Evening everyone!
Hope you all are having a great four day weekend and as you may have remembered last week it was Tríona's last announce email as I have now taken over duties as secretary for the coming year. I wish to thank her for all the announce emails she has graced us with this year and the work she has put into them. With that I shall be sending out the announce emails from here on out so without further delay let's get the ball rolling!
What's going on in Gamessoc for the coming week:
- Trad Gaming: Dominion Tournament - - Console Gaming: As Normal - - PC Gaming: Still on hiatus - - Pub Quiz: Results - - 48 Hour LAN: Sponsorship Update! -
- - Trad Gaming: Dominion Tournament - - With the bank holiday this Monday Trad will not be on however!...Trad will operate as normal this Wednesday from 5pm until 10pm in XG01 and we will be having a tournament in Dominion, so if you want to take part signups begin at 5:30pm and it begins at 6:30pm for only 2 so come along and try to grab some gold and luxurious estates! If Dominion isn't your thing no worries we will still have all the other usual games as always so its the same old trad you know and love.
- - Console Gaming: As Normal - - Consoles shall be operating as normal in X101 from 2pm until 5pm this Wednesday so you get your weekly fix of Smash Bros, Towerfall, Tekken, Wrecked and much much more! Personally I find it quite relaxing to sit down, next to a friend or fellow Gamessoc member, take a deep breath, and attempt to completely annihilate whoever is beside me in a video game. Ahhhh got to love consoles, win or lose it's always fun.
- - PC Gaming: Still on Hiatus - - While getting the PCs for our usual Tuesday and Thursday gaming replaced is a wonderful thing and something we have looked forward to for a while they are not yet set up for PC Gaming as ISS have not yet gotten back to us so please be patience with us until then and we will update you as soon as we know when we can all go back to the promised land.
- - Pub Quiz: Results - - Thank you to everyone who came down to NuBar on Thursday to take part in our annual pub quiz! It was a blast and for those of you who couldn't attend the winners of the pub quiz were Multitap Games, in second came The Uncertainty Principle and third Yick Monaghan. Not forgetting Steven Flynn , Eric Stanley and Paul Redmond for winning the spot prizes and the Raffle winner Alan Stevenson who walked away with a Dreamcast and several games!
-- 48 Hour LAN: Sponsorship Update! - - For those of you who are unaware we have been looking for sponsorships for our upcoming 48 Hour LAN this summer and guess what? Logitech have decided to sponsor us and they are donating to us three G303 Daedalus Apex Gaming Mice and a Orion Spark mechanical gaming keyboard! There might be more sponsorships announced soon and we shall let you all know accordingly! We have yet to decide how you might be able to get your hands on these wonderful prizes however keep an eye on our facebook event page at https://www.facebook.com/events/359865627540024/ for all of the information you need.
That is everything that is happening this week and I hope this announce email gets your approval and I'll see you next week!
