Nights in photos

“Every cable has a story.”

Snapshots from Friday LANs, Saturday retro nights and the odd storm blackout. Faces appear only with permission, and anyone can ask for a photo to come down at any time.

Before you scroll

“A few words about photos.”

Photos here are taken by members and shared with the permission of everyone in frame. We keep screens and chat names out of shot where we can, and anyone who spots themselves and would rather not can ask the crew for the picture to come down. It will be gone within a day, and nobody will ask why. We would sooner lose a nice picture than keep a member uneasy.

None of this is slick. The lighting is whatever the ceiling gives us, and half the pictures have a cable somewhere in them. We think that's about right for a room that is mostly cables. If you would like to contribute, or to help sort the pictures, hand your best shot to the guides editor on a Friday and tell us who is in it.

“Every photo from the club room has a cable somewhere in it. That's not bad framing, that's the whole building holding hands under the tables.”

From the club room

“The wall of cables.”

Cable runs along the floor between two rows of tables
A late match with the room lit by monitors
A tabletop game mid-turn with cards, tokens and dice
Miniatures arranged on a table beside a rulebook
Two players leaning over a strategy board game
Members laughing together after a close league match
Players watching a league match on a big screen
Two players in headsets side by side at their PCs
