[Announce-gamesoc] Brawl Tournament Room Change | EGM Next Week

by gamessoc

Hey folks, Just a quick email to correct a room mistake on the weekly announce. The Brawl Tournament (and console gaming) is in room X101. That's just upstairs above XG14. We'll be having an EGM on Wednesday 7th March at 3pm in X101. This will be to vote on a new Extraordinary Member to act as a strong voice for our membership. This shouldn't take up much time from consoles and we'll order pizza for right after the EGM ends. That's all for now! Yours Deliciously, Jon St John Oisin Kelly DCU Games Soc

[Announce-gamesoc] Week 4: Resignation | Brawl Tourney | Console LAN | Itzacon

by gamessoc

Hey all, First I want to congratulate Conor Lynch and Meabh Landers on coming in second place in Dublin Gamecraft yesterday. The theme for each of the teams was Dinosaur Angst and Anstysaurus was a rather impressive submission. Their game can be downloaded at http://redbrick.dcu.ie/~conorl/angsty.zip. Gamessoc also entered a team of three and aided by an extra UCD developer, we based our game on a python version of super mario and reskinned it in an hour after our other attempts at using the engine failed. A video of the submission can be found at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XUO0pa49pq4 and a download and instructions link will be added soon. Events this week - Traditional Gaming | Monday 6-10pm | C167, Henry Grattan Building - Brawl Tournament | Wednesday 2-6pm | XG14, Science Building - Traditional Gaming | Wednesday 6-10pm | C166, Henry Grattan Building - Lab Gaming | Thursday 6-10pm | C204, Henry Grattan Building Console LAN So, the Console LAN will be running on the 10th and 11th of March, in Xtreme Gamer, and it will cost €10 per person. If you are interested in going, give a committee member a shout. Itzacon Itzacon is upon us once more! Itzacon is a tabletop and wargaming con held in Galway, and is being held on the 10th and 11th of March. It should cost apporximately the same as warpcon so if you're interested in going, just drop us an email. Committee Position Available Our extraordinary member George has stepped down, we thank him for his work and wish him the best. We're looking for someone to take this position, so if you're interested then run for the position! If you're interested but don't know what an extraordinary member does, they're basically the voice of all the members and bring their concerns to the committee and also help other committee members with their tasks when required. See y'all later, Craig Gavagan Mac Entee DCU Games Soc http://games.dcu.ie
