Hey everyone!
Sorry about how late this email is going out... I dropped the ball this week, but I'll be sure that it won't happen again!
Here's what is happening in GamesSoc this week: - 24 Hour LAN - Trad Gaming - PC Gaming - Console Gaming - Game Development Meetup - Red Bull Crushed Ice
- - 24 Hour LAN - - As we mentioned at our EGM and in our last announce, we will be holding a 24 hour BYOPC LAN before the end of the semester! We have booked the Venue from 6pm on the 5th of December to 6pm on the 6th of December! We have booked in for fifty people to be able to attend, so if you are interested please fill in our signups form. We are charging a twenty euro deposit per person, if the costs work out to be cheaper then we will be able to refund some of this to you and vice versa. We'll also have some of our traditional games and console games there, so if you're not a PC gamer there will still be loads for you to do! We'll also be running tournaments over the 24 hours. Signed up already? You need to get your deposit to a committee member as soon as possible. Signups: http://goo.gl/forms/lLMPti98Ih
- - Trad Gaming - - Trad gaming will take place as usual on Monday and Wednesday of this week. Mondays session will run from 6pm to 10pm, and Wednesdays session will run from 5pm to 10pm as usual. Come along to play some card and board games!
- - PC Gaming - - PC Gaming will be running this week on both Tuesday and Thursday of this week from 6pm to 10pm. We'll be up in C204 on both days, and we'll also be holding a Starwahls tournament during Thursdays session. Signups start from 6pm, and cost two euro. We'll then be starting the tournament from 7pm onwards. Not your cup of tea? We'll have access to a host of other games.
- - Console Gaming - - Console gaming will be set up in X131 again this week from 1pm to 5pm this Wednesday. Come along to button mash on our consoles, both old and new!
- - Game Development Meetup - - Our weekly game development meeting will be running this Tuesday from 6pm to 8pm. Just a reminder, the plan for the game so far seems to be heading towards a Magic School themed game. Think Theme Hospital, but in a Hogwartsesque school. Sounds interesting? Be sure to pop in, we'll be up in C124!
- - Red Bull Crushed Ice - - Red Bull and GamesSoc are teaming up this Friday from 11am to 3pm. We'll be running a competition in their new Xbox game. Red Bull are hosting an event in Stormont Castle called Crushed Ice, it’s one of the biggest ice-skating events in the world and it’s on in Ireland for over 50,000 people. As a prize for this competition, Red Bull are giving away two tickets to the event. Interested? All you have to do is try to get the highest score on Friday. Come along and give it a shot!
