Win an AK47!

Terrorists take over LAN party

The folks at Roweb have always done things a little differently, and the last time we heard from them they were giving away a full-size replica of Macleod's sword from Highlander as the top prize at their last LAN party. Now they are going one better, with their next event from July 27th to 29th giving budding terrorists the chance to win a genuine (but deactivated!) AK47 assault rifle. Once again the LAN will be taking place at Swindon FC, with room for up to one hundred players, and the focus this time is obviously on Counter-Strike. For more details, check the event website.
