[Announce-gamessoc] Week 9 - From the desk of the chair

by gamessoc＠redbrick.dcu.ie

Hey everyone, this week your announce email is brought to you from your beloved chair Rob! On the agenda for this weeks email we got Trad Gaming Console Gaming Discord Server **Trad Gaming is on this Monday, 6-10, and Wednesday, 5-10. Our games were on holiday to Eirtakon over the weekend so we will have a full refresh and bring up many games we havent had in the past few weeks from the basement. I'm sure if we all work hard enough we can scrub the smell of weeaboo off them! **Console gaming is on this Wednesday from 2 5, so come along to that and stick around for trad gaming afterwords. So if sitting in the corner yelling at people while playing smash brothers is your thing come along! Otherwise the quiet crowd are off playing different games, can you imagine? Console gaming will also need a strong weeaboo scrub, especially to get all the salt from Eirtakons tournaments off them. ** Discord A couple weeks ago I set up a discord server and havent shut up about it since, it's a chat-room with a built in teamspeak, So if everyone could hop on and join it using this link https://discordapp.com/invite/0cmmZp3X3eu4xZX6 I'm sure once we get more of you on we can all play League, TTT and Minecraft together again! We also have a facebook page https://www.facebook.com/pages/DCU-Gamessoc/165346350341426 But the group is better! https://www.facebook.com/groups/107549179282938 Rob McGrane Your Chair 2015 - whenever
