marita’s coffee chitchat

Ayeh, the LAN was awesome! Fun to meet the guys again and play computer games with/againts em. Food was GREAT, chili casserole on friday. It’s called “Gibbgryta” (gib-casserole), from the LAN’s early days. In games like Quake, gib is the chunks of flesh (bouncing around) from a fragged/killed player, happens after a nasty kill Very appetizing i know! On saturday we had the famous Mayhem Burger. It’s actually the first time i got to taste it, and its really an experience! Takes quite a while to put it together with all the different ingredients.

Anyhow, we didnt go to Stockholm only to eat food, altho it was definitively some of the better meals i’ve had in a while. During the weekend we’ve probably fired thousands of rounds of virtual bullets, stabbed, electrocuted, bombed and slimed down hundreds of victims, taken rifleshots in the head and been plastered up just by going near a firstaidkit and making slurpy noises. We’ve crashed and burned cars, naded friends and foe’s, yelled and cheered all weekend, smacktalked and whined. You cant believe the testosteron in the air unless you’ve been to one of these gatherings. 25ish boys (mawaha some of you are still just boys!) and men all wanting to be Teh King of Frag; noiselevel would be through the roof of smacktalk and cheering, even i got excited altho i tend to believe i’m more of the quiet type while gaming. We got home sunday afternoon, feels like i’ve been in half-coma most of sunday and monday, just trying to recover from the weekend, It’s totally worth it!
