I only went to a LAN party once as a teenager. It was too much of a hassle to carry the PC and the CRT monitor. I had to pester my mother to carry everything. Nowadays I'd probably carry a SFF PC and one of those 12-13 inches detachable 1080p screens. And I'd still play CS 1.6, Q3, Diablo 2 and StarCraft most probably.
Besides, as I said, I was just a dumb teenager. All I did was downloading anime and games from other people. I remember I got a leaked copy of Halo 2 weeks before release, I had no Xbox at the time but I downloaded, burned it and send it over post to a friend who lives on the other side of the country, back when download speeds over DSL were 256kbps.
There, I just admitted to a crime!!!
My circle of friends and I usually went often to internet cafes though.
