Right here in Iluma, a new LAN gaming center had launched its opening today. Being a member of Vr-zone forums, we had the honor of joining the launch party which is free LAN gaming for the day, you get to have your PC for a day of gaming.

Known as the Colosseum, it is located on the 7th floor in Iluma Shopping Center, opposite Bugis Junction, Singapore. Those who were invited today got themselves a free signup as a member of the LAN shop.

a messy table..before I go out…

Unfortunately, I was too engrossed in gaming with fellow Otakucafe mates that I didn’t took the effort to go around taking pictures. There were other people who did and they were armed with big DSLR cameras and took some nice shots around. Some of the photos here belongs to booest, a senior member from Vr-zone forums.

Acer Predator

Claimed to have 200 computers in total, they are all Acer gaming rigs with Razer keyboards and Krait mouse. For audio, they use Seinheisser headphones which is pretty good although the volume lacks the kick in it. There were exclusive rigs which consist of Acer Predator PCs, Razer Tarantula keyboards and Lachesis mouse.

The event started at 1pm and I was happily gaming with fellow Otakucafe / TBE mates until 8pm+ before we settled our dinner at Burger King.

Red alert 3…24″ LCD @ 1080p gaming

There were a lot of games, most of the titles from Steam store – popular ones will include Left 4 Dead, Team Fortress 2, Counterstrike: Source, etc. Online games like WoW, Warhammer online, Maple, Audition were inside too. The only game that I wished they have was Call of Duty 4, 5.

Otakucafe members, guess who is who?

I forsee great events to come from them, given the size of their LAN shop. Colosseum is located at Level 7 in Iluma, opposite Bugis Junction in Singapore.

ps: Left 4 Dead versus gaming is simply kick ass ;)
