LAN Party Guide

Welcome to LanPartyGuide.com!

Tricked out computers, Mountain Dew, pizza, cold cathodes, and PC games... OH it's a LAN Party! I've put together this website to help others get their LAN games up and working.

I've definetly had my fair share of trouble with lanparty games, so I figured I would share my knowledge with everyone.

Also, CONTACT ME if you have ideas!

Enjoy a stupid video, starring me!
