-- We had it last week and we will have it again this week, the lab of PCs and several steam accounts are here for all of you to play and dive in! PC Gaming shall be on Tuesdays and Thursdays in C214 from 6pm-10pm. --
-- Thank you to everyone who came down and participated in the Mario Strikers Charged! tournament! We shall be returning to normal this week with our regular content of TV's, games and laughs. You can find Console Gaming with all of it's Tv's, consoles and games on Wednesdays from 2-5pm in XG01. --
-- Remember when I mentioned Q-Con back in week 2? Well we are now taking names for those wishing to go! We can send up to 30 people and until the registration goes up we won't know exactly how much it will cost but expect it to be around 60 for the trip which will include:
-Bus transport from DCU to the convention and back -A weekend Con ticket -The weekend's stay in Queens College accommodation (elms village)
* If you want to attend Q-Con with us make sure to email us your name and your student number saying you want to attend. *
And for those who joined after we initially talked about Q-Con or missed the email here is a quick description about the trip itself:
Q-Con is a big anime and gaming convention held in Belfast every year that we as Gamessoc attend for the weekend and have a great time! This is one of the biggest events we hold each year and it's definitely something not to be missed! Between entering game tournaments(Video, Trad and Card), watching anime screening, attending panels and talks from guests, achieving victory at the pub quiz, seeing all the great cosplay and having a laugh with friends in a once off pen and paper RPG there is something for everyone! Then once you have had your fill at the con you retire to the Queens College accommodation (elms village) where we will be staying for the weekend to eat junk food, play games, have some drink and possibly play Ninja into the wee hours of the morning all to do it again the next day!
If you have any questions about the trip or the convention itself don'y hesitate to ask us on Facebook, in person or email us here! --
That's all for this week and I will see you in the next!
