Forgot something (again).
At the AGM it was requested that we organise an additional Lab Gaming
session on Tuesdays as some people felt they hadn't got enough time to play
all the games they wanted.
To this end, we have organised a second Lab Gaming session this week, in
C204 from 6PM-10PM. As this is the final week of semester, we have decided
to use this session as a trial run, to see if running two lab gaming events
during the week would be viable. If the event is a success, we may
implement a second lab gaming session permanently from next year onwards.
So yeah. That's happening...

Mark Gorman

We're going to be holding a 48 Hour LAN after exams from
31st May to 2nd June, 12PM-12PM. It's going to be held in
the Venue in the Hub. We'll have a high-speed network set
up for you guys to use, so all you'd have to do is bring
your own PC/Laptop and you can have some serious fun
playing games for 48 hours! Or if you're more of a console
gamer (or have an embarrassing PC), bring that along either!
We'll be running tournaments throughout the day as well on
both consoles and PC, so make sure to bring your A-game!
Keep an eye on our facebook page for news about tournament polls.
What you guys play at the LAN is upto you!
The sign-ups for the LAN is here: http://games.dcu.ie/index.php#event23

The cost for the LAN will be 15 euro which includes entry to all
tournaments
(if you want to enter). A 5 euro deposit will be required
if you wish to come, payable before the end of the semester.
Also note that if attendance falls short, we will
unfortunately have to charge slightly more per person
than we had originally planned as follows:
50 People - 15
40+ - 20
30+ - 25
20+ - 30
We realise this charge is quite steep, so its all the more reason
to try drag your friends along!
