The GeForce LAN is back, and it's better than ever. This year, 48-hour LANstravaganza is going to be held on October 14th through 16th, on an aircraft carrier just outside of San Francisco, CA. Did we just say on an aircraft carrier? We did.
A general admission ticket lets you check out the event and play some Battlefield 3, but won't get you into the BYOC (bring your own computer) section, where the real gaming happens. Unfortunately, those tickets are sold out.
Except for you, Maximum PC readers--you've got a chance to win BYOC tickets to the event, totally free. Our friends over at Digital Storm are going to be running a DiRT 3 racing simulator competition at the LAN, and they've slipped us two sets of two tickets to give away. If you live in the Bay Area (or would be willing to make a last-minute road trip) and want to win the chance to attend a kick-ass gaming event with a friend, read on!
We're giving one set of tickets away on our Facebook page, and one set away right here. If you want, you can enter both drawings! To enter the Facebook giveaway, go to our Facebook page and respond to our post about the giveaway. To enter here, just hit the comments below, and tell us about your favorite LAN experience, or about the one game you'd play the most if you went to the GeForce LAN. We'll draw winners on Monday, October 10th. Full contest rules below.

First Off-----AirCraft Carrier!!!!!!! :)
Best Lan Party I ever had was with a group of 12 friends in Ireland - we hired two conference rooms, one for each team for 24hrs and went at it with BC2 and CSS - Epic Fun was had!
We had free tea and coffee and a fridge for beer in each room.We also had to lock up ourselves as it was a weekend!
We had a prize for awesomeness.It was a homemade Action Man Statue with a L96A1 rifle on a wooden platform engraved (See my profile PIC). We also had a fantastic poster with all our names and our heads put on the Expendables characters from the movie. Best time ever (Helped by Samual Adams and delivered Pizza)
I have the thing on my Computer desk at Home and the poster :)
Fond Memories of my buddies back in Ireland but now I live in the Bay Area and am up for meeting new friends and some BF3!

BF3 + Maximum PC FTW!

Over the summer me and the gaming community I'm in had an epic LAN party with Minecraft, League of Legends, Starcraft. It was the very first LAN party me and my friends threw together and we had lots of fun. There were only five of us, so we were able to get some five versus five matches going against the internet. And it was just so fun to be able to talk directly to each other, as well as laugh together for the first time, since we met on the internet two years ago.
Me and my girlfriend have been meaning to attend the GeForce LAN, but have been unable to due to money contraints. We reside in the east bay and south bay respectively and would love to go. ^^
A game that we would most likely play would be Battlefield 3, I've been looking forward to that game since it was announced! What's there not to love about the Frostbite 2 engine?! I've also always loved the design and astethics of the Digital Storm PC's it would be a great opprotunity to check them out.

I LAN with my little sister. It stinks when the pupil starts beating the teacher. I would play a lot of Dirt 3 at GeForce.

A Carrier that carries "history" on its back, I'd say it's a little disrespect such events taking place on it.
Only as "museum" is acceptable in my opinion; to learn the people its accomplishments etc.

Best LAN experience was watching all my friends enjoy the BF3 beta on Xboxs while I struggled to get it to load on my buddy's gaming laptop. Eventually I gave up and join the console bros.

I am pretty sure this LAN needs some RSVR:DGS there, they just don't know it yet.

Sounds great. I got an unused plane ticket and need to be in San Diego regardless for upcoming PD academy.
As someone who's been to a rally school and some amature races under his belt I'd like a shot at the Dirt 3 simulator.

Not a battleship; an aircraft carrier, though the Hornet did fight in battles.
