Hey All,
Tomorrow is the big Christmas BYOPC LAN! If you haven't already done so you should sign up at http://www.byopc.dcu.ie
The LAN is taking place in the Blue Room of the Helix, to get there enter the Helix through the Stage Door. If you don't know where that is, follow this map, http://games.dcu.ie/campus.gif We'll have committee members on hand to help you bring up your gear, and there will also be signs directing you to the Blue Room, and if all else fails ask at the stage door and they'll happily direct you up to us.
There will be several Tournaments throughout the night, including StarCraft 2, Counter Strike: Source, and Call of Duty 4. There'll be prizes for winners and runners up!
If it happens that your PC isn't powerful enough to run something like Left for Dead 2, fear not, as we will be setting up consoles and traditional games, so you have no excuse not to come, we will keep you occupied and stave off boredom.
You may need the following items with you:
- Your PC
- cat5 (ethernet) cable
- Power Extension Cable
- €10 entry fee
- Food!

Alright everyone, it's that time of year again! Christmas is just
around the corner and that of course means it's time for our Christmas
BYOPC LAN! The LAN will
be taking place in 2 weeks from the 17th to the 18th of December. It
will start at 12pm on Saturday and run until 12pm on Sunday. To sign up
go to the link below
and follow the instructions

What is a BYOPC LAN I hear some of you asking? It's a 24 hour event
where you Bring Your Own Pc to the Helix and we play games for 24 hours!
Why? Becuase it's
fun! The BYOPC LAN is an event we run once a semester with between 3
and 4 tournaments and prizes for the winners of each! At a cost of only
€10 it's very much
worth it.
Just like the previous LAN it will be taking place in the Helix. [WHERE
IN THE HELIX?] Committee members will be on hand to help you bring your
pc and equipment
up from the entrance, which is through the Stage Door in the helix. In
case you don't know where the Stage Door is in the Helix, here is a map
showing the
entrance.

Keep an eye on the weekly announce email and the website as we'll be
announcing which tournaments are going to be held, once the decision has
been made. There
will of course be some very interesting prizes for these tournaments,
so get practicing in order to get your hands on them.
Here's a list of things to bring:
- Your PC
- cat5 (ethernet) cable
- Power Extension Cable
- €10 entry fee
- Food!
If it happens that your PC isn't powerful enough to run something like
Left for Dead 2, fear not, as we will be setting up consoles and
traditional games, so you
have no excuse not to come, we will keep you occupied and stave off
boredom.
And last but not least, since it's Christmas, Santa hats, costumes,
lights, etc are encouraged and approved of!

association with several other societies, such as RedBrick and
Paranormal. It starts at 8 in the Slipper, if you don't know where that
is, a group of us will be heading over at about quarter to 8 so if you
wish, you can meet us in the Hub before we go over.
Of course, as the Christmas party is on Thursday, there will be no lab
gaming this week, sorry.

That's right! The Christmas LAN is a coming, and so pack up your rig
and bring it in for a veritable cornucopia of gaming! There will be a

Hoodies are being ordered on Monday so if you wish to order one this is
your last chance
That's it for this week, but don't forget that the C&S ball is on
tuesday, it should be a great evening.
See you at the events and the Christmas Party!
