Review of My New Year's Eve LAN Party
An interesting piece about an alternative to the lavish partying that usually accompanies New Years. It is informational, but doesn't feel like the topic is being "dumbed down." Good use of natural sound throughout, especially the conversation and remark from players, but the dramatic music can get distracting.
