Ok, I admit that the headline for this post is perhaps. I dunno… out of place. But c’mon, I mean you don’t get to see a resurrection of a Lan Party that in the past had so much force behind it that it was literally a ticking time bomb of pure gaming awesomeness. I’m referring to what is and was know as “The GXL” lan parties and man they were tons of fun. Tons of great games, even better gamers, kick ass tournaments, tons of free swag and much much more. It was the type of event that you couldn’t wait til it got here and then cried like a baby when it was over. They were the stuff of legends!
However as fated are all good things, it simply ran it’s course and before we knew it the GXL lan parties were gone. A mere afterthought and a fading but glorious memory.
But wait! What’s this? GXL Resurrection? WHAT???????? The GXL is coming back? A fall 2013 event you say? Is this for real? This isn’t an April’s fools joke is it? No, you’re serious?
