Hey everyone!
Hold me now... Sorry about how late this email is going out!
Here's what's going on with GamesSoc:
- Trad Gaming
- Console Gaming
- PC Gaming
- King of GamesSoc
- Qcon
- - Trad Gaming - -
Trad gaming will be as always on twice this week, on both Monday and
Wednesday from 6pm to 10pm in XG01! If you really want to go to the
Monday session, I'd advise hopping into that time machine of yours!
Come along to play some games and relax. We'll also be running
trad sessions during the summer as well, so if you're in Dublin you
can still get your games related fix!
- - Console Gaming - -
Console gaming is running from 2pm to 6pm in XG14 this week! Come
along to get some button mashing therapy from those assignments and
exams. We'll have the regular consoles out with all of the favourites.
- - PC Gaming - -
PC Gaming is on this week on Tuesday and Thursday from 6pm to 10pm. On
Thursday we’ll be holding the last tournament of the year, so come
along to play Hearthstone against your fellow members. Sign ups start
at 6pm, and cost two euro per head. Tournament will start at 7pm! Come
along to play other games either, if you want, I guess.
- - King of GamesSoc - -
We held our King of GamesSoc event last week in order to crown this
year’s king. After some stiff competition on the day, we are proud to
announce Cormac Clare (Guy Sensei) as this year’s King of GamesSoc.
Well done Cormac!
- - Qcon - -
Ermahgerd QuerCern! Qcon will be on in QUB from the 20th to the 24th
of June, and we're going! It'll be twenty three euro without travel
for two nights, or forty seven for three nights - we'll hopefully be
organising a bus up and back which will be a little extra. For our
associate members it will be sixty six euro for two nights, or ninety
for the three nights, excluding travel also. We're taking names for
our group bookings now, so reply to this email if you're interested in
attending as we only have ten places still available! We're also
taking deposits for those already on the list, you must get twenty
euro to either Freddie or Kilian before the 23rd of May.
That's all for this week, good luck in exams!

- Annual Table Quiz
- Qcon
- - PC Gaming - -
PC Gaming is on this week on Tuesday from 6pm to 10pm. It's the only
regularly scheduled event still running as normal this week, thanks to
all of our other events and the bank holiday! Come along to play
games, or laugh at Rob, our incoming PC Events Officer.
- - King of GamesSoc Closing Event - -
We will be holding our closing event on Wednesday from 2pm to 8pm in
the Old Bar. This of course is your last chance to try to claim the
crown as your own for this year! Currently the top of the leaderboard
stands as follows:
1. Guy Sensei (Cormac) and skirmisher (Daire) with 7 trophies
3. esports (Evin) with 5 trophies
We're going to hold trad and console tournaments, as well as having
random trophy drops in order to keep the end result all up in the air.
If enough people bring their laptops, we'll also run some PC
tournaments! A ridiculous amount of pizza will be provided on the
night, and we'll finally know who wins the crown. So who's going to be
your king this year?
- - Annual Table Quiz - -
We'll be holding it on the Thursday from 7pm onwards. Be sure to get
down to the NuBar early to grab a seat. It's three euro per head, or

prizes!

2nd Prize: Assortment of Trad Games
3rd Prize: Sweets
We'll also have a raffle running on the night, which means you can win
a N64 with two controllers, Doom 64 and GoldenEye 007. Tickets will be
one euro each, or a strip of five for three euro. See you there!
- - Qcon - -
Ermahgerd Quer Cern! Qcon will be on in QUB from the 20th to the 24th
of June, and we're going! It'll be twenty three euro without travel
for two nights, or fourty seven for three nights - we'll hopefully be

Hey everyone!
Gah, where did semester two go?! Despite the time travelling wizardry
that means the semester is nearly over, we have buckets of events and
things to do.
Here's what is happening in GamesSoc:
- Trad Gaming
- Console Gaming: Soul Calibur Tournament

- Minecraft Server Whitelist

- - Trad Gaming - -
Trad gaming will be as always on twice this week, on both Monday and
Wednesday from 6pm to 10pm in XG01! One of our trad officers, Fionn,
will hopefully be running a game of Fiasco during Monday's session
also, so if you're interested in roleplay be sure to tag along! If
not, tag along anyway?
- - Console Gaming - -
This week Console gaming is in XG14 from 2pm to 6pm, and they're
holding a tournament in one of the best games ever, Soul Calibur.
Entry fee is two euro as always, and we'll be taking sign ups until
the tournament starts at 3pm. You think I could lose to the likes of
you? If you don't feel like playing it (apparently that's a thing) we
will have the usual other consoles and games there too.
- - PC Gaming - -
PC gaming will be on in C204 on both Tuesday and Thursday from 6pm to
10pm. Come along to mash a keyboard to the game of your choice, such
as Civ 5, Typing of the Dead, AoE2, and many more!
- - Minecraft Server Whitelist - -
Due to repeated issues with griefing and looting on the Minecraft
server, a whitelist has been set up. In order to join the whitelist,
you must be a paid member of GamesSoc and must request to be added.
Want to get in on it? Email us, or talk directly to our PC Events
Officers Rob or Padraig.

but we'll tell you more about that in next weeks announce...
- - King of GamesSoc Closing Event - -
So after a year of giving out trophies and all of that, we must crown
our king! So of course, we're going to do it in style. During week
eleven we will be holding this on Wednesday (23rd of April) from 2pm
to 8pm in the Old Bar. This of course is a good chance to scope out a
team for our quiz the following day, and try to knock people off the
top of the leaderboard. Currently the leaderboard stands as follows:
1. Guy Sensei (Cormac) and skirmisher (Daire) with 7 trophies
3. esports (Evin) with 5 trophies
4. Zedheaded (Ed) with 4 trophies
We're going to hold trad and console tournaments, as well as having
random trophy drops in order to keep the end result all up in the air.
If enough people bring their laptops, we'll also run some PC
tournaments! Pizza will be provided on the night, and we'll finally
know who wins the crown!
That's all for this week!
