This week in the PC section we look at LAN gaming, what it means and how to connect your PC to a LAN network.
A LAN is a gathering of gamers using a local area network(LAN) for gaming sessions, during LAN sessions the response time is faster than interaction over the internet, this changes the quality of the game. The network size varies from the number of computers connected to the hud / switch or an ad-hoc network which requires wifi allowing computers to connect over a wireless connection.
When gamers want to merge one LAN with another, a VPN software such as Hamachi is used to arrange computers over a network so that they appear on the LAN.
Once all your LANing requirements are met, begin looking at the games for the LAN gaming sessions, look into games such Battlefield 3, Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim, etc.
Join LAN clans to improve your LANing experience, where you get to meet other gamers who share the same gaming interests as you. If possible host the LAN session or go online and find LANs in your area.
