You'll remember Grimfoe and Grimfoe Mike & Josh as the organizers of Exile XI's Magic the Gathering drafts. As this event will be at Grimfoe, PC space is limited to 24 gamers, so sign up soon. The cost of this event will be $10 and may net you some fun prizes or admission to Exile XII.

The second event, Working Title, will be held in the Summer of 2012 in cooperation with Pastime Legends Video Games. You'll remember Joe & Bushy from Exile XI as the two who ran the console tournaments while playing Magic the Gathering. While this event will most likely be bigger than our first we don't have any details at this moment, if you see Joe though bug him about it.

Finally Exile's biggest event yet! Exile LAN XII will be held from September 15th to 16th at the Hilton Garden Inn in Troy, NY. This is the same location that Exile XI was hosted from.

History of Exile Computer Gaming

Exile computer gaming started after Mariner and ZOSO met on the iGames.org forums. Both were independently researching opening up their own computer gaming centers in the Albany, NY area. To test the concept they joined together and started organizing LAN parties in August 2006. That first LAN party brought in 7 gamers. Exile LAN parties have now grown to over 50 gamers and four organizers.

The purpose of Exile LAN parties is to bring like minded people together for hours of gaming fun. It offers gamers a chance to meet new people, make new friends, trade ideas and insight, and feel the satisfaction of fragging someone sitting right next to you! What's more, you don't have to be a pro gamer to walk away from an Exile event with something! We hold raffles, host non-gaming tournaments for fun, and give away tons of schwag.

Exile parties take place every 4-6 months and we welcome beginners, weekend warriors and hard core gamers.
