"Is that a real machete?"
"No. It's just a movie prop."
"But it looks sharp."
"It is."
"Boys about to have a good time"
Just some dudes having fun
Edit: just realizing LAN parties are an old people thing
The guy that brought the Powermac G4 is tied up in the back seat I hope.

Unironically jealous of the size of that lan-party. I had one chance in my life at a Civ 5 lan party, but it was last second and I was working weekends.

I'd say this was me, but let's face it, I didn't have that many friends.
The Computer Gang was also a band. They dreamed of themselves as a Korn-hip-hop hybrid. If only they could just figure out how to create better beats and hoppin' basslines. But Brad broke his foot, right after that Mike's mom banned band practice in her garage, and then Chris got grounded for his M-80 in the toilet stunt. They took these events as an omen and the gang disbanded as a musical group.
The boys would eventually get back together, and today are known as Converge
First, they came for the Slushee, and I said nothing.
Then, they came for the Slim Jim, and I still said nothing.
Finally, they came for the Gateway 2000 that my father purchased without asking me what graphics card to get, and I grabbed my replica sword I stole from the state fair and I fought to the death.
DSA Central committee
They left someone out of the picture but included their PC.
The person taking it probably
The resistance after beating Joe Biden's opsec
Tonight we're gonna party like it's 1999

Aaaw this makes me think of simpler times. I had a couple of lan-parties in my teens and early twenties.
Battlestation meetup

It's "Hot Pockets, Quake, and Mountain Dew" night for the Pawnee High School Computer Club
My man on the far right seems to have what is a Fellblade from GW1. Loved that skin to death and would often farm it for builds.
