Joining COMPSOC

    OK; Who wants to join COMPSOC?

    Just to get an idea of how many people are joining, even before we advertise on the clubs/socs day. Also so we can say we have X amount of members on the day... ww)

    Also, who goes to the library people to ask for permission to use A307 as the COMPSOC room?
    I'd go, but I think Francis would have to go, as he's the President this year.

    Finally, should we open the compsoc a wek early, or something, to make sure the games work, so when the n00bs join, it'll be running, and thus no intrest will b lost.

    i joined the music society and got a free key ring from sheriff o'guevaras, so there!!!

    ps what happens now if the techies say we cant have the room? did that cross any1's minds? we should make up a "study society" that studies maths or sumtin in room A313 where all the monitors are turned away from the door so we can play games but if any1 walks in they cant see. mwah ha ha etc.......

    When are we going to see last years PS2. It was brought and brought in once, and that was it. Ivor had it as a footrest there for a while.:horned:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,775 ✭✭✭Spacedog


    That depends, I don't mind playing games, but for christ sake leave the lights on, I know you guys might want to d/l porn and **** in a nice dark corner, but that's what zip drives are for!
    Having the lights off means you can't see what keys your pressing when playing games and gives an air of weirdness to the whole club, isolating new members with yer weird ways!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,839 ✭✭✭balkieb2002


    the_syco (i think prononuced the_sicko :) ) turned them off last time as he was using the projector to play but other than that they shud be left on as like spacedog siad easier to play..


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,602 ✭✭✭ShayK1


    lights on or off...........everyone will die!!!!
    Including me because i'm really crap!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,172 ✭✭✭Don1


    I'm crapper!!! If I knew the keys I might be a wee bit better!!!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,218 ✭✭✭Redrocket

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,839 ✭✭✭balkieb2002


    yeah it seems first "offical" meeting is on monday...


    Have they got the rooms/passes sorted out yet?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 37,306 ✭✭✭✭the_syco


    The lights were off, as most of the games are dark, and the lights cause bright reflection on hte monitor.

    Also, the_syco is pronounced the psycho.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,459 ✭✭✭seanos


    Lights off - ALWAYS!!!!
    lights bad enough as it is normally, in regards to games they ruin them.

    ... For those of you who don't know where keys are, use IRC some more, and ye'll know where every key is ... really isn't that hard to cop on where keys on, esp if only using a few [as most games do] .... so either yer keyboard conf is so wrong that you should be shot, or you just need to IRC more!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,172 ✭✭✭Don1


    Now that I'll be usin my lappie I'll go to the trouble of settin up the contorls to have most function on the mouse. Makes it easier imho.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,459 ✭✭✭seanos


    depends what u mean by 'most'
    right/left/wheel ... is ok
    much more and starts gettin arkward ...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,602 ✭✭✭ShayK1


    think he makes the right button 'walk', left button 'shoot' and scroll to change weapon!


    handy really!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,218 ✭✭✭Redrocket


    **** that, default quake controls are the best with one or two changes.
    w
    asd
    spacebar
    mouse to aim and fire. what more could you want?
    also number keys binded to weapons and auto change of weapon turned off.
    and whoever ****ing changed the quake controls to
    e
    sdf
    is ****ed up. what was the point of that?????


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,602 ✭✭✭ShayK1


    doesn't bother me what the controls are as long as i can find them!

    kinda hard play games if you can find the key to move!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,484 ✭✭✭✭Stephen


    lights off sucks. that coupled with the usual smell and loud shouting of compsoc usually makes everyone look like fúcking weirdos.
