This Wednesday we're holding another mini-tournament (which means free entry!) at Console Gaming in the Old Bar. If you want to take part, you will need to bring your own DS (or borrow one on the day). The game itself isn't required as it has download play. Sign ups taking place from 2:30 with the tournament itself starting at 3pm. Mystery prize for the winner!

     


We are also holding our end of year Lab Gaming tournament! A 6v6 in Team Fortress 2. Sign ups take place from 6:30 on Thursday in C204 with the competition itself starting around 7pm with a €2 entry fee. A selection of games for the winning team!

This Wednesday we are holding a Fifa Tournament on the Xbox 360. The venue for the event will be the Old Bar in the Hub. Sign ups take place from 2:30pm and kick off (get it?) starts at 3pm. Entry €2 with prizes up for grabs for the top three winners.


This Thursday we are also holding a Christmas Party in association with a bunch of other societies(Airsoft, Artsoc, Booksoc, Filmsoc, RedBrick and Strange Things). It will be from 7pm in the Slipper, so you should all come along and stuff. Yay. Note, that due to the Christmas Party, Lab Gaming will be ending earlier than usual, with the people there heading over to the Slipper at around 7pm.

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).
