...anyway here is what's going on in Gamessoc for the coming week:

- Trad Gaming: As Normal [Mon + Wed] - - Console Gaming: PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale Tournament [Wed] - - PC Gaming: Currently Offline - - Retro Gaming This Week! [Thurs] - - Discord: New IRC and Voice Chat Server -

- - Trad Gaming: As Normal [Mon + Wed] - - Trad Gaming will be on this as normal this Wednesday with the board and card games you know and love! You guys know the drill, escape the house on the hill, smash tokyo, defeat the boss monster, find the spy and expose the werewolfs! You can find them on Mondays in XG01 from 6pm - 10pm and Wednesdays in XG01 from 5pm - 10pm.

- - Console Gaming: As Normal [Wed] - - Consoles returns again this week and we have a big trolley of TV's, consoles and bags of games and controllers for you to relax (or get really into) after the Wednesday lunch rush! This week we shall be running a PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale Tournament! It's like super smash brothers except with Sony characters, only it's not that similar to smash brothers actually, different but a lot of fun! Sign-ups are €2 and take place form 2pm onwards with the tournament expected to take place from 3pm. As per the usual they will be set up on Wednesday from 2pm-5pm in XG01.

- - PC Gaming: Currently offline - - It's that time of year again where we sadly must be patient and wait for the computers to be imaged while not exactly enjoyable is quite necessary. We will let you know ASAP when PC gaming will be back up and running.

- - Retro Gaming Night Info! - - The time has come! Retro gaming night will be taking place this Thursday in the NuBar in the Hub from 6pm onwards! For those of you unaware, Retro Gaming Night is where we take over the lower half of the NuBar, set up our usual TV's fitted with some Retro Consoles including the big TV in the corner of the room! We shall be running tournaments all night with some lovely prizes and all of the tournaments are free to enter so be sure to enter as many as you can! Good old games, food, drink, laughs and prizes! What's not to like?

We also have a facebook event now which you can now find here! http://tinyurl.com/RetroGamingNight

- - Discord: New IRC and Voice Chat Server - - So we have set up a Discord server! What's that you ask? Well it's a handy dandy voice and text chat server that's incredibly easy to use! You can hop on to chat in different channels (different ones for voice and text) and chat away with different gamessoc members or talk and play games together here! Here is the invite link for our Gamessoc Server! We hope you guys check it out! https://discordapp.com/invite/0cmmZp3X3eu4xZX6

There are also dedicated clients for desktop and mobile if you prefer that too! https://discordapp.com/apps

I believe that's everything that's happening this week and I'll see you next time!
