true" LAN games like Halo or Unreal Tournament that require no internet connection and then maybe a column of popular internet LAN games, Like WOW and CS Go and Battlefield? There can also be a possible column of games that are played that aren’t competitive like Minecraft or single player campaign games (GTA V, Skyrim, Watchdogs, or Metro Last Light)??? The Single Player Games are not a priority but I think there should be at least some information about games that are played!  ~~~~

Games Played

In the beginning of the the LAN party, games were true to the word "LAN"; They did not require the internet to connect people together, rather the physical connection between computers in a small area. In today's world, many games are being played together by friends across the world with the use of the internet. The enormity of the Internet is allowing the world to game together, making true LAN parties things of the past. In today's gaming culture, many games that are considered LAN games also use internet. This new era has opened the door to many different types of games that are played at LAN parties. Generally the type of game does not matter just that everyone plays it.
