Meeting Today (Nov 3), RCH 205, 5:30pm
Just a quick reminder that there’s a meeting today in RCH 205 at 5:30pm.
We’re going to go over information for the LAN Event, League of Legends tournament finale stuff (the tournament emails are going out in the next few hours), Game Night on Tuesday next week, and anything else we can think of!
The room can be a bit tricky to find, but fortunately there are maps and vague directions. Don’t get too lost!
Game Night Tonight. Tues Nov 8. SLC MPR, L4D1 & Guitar Hero
We’re running another Game Night tonight (Tuesday Nov 8)in the SLC Multi-Purpose room, which is attached to the Great Hall. It’ll run from 7pm until 10pm. The focus will be on Guitar Hero (and also other similar plastic instrument games), as well as Left 4 Dead 1.
If you have any copies of random music games that don’t require a lot of equipment, feel free to bring them. If you want to bring your own music stuff that’s fine too, but we don’t expect anyone to do this.
As far as Left 4 Dead 1 goes, you’ll need to bring your own laptop/ethernet cable, we will have a way to get everyone networked together in the room.
LAN Event. Sat Nov 12, RCH 307. 11am-midnight.
We’re holding another LAN Event in RCH 307 this Saturday, November 12th. Bring your computer and an ethernet cable and play video games with us for a bunch of the day.
We’ll be starting at 11am, and will be going essentially all day. There will be pizza and pop available to purchase, $0.50/pop, $1.50/pizza slice. The pizza should show up around lunch time and dinner time. Unfortunately we don’t take credit card or watcard as payment, so you might want to prepare beforehand and grab some cash.
Game Preparation
If you have the bandwidth to spare, you can come to the LAN event completely prepared by installing games! We’ll be trying to get some free games going, so by downloading and installing them now you save time later.
- Warsow, a Quake 3 Arena-like game
- Urban Terror. It’s some kind of counter strike of duty warfare game and is free, so why not?
- Tribes 2 (via TribesNext). It’s abandonware that has been picked up by the community, we’d like to get this going if we have enough people
- Lix is 8 player Lemmings. Kind of fun I suppose
- There’s also soldat but it looks like it comes packaged with some kind of spyware and we don’t want to inflict that on everyone if we can avoid it.
Any other free games that are multiplayer and don’t get played too often are welcome!
There’s also the “big” free to play games which you should also have installed:
Team Fortress 2
League of Legends
If you can’t spare the bandwidth, we should have a DC++ server setup at the event so you can quickly get copies of these games.
