Hey everyone!
Waka waka waka waka waka waka... (Or do a Shakira on it, I'm torn to be honest.)
Here's what is happening this week!
- Console Gaming - Trad Gaming - Game Development Meetup - Humans Vs Zombies - King of GamesSoc - Retro Gaming
- - Console Gaming - - Consoles gaming will be on as always this week from 1pm to 5pm on Wednesday is XG16. We'll have the normal consoles set up, so you can go and play games and stuff. (Can you tell I don't go to consoles?)
- - Trad Gaming - - We will have traditional and tabletop training running only on Wednesday this week from 5pm to 10pm. The bank holiday swallowed Monday's session - but a three day weekend was worth it, right? Come along and play an assortment of games, like Bang, Family Business and all that jazz.
- - Game Development Meetup - - Last weeks meetup went well, so we'll be meeting up again this Tuesday (tomorrow) from 6pm onwards again. Even if you missed last week's meetup you can still come along this week! Room will be confirmed tomorrow once bookings get back to us.
- - Humans Vs Zombies - - Humans Vs Zombies will be returning to campus this year! Get your socks and nerf guns ready to fight the zombie plague. We'll be holding it as a weeklong event during week 8, and will set up the website for signups over the coming week. For our new members, Human Vs Zombies is a campus wide game that begins with some Original Zombies, who then infect humans. Zombies must feed, or they will starve, and humans must try to stay alive. Have a look at the rules here http://games.dcu.ie/hvz/rules.php
- - King of GamesSoc - - King of GamesSoc is returning this year! For the new members, this is a competition for members of the society to fight out for the place of king. You win trophies by winning tournaments, as well as participating in random quests. Last year we crowned Cormac Clare as our king, however Evin McMahon claimed the first trophy by winning the first tournament. Who will be your king this year?
- - Retro Gaming - - Retro gaming returns as well as everything else this year. We'll be setting up in the NuBar on Thursday evening with the televisions and some retro gaming consoles and running tournaments. Tournaments will depend on what hardware we can get our hands on, however we hope to hold a Crash Team Racing, Golden Axe duel mode, and Super Mario Bros battle mode tournaments. Come along to try and win some drinks vouchers, we'll be there from 6pm onwards down on the dance floor! We'll also be holding a Pacman tournament. Waka waka waka...
