Battle Stations! Its Cosplay for your LAN setup!
Coming to PDXLAN this Fall? Don’t forget about the “Battle Stations!” contest.
Just what is the Battle Stations contest? The Battle Stations contest is where the attendee creates their ultimate LAN Home for 4 days. What are the essentials you’ll need to power through 4 days of gaming? What ergonomic choices did you make? Did you raise your monitor to alleviate neck pain? Do you have a mega stash of snacks for you and your neighbors? Are you creating more space in your area by putting your pc-tower on a stand? Is there a theme to your battle station? Are you mounting a cup holder to your table for your Monster energy drink? Do you have a “bat signal” beacon aimed at the ceiling to show your geek power?
We want you to dress up your station. We are looking for you to impress those around you. We’re looking for that Ultimate LAN Battle Station. More details to follow on the Fall 2022 Event Info Page by November 1st.

Element TD2, an awesome tower defense game!
One of PDXLAN staff’s favorite genres of games are Tower Defense type games, and Element TD2 is a game you need to check out. Playing Element TD2 can be played in a campaign mode, or in a number of multiplayer modes including co-op and versus. Element TD2 has been a blast to play with friends, and also as a solo player progressing through the campaign.
With 6 elements that combine to create 59 unique towers, players will need to anticipate incoming waves, their elements, and tailor their approach to maximize their defense. Each element has its own strengths and weaknesses, so choosing the right upgrade paths is crucial to winning.
Where the game really shines is in the very fun combination of elements to create unique blends of elemental towers to defeat enemies.
PDXLAN is excited to announce that Element TD2 has sponsored the Fall 2022 event with 100 copies of Element TD2, a $1,500 sponsorship! Huge thanks to the creators of Element TD2 – for a truly awesome game.
You can check the game out on Steam here, or watch the trailer in the below news article.

Thank you Monster for being such a long-term and awesome sponsor! Monster’s sponsorship is valued at over $10,000 per event!!
Be safe now, have a safe event later.
With PDXLAN coming up in under two months we’d like to remind you to be safe now so that we can have a safe event later.
While masks and vaccines are not required by law at PDXLAN Fall 2022, we encourage both if possible. Be it a flu shot, COVID shot, or a alien virus shot, or a mask – if you can help us be more safe at the event, please try do so.
If you are a person who gets vaccines, please make an appointment to get the latest COVID booster before the event. The latest booster that came out last week includes protections against the Omnicron variant.
Masking will be up to each individual person – but we are asking that you mask whenever you can to help lessen the chances of spreading not only COVID, but colds, and the flu as well. Even before COVID was a thing colds and flu’s spread pretty commonly at all types of events. Wearing a mask may not be comfortable, but if it helps my fellow attendee in any way, I am for it.
Thanks for your attention in this matter.
