[Announce-gamesoc] Week 7: Birthday Lan | AOE2 | Paul Bunbury

by gamessoc

Hey all, before I get into the rest of the announce, I have some bad news. Paul Bunbury, the member of gamessoc who went missing just over six weeks ago, was found dead last Tuesday. He was a lovely man and although not a regular fixture at our events was widely liked by everyone he met in gamessoc. The funeral arrangements are available from http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=usfSwZwv and DCU will be providing travel to the funeral if anyone wishes to attend. Our thoughts are with his family and friends at this sad time. May he rest in peace. This weeks events are scheduled as follows: - Console Gaming | Wednesday 2-6pm | X101, Science Building - Traditional Gaming | Wednesday 6-10pm | C166, Henry Grattan Building - Lab Gaming | Thursday 6-10pm | C204, Henry Grattan Building - Age of Empires Tournament | Thursday 6-10pm | C204, Henry Grattan Building As today is a Bank Holiday there will be no Monday night Trad gaming this week. Age Of Empires Tournament Because last weeks dose of war and strategems wasn't enough, this Thursday we're getting retro and firing up an old gem with an Age of Empires 2 tournament. Entry will be €2, with prizes for the winners. Signups will be taken from 6 and the tournament will start at 7. Birthday Lan Gamessoc is turning 10! And we'll be celebrating with a LAN! What's so different about this one? Well first off, it'll run for 30 hours. Second, we'll be having retro tournaments, playing the games that gamessoc members played 10 years ago. Isn't that neat? The date is tentatively set for the 7/8th of April so keep watching this space for more info. Minecraft Server The current gamessoc minecraft server will be moved to another port around the time of the birthday LAN in order to start a new server with the latest version of the game, so soon we will be able to rebuild, huddle, and hide from the Endermen together. Catch y'all later. Craig Gavagan MacEntee DCU Games Soc http://games.dcu.ie

There are limited spaces remaining and we need you to signup on our website if you're going as signups will be unavailable after 6pm today. The signup link is at http://games.dcu.ie/#event16.

[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
