Hey Folks, As you may or may not know this week is Arts Week and GamesSoc are getting artsy! This Wednesday in the seminar room at 2pm GameSoc will be providing the gaming entertainment at the Arts Week carnival, in the form of our Retro Gaming event and we'll also be showing off our artistic side with our Pixel Art display. -Retro Gaming- What's Retro Gaming?! Retro gaming is a trip down memory lane with GamesSoc as we setup all your favourite consoles of years gone by such as the NES, Super Nintendo (SNES), Sega Mega Drive, Atari, N64, Dreamcast, PSOne and lots more! We encourage people to bring along any old retro games or consoles they may own themselves and we'll be providing lots of free refreshments throughout! So make sure you come along and revisit some gaming history this Wednesday at 2pm, in The Seminar Room. -Pixel Art- Our Pixel Art will be on display throughout the hub on Wednesday afternoon also. Pixel Art ties in with retro gaming and is GamesSocs attempt at recreating some of the iconic characters of gaming in all their 8 and 16-bit pixelized glory! How are we going to do this? Well you'll have to just turn up to the hub and see for yourselves! Keep an eye out for them at the Arts Week carnival on Wednesday afternoon from 2pm.

[Announce-gamesoc] BYOPC LAN CANCELLED

by DCU Games Soc

Hi all, Unfortunately we have to announce that the BYOPC LAN scheduled to take place this weekend has been cancelled. We apologise for giving such late notice of the cancellation but we have literally been working up to this very minute attempting to resolve the situation. The reason for the cancellation is apparently that there has been a lack of communication between the DCU Estates Office and DCU Security. It's probably best not to delve into specific details of what caused the issue here, but we can assure you that up until this morning we were 100% certain that the LAN would go ahead and had been given guarantees from the Estates Office that this was the case. We've ran LANs on campus for several years now and we would not have announced it and opened up signups unless we were completely certain that the event would go ahead. We have been screwed over. Once again we'd like to apologise for the cancellation and the late notice given. We hope to schedule another event of this nature in Semester 2 to make up for this one. Regards, Kev PRO, DCU Games Society

[Announce-gamesoc] Warpcon Signup

by gamessoc＠redbrick.dcu.ie

Hey guys, Warpcon is the annual gaming convention held in UCC (University College Cork), to which Stocs/GamesSoc have made annual trips. It is awesome. You should all go. It is being held on the 23rd-25th of January. Gamessoc will be subsidising accomodation, hopefully it wont cost ye anything, but not more than a fiver a head. Entry for the entire weekend will be covered, and if you keep your bus reciepts you will get a portion of them back. Warpcon is one of the largest cons in the country, and I would encourage you all to come and drink/game with us. As accomodation is snapped up fairly quickly, the last day for putting your name down under Games Soc is the 1st of December. Due to issues we have had with other conventions, and due to the relatively high cost to Games Soc, I will require a deposit of €20 which will be returned on the friday of the convention. As UCC have rather inconsiderately organised this event in the last weekend of our exam period, anyone who pays a deposit and then finds that they have exams in the period of Friday 23rd-30th of Jan (The end of the exam period) will have their deposit refunded.Also, as some associate members have outstanding debts to the society, Games Soc will not be booking places or organising tickets for any associate until the funds are repayed in full. Please post on the thread in the forums or email me at dennis.mccartney25 at mail.dcu.ie if you are want to go. If you require information about the con, visit www.warpcon.com Regards, Dennis Mc Cartney Games Soc Trips Officer
