Hey folks,

- Demonware Talk -

So this week is 'Techweek', and as part of Techweek GamesSoc will be hosting a games development talk by Demonware, a maker of network middleware for the gaming industry. Demonware have worked on games such as Call of Duty 2: Big Red One, Call of Duty 3, Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, Splinter Cell: Double Agent and Rainbow Six: Vegas.

Demonware are one of the top middleware companies in the gaming industry, and one of the most successful games development companies to originate in Ireland. This talk is a rare opportunity to hear from professionals in the gaming industry first hand, so if you're interested in the gaming industry this is must-attend event!

- Build your own PC -

At 4pm on Wednesday, after the Demonware talk GamesSoc will be hosting a 'build your own PC' tutorial given by our very own PC Ents. Officer Sean Hand! Sean will be going over the basics of how to go about building your own PC from scratch, which can be quite tricky!

- Lab Gaming -

On Thursday Lab Gaming returns after its week long hiatus! We'll be in C204 in the Henry Grattan building from 6pm playing CounterStrike, Quake, Age of Empires and all the rest! :)

We'd also like to mention that during the week, GamesSoc held an all night charity event in the Mezz as part of Rag Week and I'm delighted to say we raised over €150 for charity! Thanks to everyone who came out and rocked rock band until 4 or so in the morning! The event was a huge success, and we look forward to even more fun during Techweek 2008!
