The Wii, 360, PS3 and Guitar Hero will all be setup, oh and we'll have lots of free refreshments too. - Lab Gaming - Yes we're all very very tired after the 24 hour LAN...but you should all be rested up by now, and ready for some pc gaming! Lab Gaming will be on @ 6pm, Thursday in C204 in the Henry Grattan Building. - Christmas Party - Also on Thursday is the GamesSoc, Redbrick & Drama Christmas Party. Things kick off @ 8pm across the road in the Slipper (Matt Weldons Pub). A large group will be heading over after lab gaming so turn up to that and then relax afterwards at the party. GamesSoc will be providing entertainment in the form of consoles setup for everyone to play. There will be free mince pies and mulled wine too! - LAN - 24 hours later... much fun was had by all, and we had a great turnout. We gamed long and hard into the night and held tournaments in UT3, CS:S and Worms. The winner of UT3 was Barballs, who took the win in a heated final. CS:S was won by a team consisting of undone, revenant, coconut and joe5ie, in what turned out to be a very close tournament. The winner of our mystery game, which was Worms!, was terroteck. Congratulations to all the winners! So we have a great week ahead as we come close to the end of the semester. Just a quick thanks to everyone who turned up for the LAN and made it a kickass event! Hope to see you all next semester for a bigger & better BYOPC 8. Robby Secretary, DCU GamesSoc http://games.dcu.ie
