Well. Normally I’m not that much of a blogger, but to hell with principles. I’m on this awesome event they call DreamHack. It’s amazing. I’ve been to my fair share of LAN-parties in the past, but this beats absolutely everything. It’s such a different ambience and a totally different crowd than the LAN’s back at home.
I’m not going to talk much about the trip, most other people have already written more than enough about that. The ambience is great though, lots of random clips and movies. Absurdity taken to another level! When you finally arrive in Sweden there’s already a line for the entrance. I’ve heard there was a guy who spent 4 nights or so in a tent to make sure he was the first visitor to arrive. I thought our bus-trip was already hardcore. Once we were allowed to go inside the massiveness of the event is just mind blowing. The hall is huge! But, that’s just Hall B. When you walk around a little there’s also hall D, which has the main stage and everything. Talk about size!
Seeing as I lack the skills to be a pro-gamer, and the competitions aren’t my thing. I’ve enjoyed DreamHack mostly from my laptop with a view on the beamer. I could perfectly follow what was going on over at the main stage! I’m having a blast and when you get the chance to go, sure do!
