Hey everyone!
Gah, where did semester two go?! Despite the time travelling wizardry that means the semester is nearly over, we have buckets of events and things to do.
Here's what is happening in GamesSoc: - Trad Gaming - Console Gaming: Soul Calibur Tournament - PC Gaming - Minecraft Server Whitelist - Annual Table Quiz - King of GamesSoc Closing Event
- - Trad Gaming - - Trad gaming will be as always on twice this week, on both Monday and Wednesday from 6pm to 10pm in XG01! One of our trad officers, Fionn, will hopefully be running a game of Fiasco during Monday's session also, so if you're interested in roleplay be sure to tag along! If not, tag along anyway?
- - Console Gaming - - This week Console gaming is in XG14 from 2pm to 6pm, and they're holding a tournament in one of the best games ever, Soul Calibur. Entry fee is two euro as always, and we'll be taking sign ups until the tournament starts at 3pm. You think I could lose to the likes of you? If you don't feel like playing it (apparently that's a thing) we will have the usual other consoles and games there too.
- - PC Gaming - - PC gaming will be on in C204 on both Tuesday and Thursday from 6pm to 10pm. Come along to mash a keyboard to the game of your choice, such as Civ 5, Typing of the Dead, AoE2, and many more!
- - Minecraft Server Whitelist - - Due to repeated issues with griefing and looting on the Minecraft server, a whitelist has been set up. In order to join the whitelist, you must be a paid member of GamesSoc and must request to be added. Want to get in on it? Email us, or talk directly to our PC Events Officers Rob or Padraig.
- - Annual Table Quiz - - QUIZ QUIZ QUIZ QUIZ! Ahem. I mean, during week eleven we will be holding our annual table quiz! We'll be holding it on the Thursday (24th of April) from 7pm onwards. Be sure to get down to the NuBar early to grab a seat. It's three euro per head, or twelve euro for a team, and you have a chance to win some fabulous prizes! 1st Prize: Assortment of Games (PS3, Xbox 360, PC and Wii) 2nd Prize: Assortment of Trad Games 3rd Prize: Sweets We'll also have a raffle running on the night, with an awesome prize, but we'll tell you more about that in next weeks announce...
- - King of GamesSoc Closing Event - - So after a year of giving out trophies and all of that, we must crown our king! So of course, we're going to do it in style. During week eleven we will be holding this on Wednesday (23rd of April) from 2pm to 8pm in the Old Bar. This of course is a good chance to scope out a team for our quiz the following day, and try to knock people off the top of the leaderboard. Currently the leaderboard stands as follows: 1. Guy Sensei (Cormac) and skirmisher (Daire) with 7 trophies 3. esports (Evin) with 5 trophies 4. Zedheaded (Ed) with 4 trophies We're going to hold trad and console tournaments, as well as having random trophy drops in order to keep the end result all up in the air. If enough people bring their laptops, we'll also run some PC tournaments! Pizza will be provided on the night, and we'll finally know who wins the crown!
That's all for this week!
