Fragapalooza (also referred to as Frag or Fraga by participants) is an annual video game festival/LAN party that takes place in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. Usually held in mid August, it runs over a period of four days, allowing non-stop gaming. It is currently Canada's largest LAN party event having reached approximately 800 attendees in 2008.〔(A Tech Zone article 1 ) retrieved 24 January 2008〕〔(nVidia article ) retrieved 12 February 2008〕 While Fragapalooza provides several official tournaments every year, these are not considered to be of primary appeal to participants. ==History== Fragapalooza started in Edmonton, Alberta in 1997 by Gil "StraT" Amores.,〔(Bjorn3d article ) retrieved 12 February 2008〕 David Chan, Derek French, Scott Beuker and Poh Tan. The first event consisted primarily of QuakeWorld and was held in a hangar at the Edmonton Municipal Airport. It has since evolved into a much larger annual gathering, occasionally drawing attendees from across Canada and the United States.〔(FutureLooks article ) retrieved 5 May 200〕 A proof-of-concept event called Quakefest was held at The Node Room in 1996. Gil & Poh ran the event. It was well accepted and was determined that a larger venue was in order. Hence Fragapalooza in the following years. In November 2002, a one time 'Fragapalooza East' event was held in Mississauga, Ontario which has not been repeated since. In February 2009, Fragapalooza held its first winter event in Grande Prairie, Alberta attended by approximately 100 people. It is unknown if this will become an official annual event. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Fragapalooza」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
