It's scheduled for July 15-18. 4 days of non stop gaming in Canada'a largest Lan party. It's a BYOC event and is held every summer here in Edmonton.

I also wanted to give you a link to this promotional video, done by a member of the fraga community. It's pretty sweet. Just keep in mind if you watch it, that even though all the monitors in the video show counter strike, that is not the only game played. :-P

I think the author is a little biast. Hehe

I'm really pumped this year and it's going to be a lot of fun as always.

What other games do they play?

I'd go, except I'm not in Canada, and my parents wouldn't let me go because I'm not out of high school yet (2 more years!)

There's only one event I look forward to each year gaming competition-wise, and that's the World Cyber Games.

Hope that you have a great time though. Sounds like a hell of a party.

heh, I forgot about Fragapalooza.... has it already been a year? ...

I've thought about going, several times now... but I haven't ever had a computer that I felt was worthy of the competition.... until possibly now, however, I doubt I'll go either way...

but yarx, I'm sure Paragon will be there..... I'm pretty sure he wanted to go.... so yeah, you'll probably see him there

I've heard of that, it sounds fun. I've never actually been on a LAN party, and I probably should...

Eh... I'll be showing up assuming I can find someone to drag up there this year. I'm not really into going by myself for the third year in a row... just gets to be boring sometimes....

But, Yarx, I hope to see you there, if I find someone to bring. ;P

Sounds fun and now since i live ever more close to Canada's border i would not be to hard for me to get there. i do however miss northen wisconsin's biggest lan party, The 36 Hour Lan Madness. I might be able to join this lan party but you never know. I might hit the 36 hour instead of fragapalooza.

I hope you find some one to go with you Parag0n. But I can see how that drive would suck, being the only person in the car all the way from Calgary. Will managed to get a buddy of his (Ganondorf) to come to it. He's flying up I believe. Will is going to be there starting thursday afternoon (only flight he could find) And I believe Vivi Ornitier III will be there for a bit as well (though not the whole thing).

So it works out to 5 of us in total (at peak anyways). But those are just people I know from online.

It works out to about 76 Hours nonstop (approx, I could be off by a few hours)

Last year we had close to a thousand people at Fragapalooza. Right now there are over 600 people signed up. More will sign up between now and the start of the event and some will show up and just register at the door.

There's one big event I go to every year, and that's "The Gathering" at Hamar, Norway. LAN-party during the easter holiday (5 days) with 5200 participants. (and there's at least 2k more people that wants tickets, but unfortunately there isn't room for more than 5200. heh)
It's held in the Vikingship. A big skate-stadium used under the Olympics in 94.
