I used to play ps2 and ps3 games a lot with friends at my place. We also had lan-parties a few times, we bringed PCs and played Lineage, CS, Runescape and World of Warcraft at backyard and garage. I can't say it's not possible enough doing this today. Of course, everyone's busy now with jobs and kids, but we still manage to grab a beer and have fun in WoW. At least there is no need to bring heavy computer case and wires, veryone just brings laptops nowadays. We also use help from e2p site sometimes when leveling and raiding, marketplace is pretty handy too. What a shame we had no such things at in our college years.
