Alright everyone, it's that time of year again! Christmas is just around the corner and that of course means it's time for our Christmas BYOPC LAN! The LAN will be taking place in 2 weeks from the 17th to the 18th of December. It will start at 12pm on Saturday and run until 12pm on Sunday. To sign up go to the link below and follow the instructions http://www.byopc.dcu.ie
What is a BYOPC LAN I hear some of you asking? It's a 24 hour event where you Bring Your Own Pc to the Helix and we play games for 24 hours! Why? Becuase it's fun! The BYOPC LAN is an event we run once a semester with between 3 and 4 tournaments and prizes for the winners of each! At a cost of only €10 it's very much worth it.
Just like the previous LAN it will be taking place in the Helix. [WHERE IN THE HELIX?] Committee members will be on hand to help you bring your pc and equipment up from the entrance, which is through the Stage Door in the helix. In case you don't know where the Stage Door is in the Helix, here is a map showing the entrance. http://games.dcu.ie/campus.gif
Keep an eye on the weekly announce email and the website as we'll be announcing which tournaments are going to be held, once the decision has been made. There will of course be some very interesting prizes for these tournaments, so get practicing in order to get your hands on them.
Here's a list of things to bring: - Your PC - cat5 (ethernet) cable - Power Extension Cable - €10 entry fee - Food!
If it happens that your PC isn't powerful enough to run something like Left for Dead 2, fear not, as we will be setting up consoles and traditional games, so you have no excuse not to come, we will keep you occupied and stave off boredom.
And last but not least, since it's Christmas, Santa hats, costumes, lights, etc are encouraged and approved of!
