It’s a shame LAN parties aren’t much of a thing anymore, given how powerful of a gaming computer you can pack in a mini-ITX case these days and the complete ubiquity of flat panel displays. You wouldn’t even necessarily need a wired network (though still desirable).
I couldn't even play runescape on my dialup connection, not even play and have a laggy experience but play the game at all because they had a speed test check.
If everyone there had a beefy rig, you'd seriously need to consider power draw and running another circuit or two or extension cords all over the house depending on how many people you have.
