Hey Folks,

Here's to a new week of brand new games and the steady decline of my bank account funds.

Here's the rundown this week: - Traditional Gaming | Monday 6-10pm | Henry Grattan, C165 - - Clyde Night | Tuesday 8pm | Steam, Teamspeak - - Console Gaming | Wednesday 2-6pm | The Hub, Old Bar - - Pathfinder Pitfighting | Wednesday 6-10pm | Science Building, XG15 - - PC Gaming | Not on this week -

- Traditional Gaming | Monday 6-10pm | Henry Grattan, C165 - We'll be in room C165 in the Henry Grattan building from 6-10pm for traditional gaming. Here we play games like San Juan, Risk, Paranoia and Pit. Of course that's not all we have. We have a huge list of games here: http://boardgamegeek.com/collection/user/DCUgamessoc If you have any suggestions on what to bring just post here: http://games.dcu.ie/forums/index.php?topic=2041.450

- Clyde Night | Tuesday 8pm - For those who don't know what Clyde night is it's where we all meet up online and play a few PC games. We have a Teamspeak server where we usually meet up for this. The Teamspeak hostname is clyde.redbrick.dcu.ie. We will also be on steam using our steam group so if you haven't signed up yet to the group I suggest you do so now here: http://steamcommunity.com/groups/gamessoc

- Console Gaming | Wednesday 2-6pm | The Hub, Old Bar - Console gaming's on in the Hub in the Old Bar. That's the large room directly across from the Venue. It's on from 2-6pm. We'll have 2 Wiis, 2 PS3s and 2 360s set up so there will be something for everyone. We have a large selection of games like Smash Bros, Gears of War 3, Bomberman and we just got a copy of FIFA 12 this week so there's a lot to play.

If you've got a PSP or DS bring them too. We usually have a few games of Tetris DS, Mario Kart and take on a few missions in Metal Gear: Peacewalker and Monster Hunter.

- Pathfinder Pitfighting | Science Building, XG15 | Wednesday 6-10pm - Just a quick note that while Pitfighting is on Wednesday we'll still have a normal Traditional gaming night on also in the same room.

You may be wondering what exactly is pit fighting. Think of it as the survival mode of an RPG where we take all that distracting story and plot and side quest and chuck it in a skip somewhere and focus on combat. So you fight against monsters until you fight till you are the last player standing and then... you fight more until everyone is dead.

No experience is needed so if you have ever wanted to give a tabletop RPG a shot now is your chance. Characters will be provided on the day but if by any chance you are familiar with the pathfinder role playing system feel free to bring your own 3rd level character. You can use any class/race from the core rule book only no advance players guide or alternate classes allowed.

- PC Gaming - I apologise yet again that PC Gaming will not be on this week. You may strike me with paddles for this insult.

That's all this week hope you have a great time while I slowly punish myself playing Dark Souls.
