Hey guys,

So this week we've got:

- Retro Gaming - Ice Skating - Lab Gaming - BYOPC 7

-Retro Gaming-

This Wednesday GameSoc will be having a bit of a nostalgia trip when we run retro gaming, an event where we dust off the old consoles we all grew up with such as the NES, SNES, Playstation, N64, Dreamcast and Sega Mega Drive and have an afternoon of old school fun! We'll be playing all the old favourites like Street Fighter, Super Mario Bros, Sensible Soccer, Mariokart and whatever else anyone can bring to the event!

We'd also love if people could bring retro consoles/games and if possible TV's to the event, even small 15" TV's would be great. Retro gaming will run from 2pm on Wednesday in the Seminar Room. As usual free refreshments for all. Expect lots of blowing into cartridges and classic 16 bit music! :)

-Ice Skating-

On Wednesday Redbrick & GamesSoc are going ice skating, and we have free tickets for anyone who wants them. Its on in the RDS and will start at 5.30pm. Buses (€5) will be leaving from the Helix at 4.15pm. If you'd like a ticket send a mail to skating@redbrick.dcu.ie

-Lab Gaming-

So theres only 5 days left till the big 24 hour LAN, what better way to prepare? 3 hours of Lab Gaming on Thursday night! Lab Gaming is running as per usual from 6-9pm in C204, The Henry Grattan building.

-BYOPC 7-

This Saturday GamesSoc will be running our first 24 hour LAN event of the year. We'll be running tournaments with prizes up for grabs in Team Fortress 2, CounterStrike: Source, Unreal Tournament, Dawn of War: Dark Crusade and a mystery game.

There will also be plenty of casual gaming during the night too. We'll be playing stuff like Worms, Supreme Commander, Quake and lots more, basically whatever everyone feels like playing on the night. A console area will also be setup in the venue with the 360, PS3, Guitar Hero and Wii all setup. Oh and you know, lots of file sharing to look forward to ;)

For everyone bringing their PC to the event you'll need the following: - LAN Cable - Power Adapter - Headphones (no speakers will be allowed) - PC + Monitor - Food!

Things will kick off at 11am on Saturday morning in the hub (Ballymun Road entrance) and end at 11am on Sunday morning. Entrance fee of €10.

If you have any questions about any of our events, feel free to send a mail to games@redbrick.dcu.ie or drop by the forums.
