Most regular readers of our website, without a doubt, know about Campus Party. But for those who hear about it for the first time, Campus Party — is one of the world’s biggest Lan Parties, which is most famous because its participants don’t only bring their computers to it (this is normal for any true lan party), but also live in tents during the course of the lan party, which are placed in the same room as their computers. The Campus Party event takes place annually in various parts pf the world, e.g. Europe, South America, etc. Aside from the regular lan party stuff, many different sub-events are held within Campus Party, such as exhibitions, scientific conferences, various competitions and so on, so PC enthusiasts are guaranteed an interesting pastime.

Back in February we already wrote about another Campus Party, which was held in São Paulo (Brazil), and just a week ago this famous event visited Berlin, Germany, where it took place as a part of Campus Party Europe. It’s worth noting that the event in Berlin lasted for almost a week, therefore almost 10000 (yup, that’s ten thousand) people were able to visit it. Among the visitors to the event were PC enthusiasts of all kinds, including gamers and, of course, modders, many of which took the trouble of bringing their own modding projects with them.
