Hello members,

Make sure you're sitting securely in your seats.

I'm extremely proud to announce that after a long haul and lots of stress, we finally have CSD approved Lab Gaming! This means that we have a lab in Henry Grattan, C204, that we can game in on a weekly basis. The machines are 3GHz Pentium 4s, 1gig of RAM, and Intel Extreme graphics on 17inch LCD screens. Perfect for now. We have our own dedicated GamesSoc image we can play on, so when you sit down to play, everything instantly works. No setting up steam, no copying files. It's all go.

So without further ado, tomorrow night we will be holding our first semi-official event.

All members of GamesSoc are being invited to attend, on a first-come first-get-a-pc basis. Pop along to C204 tomorrow evening at 6pm where we will be playing CS until 9pm. We would encourage as many as possible to show up so we can see what the demand is like for future events, and also to get feedback from you guys as to what you'd like to see at the upcoming events.

You guys might want to bring along your own mice and pads, currently the lab only has ball mice. Headphones would also be extremely helpful. Oh, and no food/drink - this is a CSD lab which we must repsect.

Thursday 1st December, 6pm, C204. See you there :)

- David Connolly Chairperson, DCU Games Society

ps. Newbies: C204 is located on the second floor of Henry Grattan. We'll stick some GamesSoc posters on the door.
