Evenin' folks,
Registration is now open for InterLAN 3.0! Taking place in the Hub in DCU, and aimed at both console and PC gamers, this is going to be our biggest event of the year. InterLAN, as you may have guessed from the name, is an Intervarsity LAN gaming event, which basically means that people from every college in Ireland can come together to play games and find out which college is the best (it's DCU). DCU won several competitions at the last one, so we'll be hoping to repeat that success now that it's taking place on our own turf. We'll also have the Xbox Live Centre out with lots of flatscreen TV's and Xbox 360s for you to play.
Of course, it isn't just for those hoping to play in the tournaments, the lan is open to everyone, so you can come and play whatever games you want, or just... make use of the dedicated file server. :)
The competition games will be as follows:
-- PC -- Counter Strike 1.6 Counter Strike Source Unreal Tournament 2004 Dawn of War
-- Console -- Gears of War Halo 2 Project Gotham Racing 3 Dead or Alive 4
InterLAN 3.0 takes place in the Hub on April 7th and 8th. Doors open at 12pm and it finishes at 2pm the next day. Entry is 15 euro. It promises to be a truly great event, so we hope to see you all there. Fore more info, check out the official website: http://interlan.dcu.ie

As for this week's events... Console Gaming will be running at 3pm in the Seminar Room, but this week we hope to get a Mario Kart DS tournament going. Possibly the best Mario Kart game ever, it has the added bonus that you don't even need ta copy of the game to play it with your friends, just a DS. Even if you don't own a DS someone can give you a loan, so hopefully we can get a tournament going. Normal consoles will also be out too. Lab Gaming as usual runs from 6pm in C204.
Enjoy your "Reading Week". If you're a business student, or one of those other groups that aren't in this week, know that I hate you. :)
