by simon.kilroy2＠mail.dcu.ie

Hi folks, Well first of all welcome to the new Games Soc Newsletter! We here on the committee hate spam just as much as you guys so we decided to condense all our weekly news into one complete mail, hope you like it! Right so, onto business...as you probably know we've been extremely active this semester events wise and its not gona be slowing up anytime soon, on the contrary we have loads more great events lined up for you guys in the coming few months. ::[ Lab Gaming ]:: Lab Gaming is finally in full swing and our Counter-Strike Tournament last week was a great success. Congratulations to those who made the team! Next week we'll have more variety with Age of Empires 2 and Starcraft being installed for you strategy gamers. Also look out for an RTS Tournament in the future. If there's other games you're interested in be sure to let us know on the night! ::[Console Gaming]:: Well our console nights for this semester are almost over but it?s not too late to join in and have a bit fun! The current leader for our Semester One Tournament is, unsurprisingly enough, William Lacey (Shadow) but all that could change as we still have one more game to get through! Due to lab gaming we have had to move to Wednesday nights and there is further confusion still! Our console night this coming Wednesday, December 1st many not be going ahead as planned due to a double booking on the room. I?m trying to arrange and alternative and I?ll let ye know what is happening as soon as I can. In the mean time keep checking out http://games.redbrick.dcu.ie for more up to date info. We've also added Halo 2 and Worms World Party to our current line up of games so come along if you want to try out these great new games! ::[Overnight Lans & BYOPC]:: We're still working on our Bring Your Own PC event for December and we'll let everyone know as soon as a date is set. BYOPC is a fantastic overnight gaming event that everyone should try. Those of you who were at the BYOPC in Summer will know how much fun they can be, and next time we should be able to supply monitors for those who require them to save some hassle. ::[ Games Talk ]:: We're finally putting the finishing touches to next semesters Game Talks, we'll be having representitives from the likes of Havok, Torc Interactive, TKO and Pro Audio to give you information on what they do and the best ways to get into the games industry.

[Announce-gamesoc] Counter-Strike Selection Match

by simon.kilroy2＠mail.dcu.ie

Hey folks, As some of you may already know CSD have challenged us to a game of Counter-Strike to celebrate the beginning of our Lab Gaming this year. And so this THURSDAY at 7pm in C206 in the Henry Gratten Building we'll be having a Tournament to select our 5 man team to go up against CSD. The tournament will run as follows... There will be a number of 5 man teams randomly selected who will face off against each other. The top players from these matches will then progress and new teams will be selected. At the end of this process we will have chosen our 5 man DCU team. While the games are being played people will be able to either watch the game being played on the projector or play any of the other games on the machines, hence you guys wont be sitting around doing nothing... For those who don't want to enter the tournament there will still be the regular selection of games available for play during the night... It promises to be a great evening so we'd encourage you all to make an appearance... Hope to see you all there, The Games Soc Committee

[Announce-gamesoc] Lab Gaming

by John Doyle

Hey ya, Just to let you know that there is NO lab gaming tonight! This is because the lab is already booked for a photoshop tutorial between ourselves and Redbrick. Come along if your interested in learning how to make great looking posters etc. Lab Gaming will be going regularly from next week onwards! Cheers, John -- [23:17 06/April/2004 #lobby] <Yossarian> Hrm, if I'm not winning 'sweetest ass' - and my ass is winning for being hairy in 'best hair' - then logic would dictate that drusilla has one hell of a hairy arse. *ponders*
