TL;DR

Linus and the LTT crew had just seven hours to turn a badminton club into Whale LAN 2025: a 250-seat gaming extravaganza complete with a stage, LED wall, custom PCs, retro couches, VR arena, vending machines—and more power and networking headaches than you can shake an Ethernet cable at. Between power surges, last-minute table builds, and preloading thousands of Steam installs, chaos ruled the day.

Despite the madness, they pulled off VIP setups, an 8v8 gaming arena, a tape-to-tape office chair shuffleboard, and even a Whale Cup tournament. By event kickoff, everything was live, the lights were glowing, the PCs were whirring…and the chaos turned into the LAN party of the year.
