Don’t Study (Portables) – Today (Wed June 17th), Great Hall, 5PM

Today, Wednesday June 17th, a Don’t Study event is taking place in the SLC Great Hall. This event is all about portable systems. Talking to other people while playing games is a lot more social than hiding in your room and playing games, so it’s always good to give this a shot.

This event starts at 5PM in the SLC Great Hall, and goes until late. Hope to see you (yes, you in particular) there.

Game On – Today (June 2), 5pm, SLC Great Hall

There’s a Game On today, running from 5pm to midnight in the SLC Great Hall.

A Game On is essentially free play, there’s a wide variety of games from various consoles, and you can try things out. The games will be mostly multiplayer, and there will probably be someone around willing to try whatever game is currently going on.

This is a fairly basic event, and it’s incredibly easy to drop in and play. If you’re around, come on by.

Spring 2009 – Event Dates

The event dates for this term have been set, they are:

  • Tues June 2: Game On (5pm-midnight, Great Hall)
  • Wed June 17: Don’t Study (5pm-midnight, Great Hall)

  • Wed Jul 22: Fight On (5pm-midnight, Great Hall)
  • Thurs July 30: Rock Band (time TBA, Great Hall)

If you do not know what these events are, here is a brief summary:

Game On
Many games from different consoles will be brought down to the SLC Great Hall, and there is free-play. There is no set theme, no goal, just to hang out and have some fun. If you’d like to see a game there and you don’t own it, post on our forum and it will probably show up (if it isn’t too obscure, that is).

Don’t Study
Don’t Study is a Portable Systems Party (DS, PSP, what a witty title!). Come to the Great Hall and play games with others. If you play a game that has network capabilities, ask about it on our forums to see if anyone else in the club plays it.

Smash Bros. Tournament
The format still is not decided, but is currently being planned in our forum. Players will compete in a team or singles, and attempt to come out on top. There will be prizes.

Fight On
Our fighting game event, it will feature many of the new releases. There will also be mini-tournaments throughout the night to determine who is the best at a given fighting game.

Rock Band
A battle of the bands, the format is still mostly to be determined, however it will not be only how well you play. It also involves how well you act on stage. This is our final event of the term, and occurs after classes are finished.

Music Appreciation Night tomorrow! (Wednesday)

Our Posters for this event say that it takes place on Thursday, but that’s actually incorrect. The event takes place tomorrow, Wednesday March 11th, so tell your friends who are thinking of going that the date on the posters was incorrect. Even if they weren’t thinking of going, tell them anyway.

Our Music Appreciation Night is taking place tomorrow, Wednesday March 11th, from 5pm to midnight in the SLC Great Hall.

All sorts of music games will be there, including Rock Band 2 and a few lesser* known ones like Beatmania and Samba de Amigo.

We’ll be in the SLC Great Hall, so come on by and make some beautiful music!

*The magnitude of lesser greatly varies from person to person.
