About us
WinnipegLAN is a closely knit group of young gamers from the humble city of Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. We gather at each other’s houses for video game sessions that are filled with great action, high level of gameplay, intense competition and hilarity all mashed into one great broadcast. We aim to offer our viewers an exceptional JustinTV adventure; filled with remarkably fun interactivity between us and the viewers. We get our viewers to cheer us on, pick favourites, recommend games to play, talk about video games in general or just chat. But most importantly we share entertaining times together. Although WinnipegLAN is fairly new to the JustinTV scene, we are bursting at the seams with potential. We are constantly finding and purchasing new upgrades for our streaming/LAN set-up. We are also currently in the preliminary stages of planning our very own charity event to support the Child’s Play Foundation sometime during the winter season; we believe that it is important to give back to everyone we can because we have been so fortunate in our lives. WinnipegLAN’s online forums and community are getting off the ground currently, with forums implemented already; we will soon be adding new features, the biggest of all being, blogs. The five of us will be blogging about all of our gaming related thoughts and happenings. Our community-user base is growing rapidly and it is safe to say that WinnipegLAN has a great future to look forward to.
