They say times flies when you have deadlines. The same can be said when you’re playing games. Good friend and Guitar Hero fiend Marlon emailed me about a console gaming party happening in fair Cape Town. I am told that the party was a great success last year, and in 2010 PS3 Cape Town LAN *7* aims to bring more gamers together, be it to just hang out and chat or to compete for some super-awesome prizes.
PS3 Cape Town LAN *7* starts on March 6th at The Box in Claremont, and entrance is a paltry R10. You don’t specifically need to have a PS3 to attend, it is open to all gamers from any platform ;-)

Awesome thanks onelargeprawn! This is great!! :yes: :-D
No problems at all Vecta! Pity I have a prior engagement, but I’m sure you all will have a rollicking good time :-)
Diggin’ the blog Prawny :-P Keep it up man… and yeah :( Wish I could make it too, gonna go watch rugby instead :) Hope all the guys have a slammin’ good time though.
Thanks Tyrone, glad you find some of our content enjoyable.
I met up with Vectaman from GeCo_LANs just the other day and he mentioned that they plan to have another one soon. I hope there will be an Uncharted 2 competition at the next LAN – it’s the only game I’m moderately good at ;-)
It wouldn’t really be a competition with us there though, think the correct word would be “massacre” :P It’s kind of sad how they didn’t add a localized lan multiplayer option for UC2 though, think that might be a problem in arranging something of that sort? Would be super fun though. Seriously can’t wait for UC3 to be released… I’m really curious to see how they’re going to top 2. I thought the same thing about 1 though and they found a way, so I’m sure Naughty Dog will deliver :)
Lol at massacre. Tyrone you have become an unstoppable force in local Uncharted sessions. Stories shall be spoken of you around the camp fires for years to come ;-)
UC1 was missing the online multiplayer component, which they added to #2, and I too am interested to see what new things will be added to the next release. Frankly I’d still buy it even if no innovation was added at all.
Say Vecta, how did the LAN work out?
Haha as long as the bastards don’t burn the marshmellows, they can say “I know Tyrone” around the camp fire as much as they like :P
P.S How’d your holiday thing go mate? :)
The LAN was excellent! May I please direct you to the link below for a review (^^,)
Thanks once again prawn for your assistance!
