Capital LAN

Capital LAN Capital LAN, in NY's Capital Region, hosts educational and community events centered on video games. That first LAN party brought in 7 gamers.

Our key event, ATRLAN in Troy, NY, is a competitive, multi-day LAN party uniting gamers for fun and learning. ATR Gamers continues the ideals set by the founders of Exile Computer Gaming in the ATRLAN Events. Exile Computer Gaming started after Mariner and ZOSO met on the iGames.org forums. Both were independently researching opening up their own computer gaming centers in the Albany, NY area. To

test the concept they joined together and started organizing LAN parties in August 2006. Exile LAN parties have now grown to over 75 gamers and five organizers. The purpose of Exile LAN parties is to bring like minded people together for hours of gaming fun. It offers gamers a chance to meet new people, make new friends, trade ideas and insight, and feel the satisfaction of fragging someone sitting right next to you! What's more, you don't have to be a pro gamer to walk away from an Exile event with something! We hold raffles, host non-gaming tournaments for fun, and give away tons of schwag.
