Fighting Game Casuals / Anime Fighting! Sat. Oct 29th, 4pm+, SLC Great Hall

This Saturday, October 29th, we’re hosting some (Anime) Fighting Game Casuals in the SLC Great Hall from 4pm until midnight. There’s going to be a distinct lack of Street Fighter and Marvel at this event, the focus will be be on all sorts of different games which tend to be very anime for some reason. You can look forward to:

• Melty Blood: Actress Again
• BlazBlue: Continuum Shift 2
• Arcana Heart 3
• Guilty Gear XX: Accent Core
• Hokuto No Ken
• Capcom Vs SNK 2
• King of Fighters 2002

This event will be fairly casual, no scheduled tournaments or anything like that (but there could be spur of the moment ones!). Come by and play some video games. We’ll have some extra sticks available, but of course it’s much easier if you bring your own controller.

If you like these kinds of games, there’s a group of 5-10 people who get together a couple times a week and play these games with each other. There’s a “Fighting Game Casuals” thread on our forums where you can see the planning. If you’re interested in finding more people to play with, you don’t have to look too far.

If you’re a fan of Street Fighter or Marvel, don’t feel left out! We’re running a tournament on November 26th with the people from Bison’s Auto Shop. There’s no official stuff up yet, but it will exist in the next week or two.

We originally had a Battlefield 3 Event scheduled in this (Oct 29th) slot, however it had to be cancelled due to unfortunate last minute circumstances (which you can read all about on our forums if you’re curious!).

LAN Event, Sat. Oct 15th, 11am-midnight, RCH307

The LAN event is here! If you’ve come out to our LAN events before it’s the same deal as always. Bring your own computer and ethernet cable, show up and play some games. As far as games go, you can look forward to League of Legends, Team Fortress 2, Left 4 Dead 2, Starcraft 2, and a whole bunch of others.

Feel free to drop by whenever you want, we’ll be around all day.

The event is pretty casual, if you want to play something just ask the room and see if you can get something started. If you like a more obscure game that requires a whole lot of people, you might want to talk to us and we can try to work something out.

We’ll have pizza and pop available most of the day, bring some cash it’s probably good for you. If you have extra power bars or extension cables, please bring them if it isn’t too much of a hassle. We can always use more stuff to hook people together at the event.

Game Night, Tues Oct 11th

Our first Game Night is upon us! The featured games are Super Smash Brothers Melee, Tomena Sanner, and Age of Empires III (though any game in the Age of Empires series is open – Online is free!). If you’d like to join the fun, come to the SLC Multi-Purpose Room (adjacent to the Great Hall) from 7-10 PM.

Remember, if you want to play PC games you have to bring equipment – all we have are ethernet ports and power bars. This means a laptop and an ethernet cable, or a desktop and monitor if you are really dedicated.

Look forward to seeing you there!
