- Game-On Trip -
Right then this Tuesday the 19th of October at 6pm we'll be meeting in the
hub to go to the Game-On Exhibition in the Ambassador. Thanks to a sudden
special offer the tickets will now be €5 per hour per person. It'll be a
great trip back in time teaching you all about the history of video games.
If you'd like to be put down on the list just send a email to
games(a)redbrick.dcu.ie and we'll put you down on the list.
- Console Gaming -
Sadly due to the Old Bar being renovated into a store Console Gaming will
not be held there anymore. But worry not console gamers! We have moved
just across from the old bar into the venue.So come along at 2pm in the
top of the venue for some more tasty games.
- Traditional and Tabletop Gaming -
Continuing the October RPG Extravanganza this week at Wednesday Stuart
will be holding another game of Pathfinder for all you beginners to
experience this crunchy slice of T&T gaming. Traditional and Tabletop
gaming will be held as usual in C165 in the Henry Gratten building at 6pm.
- Lab Gaming -
the PCs in C204 will be imaged this Monday. If lab gaming will go on this
Thursday is unsure because imaging takes a while to kick in since we have
a lot of games to install on the machines. I will keep you updated on the
status during the week and yet again we are sorry for the delay.
So there's the round up for this week.
We hope to see you at events this week.
Yours Deliciously
