We are holding a 24 hour BYOPC (bring your own PC) LAN this weekend, Saturday the 21st and Sunday the 22nd from 12pm Saturday until 12pm Sunday. To sign up, all you need to do is register on
http://www.byopc.dcu.ie/and bring a €10 entry fee on the day (as well as your computer).
The event will be held in the Helix in "the space" and entrance will be via the side door (the place inbetween the Henry Grattan and the Helix itself).
Tournament-wise we will be running 3 main competitions: an RTS (Dawn of War II), a one v one FPS (Unreal Tournament) and a team based FPS
(Counter-Strike: Source). Prizes to be won for each of them, so be sure to get a game or two in for practice beforehand!
Also, we will need you to bring your own power extension cords and cat5 cable (although we'll probably have quite a bit of spare cat5 cable, so
you don't need to worry about that if you don't have any spare).
This Wednesday Games Soc will be holding a Halo 3: ODST tournament!
The signups will take place on the day at 2:30pm in the Old Bar in the Hub with the tournament itself starting at 3pm.
It will be a free for all elimination style tournament with a €2 entry fee. Prizes for the top three competitors!
We are also holding a Worms tournament on Thursday at Lab Gaming in C204 in the Henry Grattan.
Entry for this will be free, so all you have to do is make sure you turn up early (we will be taking sign ups at 6pm and starting at 6:30pm) and get a spot.
There will be a mystery prize for the overall winner!
I've just changed the news system on the main site to feed from the forums! So now, you can comment on all the society's news! Woo!
(To be honest, this was just a test)
