[Announce-gamesoc] Week 7: Killing Floor Tournament, Mega 64 version 3 and food

by DCU Games Soc

Hey folks, Apologies for the late announce I had to escape from Jonathan Liebesman's basement after saying that Battle: LA was one of the biggest shits a director could have taken on a film since Avatar. He then preceded to beat me with a bat and stuffed me in his car. I don't remember much after that. Here's the lineup for this week: - Killing Floor Tournament - Mega 64 Version 3 - Traditional Gaming - Console Gaming - Killing Floor Tournament - This Thursday at 6pm in C204 we'll be holding a Killing Floor Tournament. It'll be 5 per team and the team who survives the most waves wins glorious prizes. As always there's plenty of other games if you don't want to take part in the tournament. Of course you'd be a little bitch if you didn't compete. Refreshments for all. - Mega 64 Version 3 - On Tuesday 6pm in CG01 we're watching the first half of Mega 64 version 3. Will Sean find out more about the mysterious FALZ?, Is Marcus actually alive or is that just horrible sowing? And what the fuck was that thing that attacked Dr Poque? Find out all this and more in Mega 64 Version 3. Candy for all. - Traditional Gaming - On Monday and Wednesday at 6pm in room C165 we're playing brand new games like Fluxx: Zombies and Back to the Future! Johnson and Jiggy will be there to serenade you all by singing Huey Lewis' classic "The Power of Love". There will be munchies for all. - Console Gaming - Wednesday 2pm in the Old Bar and we will be playing Donkey Kong, Call of Duty and more. Unfortunately, I wont be there to show you all just how much you suck at Mario Kart DS. Now stop crying, I know I'm amazing and that you all simply come to bask in my glory but fret not, I will be back the following week to grace you with my presence. Edible objects for all. That's all this week! Now excuse me for I must return to coding ball busting projects. Yours Deliciously, Sir Saint John Oisin Christopher Kelly Preston Esquire, Secretary DCU Games Society

Here's the rundown: - Movie Night: Mega 64 version 2 - Traditional Gaming - Console Gaming - Lab Gaming - 3DS Trip - Movie Night: Mega 64 version 2 - Since Mega 64 was such a hit last week (along with the pancakes) we'll be showing version 2 of Mega 64.

We now have Kinect along with brand new Rock Band 3, Little Big Planet 2 and much more. - Lab Gaming - Cancelled this week due to Paddy's Day. We'll drink in it's honor. - 3DS Trip - Hopefully you wont be too hungover after Paddy's day to check out the 3DS. We'll be meeting this Friday at 2pm in the Hub and heading into town to check out the 3DS and see if it's the future of gaming or just another Virtual Boy. *warning, the 3DS may cause dizziness, eye fatigue, vomiting and loss of sex drive* That's it for this week hope you have a great St Patrick's Day and a easy to manage hangover after.
