Looks like it’s that time again! Dust off your gaming mouse, mechanical keyboard, and PC-compatible gaming pads because it’s only 3 months to go until the 8th (that’s right, 8th) NoxLAN!
The date of this very significant milestone LAN will be…
Friday 26th – Sunday 28th August!
8! I can’t quite believe we made it to 8 LANs! That’s a lot of LAN. To celebrate this epic achievement there might be something special planned, it depends on how organised I am! Please bring some 8-themed items / decorations!
That’s almost as much a 1001!
Games timetable is TBC, but will likely include favourites such as Renegade X, Team Fortress 2, and Trackmania Nations United Forever. All of which are free!
Greetings LANites! The time has come to load up on COVID-19 vaccinations, PPE, and toilet roll for it is (hopefully) time for another NoxLAN party! The seventh one to be precise! Although not that precise since two were LFH parties… Regardless, it brings me no end of joy to announce said announcement of the LAN party proceedings and that this LAN will be on the…
Friday 27th – Sunday 29th August!
When you inevitably come to book, the eagle-eyed amongst you will note that I’ve also added a new payment option to pay with magic internet money. Strewth!
Who does this guy think he is?
As a special incentive I’ll also be offering a 100% cashback if you pay with crypto before 1st of August 00:01! Wowzers! If you haven’t yet signed up with an exchange, Coinbase is pretty good. If you use my referral link you’ll get $10 of free BTC as well once you spend $100.

Ooohhhh! It’s almost Halloween, so join us for some spoopy online video games, and some not so spoopy ones on the…
31st of October!
First up is the FREE multiplayer shooter SCP Secret Laboratory, based on the SCP Wiki (a collection of 1000s of short science fiction stories). This game is like no other game I’ve played! It’s an assymmetric, 4 team, multi-class, survival, social, objective-based, wave-respawn, shooter. That’s a lot of keywords!
There are four main teams, each with their own objectives to fulfill:
Foundation – Scientists (try to escape the facility), Guards and MTF (help scientists escape, subdue D-Class, kill SCPs and Chaos)
SCPs – Monsters (kill Foundation and D-Class)
D-Class (try to escape the facility)
Chaos Insurgency (aid D-Class in escaping with high value SCP items)
You will die a LOT in this game, but respawns are only a few minutes away as you will respawn as either an MTF agent (basically the Foundation’s Special Forces) or a Chaos Insurgent.
I hope to get enough of us to get a private server! Even though playing with pubs can be a lot of fun, it would be cool to just have our group playing. Give it a whirl, and tag yourself with @scp-secret-laboratory and @shooter in the #subscriptions channel on Discord to let others know that you’re interested in playing.
Memes and spoops abound in SCP Secret Laboratory
Next up is the sleeper hit Among Us, a Mafia but in space game where you run around a ship doing tasks and responding to emergencies, but people are being picked off one by one by the Impostor…
This is also available on iOS and Android for free (with a few ads), and you can cross-play with those who have it on Steam.

Lastly is the Build-Your-Own aerial shooter DRONE The Game, customise your fighter and then face off in custom-built arenas! This is still in early access but looks promising, plus it’s currently 84% off for a little while so get it while it’s cheap (only £3.80)!
Space Engineers meets Unreal Tournament
The first 5 people to book will get a copy of DRONE The Game for FREE*!
Just under a week to go until the first LFH (LAN From Home) event! In this time of social distancing it’s important we keep our morale up, and some social gaming is a great way to get at least a small measure of friendly but competitive contact!
Get up close and personal with internet gaming
Join the discussions on Discord about the games you would like to play and we’ll see about making a timetable to get ourselves organised.
Following the Government’s announcement to avoid all non-essential travel, regretfully we will be cancelling the next NoxLAN.
<sad noises>
So that we’re not completely without games in our shared time of social isolation, join our Discord where we will be playing over the intertubes and keeping each others’ spirits up!

Everyone who has booked and paid will receive a full refund. This has to be done manually so it might take a bit of time.
Zounds! There’s only a month to go until the next NoxLAN! Thank you to everyone who has booked so far, and if you haven’t booked yet there’s still a few spaces for you!
This could be you if you’re not careful
If you haven’t checked the timetable out yet, there’s been a bit of a site redesign hopefully making all the event information a lot easier to find. Check it out now! https://www.noxlan.co.uk/events/noxlan-5/
Novel coronavirus COVID-19
This outbreak may have an impact on the LAN, dependent upon Government advice.
Awesome news! We’re at half capacity already and we’ve still got 2 months and a bit to go! Woop! Thank you to all those who have booked early. Remember to pester your friends and loved ones to sign up, let’s fill this LAN to capacity!
In the meantime, take a look at the timetable, and familiarise yourself with the FAQs. One of the games we’re looking to try is Blackwake, a multiplayer naval FPS focused on teamwork and cooperation. It was on sale for £1.49 not long ago, so hopefully there should be another sale before the LAN. Keep your eyes peeled and your Steam wallet primed.
There’s only 3 days to go until Early-Bird tickets are no longer available! Book now to avoid booking later!
If you’re wondering why the cost has increased, we want to invest in some new equipment to improve the internet capability of the venue. Hopefully this will allow for a more streamlined gaming experience.
Depending on numbers, there may also be some left over for some coolbean prizes. Oooh. Aaaah. [Appreciative noises]
Unfortunately, due to lack of numbers, we have had to cancel this September’s casual Saturday event. Check back soon for information about the next LAN in 2020!
