A sacred ritual where many socially outcast males, of the Nerdus religion, engage in ritualistic murder of eachother (referred to as "fragging") in the hopes that their god Microson will grant them another life, which is referred to as a "respawn" among them. It is also speculated that caffeinated drinks are served. A LAN party has never been witnessed by an outsider before, and therefore everything known about them is speculation.

A gathering usually consisting of a group of friends, for fun or competition. This gathering involves either a Xbox, and/or a PC. Including games such as Counter Strike and/or Halo. LAN Parties usually go on all night due to extensive junk food consumption and caffeine, resulting in elongated sleep the night after the LAN Party.

When your boyfriend gathers with his nerdy friends to play computer games all night instead of calling you up to say happy birthday.
"Hey, John, was Napoleon with you last night?"
"Why yes, he was at the LAN party, why?"
"It was my birthday and he didn't even call."
"Oh shit."
"Why yes, he was at the LAN party, why?"
"It was my birthday and he didn't even call."

the phrase "lan" is derived from the abbreviation Local access network, pronounced phonetically.
Having hosted a few myself, I know there usually isnt gay orgy/porn transfer involved...

A New Social Ritual Amongst The Elite
If you've never been to a LAN Party, you haven't lived properly (or you suck at gaming). If you suck at gaming, dont despair, you can still go to a LAN party, jack in, and just sniff packets and write code and still have some fun. Or you can be the sysadmin and setup the networking or you can just handle the food and beverages (get me my Bawls!)
Ah, sweet LAN parties...The stimulating scent of caffeine, the verbal jousting, the smell of pepperoni lingering in the air, the floor a tangled infestation of cat5, the neon lights of case mods poking through the scene like lasers in fog. Nothing quite like it. And when the gaming starts, everybody becomes so intense. One frag leads to the next, emotions wax and wane as gibs amass and levels change, here an unnamed player, there an elite commando with uncanny aim. Over time, the LAN party itself, a single organism, breathing, hunting....
Or something like that.

A coagulation of the worlds young to middle-aged virgins into one, testosterone free room. These individuals are usually male, but have many alias' via the internet. They live their life mostly on-line and restrict their social agenda to Lan party's and the occasional ultimate frisbee game. These LAN goers know their way around a computer, but not the elusive "vagina". You see them on the streets, wearing finger-less gloves,tank goggles, and the clever comment tee. If you hear a song that you think couldnt possibly be liked by anyone, there is probably a LAN man around.
Josh: so what are ya'll doing this weekend?
X: i'm going hunting
Ian: *turns down Indie music...i'm going to a LAN party... *turns Indie music back up and slides on tank goggles
