Don’t Study

Don’t Study is coming up. It’s our portable systems event, so bring your DS, PSP (or whatever you use) and come play portable games with others. If you’d like to try to co-ordinate games, come check out our forums to see if others will be games that you like to play. This event will take place on Wednesday October 29th, and runs from 4pm until midnight in the SLC Great Hall.

There’s a great opportunity for linked co-op and head-to-head portable gaming, so if you haven’t been able to find people to play with, this is the event for you. We will have Pokemon Battle Revolution on a projector as well.
