It's most likely staged.. but hey, if I was at a LAN party and saw that I wouldn't cheat either. 8-[

True... I'm sure it worked VERY well as a deterrent for others who might have been thinking about it!

couldn't get a good look, but that looked like an AT form-factor minitower from the 486/Pentium era. Monitor looked older and smaller too.

But, if you run a LAN gaming establishment, make sure to use the video as required watching when your users step up to play. ;)
