by gamessoc

Hey everyone, I'd best start off by introducing myself, I'm Craig Gavagan Mac Entee and I'm your newly elected Secretary! [Insert generic slutty secretary joke here]. Now that that's out of the way, I've got some amazing things to tell you!

But first I have to tell you about the EGM! The EGM was held at Traditional Gaming on Wednesday, to elect a Secretary and a PRO. Nominations were given, speeches spoken, questions answered, hands raised and Claire Whitehead and myself were elected as your new PRO and Secretary respectively. We both hope to be able to serve the membership of gamessoc to the best of our abilities this year. - Movie Night | Tuesday 6pm | C104 In order to get you geared up for the big tournament on Wednesday we'll be showing the first Mortal Kombat film in C104 at 6pm. We may have to change the location on the night, but we will make sure to let you know of any changes. - Mortal Kombat Tournament @ Console Gaming | Wednesday 2-6pm | The Hub, Old Bar This week we'll be running a Mortal Kombat tournament at Console Gaming. Entry will be €2 per person with cool prizes for the winner and runner up. Of course if Mortal Kombat isn't your thing, we'll still have the rest of the consoles set up as always. - Traditional Gaming | Wednesday 6-10pm | Science Building, XG14 As it is Halloween this Monday, Traditional Gaming won't be on, but never fear! We'll still have it on Wednesday, and we'll play all your favourites, from Bang and Pit to Family Business. As always, if there's anything you'd like to play, feel free to reply and tell us what you'd like to play. The list of games we have is at http://boardgamegeek.com/collection/user/DCUgamessoc but feel free to bring in anything we don't have if you want to play it. - PC Gaming | Thursday 6-10pm | Henry Grattan Building, C204 It has returned, glorious as ever! Come on back to the cozy confines of C204 and revel in the likes of Counter Strike, Team Fortress 2, Left For Dead and many other PC Gaming regulars. - 40k Tournament Our Warhammer 40K tournament will be starting soon so dust off your models and terrain and let us settle our problems like real men, with lesser men that will do the dying for us. If you don't have an army and still want to take part gamessoc has a spare army for you to use. If you'd just like to learn the game, come to traditional gaming and we'll be happy to give you a crash course. - Dominicon Dominicon is starting on the 11th of November this year in NUIM. Gamessoc are organising a group to go, so let us know if you're interested in going. More info is at http://www.dominicon.info and we'll have pricing info next week. Right, I think that's everything so if you'll excuse me, I have to go finish my renegade Mass Effect run. So I'll see you next week, in the meantime if you have any questions do feel free to email.
