I'm younger, and i play LAN games all the time. Spent so much time playing Supreme Commander over LAN it's unreal. And me and my friend are having a Borderlands LAN weekend this saturday.timax said:
I remember playing Age of Empires a few years back. Me and my buddy would play on LAN for hours at a time...
Also sometimes I use a VPN and me and a friend across the country play GMod on LAN(Although that technically isn't LAN...)So yeah, I've used it.

The best place to play LAN games are at school when every computer is hardwired together (as opposed to WLAN). Great place to play classic games that crappy computers can run 
I had tons of LAN games.
Duke Nukem 3D with my two brothers (sometimes on maps that I made , loved to build in a obscure secret spot loaded with ammo :3 ), Medal of Honor (some ancient demo cause we didn't had full), Myth II: Soulblighter, Starcraft, Marathon, Age of Empires, Stronghold. The list goes on and on..

I used to go to LAN parties. This was years ago, before there was anything better than 56K modems around, so speed was a big factor for using LAN. I was 14 at the time and I played we a bunch of 20-something year olds. We'd stay up late, eat junk food and slaughter each other in Quake and Quake 2. It was great, good company, good games, good food means a good atmosphear. There wasn't enough computers for everyone to play at once, so everynow and then one of us would walk around and watch and learn from the others.
I also played CoD4 at my uni last year. My class didn't play too much, so I went and joined the year above us in their games. I made a lot of friends that year. I became a bit of a prodigy since there was one guy who was practially untouchable for a year in their group until I came around. It was kind of funny since I almost had a white knight thing going on.
I used to play a few C&C games online, CS and WoW online. But I never had as much fun as playing on a LAN. The looks of disbelief, the laughs, no one giving you crap if your not playing your best and no one your not already friends with. Lan is just a really fun enviroment and LAN parties are some of the best parties I've ever been to.

Used to go to a late night computer club in the independent shop I worked in, they had 12 networked computers downstairs which people could use anytime of the day (Internet Cafe style, although it was mainly used for gaming) then on Tuesday and Fridays when the shop closed the club would start with 12 people gaming. Went from 5:30 till 3 or 4 in the morning, was amazing at the time for me.
We played:
CS 1.6
Day of Defeat was huge.
Medal of Honor.
Diablo 2
Then it started to advance;
CS: Source
Day of Defeat Source
And then finally came the decline of the club:
World of Warcraft.

It's the only reason I can give my parents when I say that gaming doesn't mean I'm antisocial. I've got a group of friends and we get together at a place pretty much dedicated to LAN gaming, so we don't have to drag our own rigs along, and we game. I have a rule (inspired by Yahtzee of course) that I don't play with other people unless I can reach over and kick them in the balls. Or chuck an empty energy drink can at their head. So LAN parties are great for that. Plus it's probably the only time some of them will actually be around real girls, or people, except at school.
No but, I would love to be part of a LAN party >.>
I figure it would be more reliable than other web-based multiplayer matches...smoother too. Also, you can taunt your opponents in person as opposed to just tea-bagging.

Might as well have just started and finished the thread with this. Pretty much sums the whole thing up.timax said:
I would still be doing it if the people I played with hadn't all moved and the people still around weren't too busy to most of the time.
