Only 2 days to go until our Christmas BYOPC LAN! This is just a little email with full details on what's happening, how to get there and what to bring. BYOPC, for those who dont know, stands for Bring Your Own PC. Now dont worry if you dont have a high spec PC, because we'll be playing lots of older games that run on dishwashers. We'll also be setting up the consoles and running a RPG so there will be a little bit of everything for everyone. The schedule for Tournaments is as follows: 16:00 - 18:00 L4D2 18:00 - 20:00 RPG 20:00 - 22:00 TF2 00:00 - 02:00 AoEII 03:00 - 04:00 Worms There will be lots of festive prizes for the winners and plenty of sweets for all who come along! It'll be taking place in the Helix. This time, however, it will be taking place in the Blue Room on the second floor. The entrance is via the stage door in the Helix. You'll have to enter via the stage door and then head up the elevator. From there we'll have signs leading to the blue room. There is a small set of stairs on the way to the room but committee members will be there to help you bring up your PC and your equipment. In case you don't know where the stage door is, here's a map showing the entrance. http://www.redbrick.dcu.ie/~paraflux/gs/campus.gif Here's a list of things to bring: - Your PC - cat5 Ethernet cable (Biggest one you have) - Power extension cable - €10 Entry fee - Food! Of course what would any Christmas be without decorations, so expect christmas trees, lights and other flammable objects. With all that you'd be a fool not to sign up right now! So go, now to http://www.byopc.dcu.ie/index.php and sign up for the best Christmas ever! We'll see you all there, or else!
