Battlefield Funan Lanparty 2006
Right after two days of experiencing nVIDIA graphics at the NVIDIA Reality Tour (link), the gamers were getting into the mood for more. Pretty graphics? An opportunity for a PC showcase? Getting together for a good fragout? The gamers wanted all that and more, not for a transient moment, but for a full blown 3D2N LANParty at Singapore's Funan Digital Life Mall.
In the heart of the city, the usual peace of the mall was disrupted by the throbbing pulse of the gamers' enthusiasm. Everyone was down for a good time, to play more games than they ever could, and to consume more caffeine in 72 hours than they normally would in 72 days.

Setting Up..
Showered by the refreshing lime green of NVIDIA's presence, many early birds were around to get their systems up and running. High Definition Gaming sure was popular. You could see gamers who grew tired of their 17 inch monitors jumping into the NVIDIA booth to try some 2560 X 1600 racing on Dell's 3007WFP.

The Battlefield - Atrium@Funan
The lanparty was modelled around a theme based on the popular Battlefield PC Game series. We decorated the Funan atrium with items like camouflage nets, gunny sacks, toy guns and various types of military equipment, and we even got two Battlefield characters to address the gamers...
Our Axis general, Josh!
Our Allied General, HG!
Nvidia's Regional Sales VP, Mr Lai addressing the public and gamers during the event
A full-fledged gaming system was donated to the Salvation Army after the opening speech, courtesy of Nvidia!!!
After which, we had a series of exhibition matches between some of the top gaming clans in Singapore, including the Titans (CS), Synergy (CS), SAF (BF2142), JEDI (BF2142), FsK (NFS), X3M (DOTA) & Our very own VRZ (DOTA)!
Huge crowds surrounding the players for the exhibition match
X3M won VRZ in the Dota Exhibition match in a mere 21 minutes.
Dark-horse Synergy won the poster clan Titans in a very interesting Counter-Strike Source exhibition which ended with a score of 16-14.
Prizes are presented to the winners by the Nvidia VP of Sales, Mr Lai Yit Loong.
Not forgetting the friendly NFS match that FsK.IZECUBEZ had with Nvidia's Mr Lai
