Never forget

ApeXaviour

I got dragged down to a gamers meeting once by a friend (in return I was to drag him to a nightclub). To get there we had to enter the goldsmith and then go through a maze of back corridors and doors (I got completely lost) til we got to this,
well... hovel.
It vibrated intensly any-time a train went by and its walls and roof were one, a cylindrical arch type thing (probably to support the trains goin overhead). That's not to say it wasn't a pretty kewl place , crack-den like but still pretty nifty. There was space, hippy-couches, a carpet and multitudes of game-like paraphenalia. One thing it lacked... no women and no beer.

Tekken was the only reason I stayed for a few hours.. I used to think I was the king of it, but in that place I was only just above average
Couldn't handle the shame so I never went back. My mate never came to that nite-club either..

Trivia: I was one of the people who brought the SciFi from small nerd infested soc to a giant nerd infested soc ... We controled a lot of the society money back then (through the CSC) and I often wondered what has happened to them since then...
(Was con director for Leprecon 11 (I think) too!)...

Anyone from '89-92 era here?

Women?? In Gamers??? Lies, all lies.

SciFi society had some of the best society rooms at the top of House 6 - I almost got heavily involved in 1st year but then I remembered the stairs. Some very cool people in SciFi and they do all the movie screenings so they're not a bunch of spotty nerds like the comp Sci societies. But last I heard college was planning on running them out of house 6.

Gamers, equally had cool rooms at the top of house 4 but got "moved" after being accused of pis.sing down the stairwell and pouring concrete down it in and end of year celebration - which, believe it or not was the work of the chess society. The new rooms are impossible to find which narrows their membership but they DO suit the gamers soc well. Dark, fetid dungeon.

The over-pampered Law, Hist and Phil of course have the best rooms despite the fact that their debating teams get progressively more embarrassing as the years go by.

For those that don't know, yes "conversion of Papists" is part of the official title of the college, but you won't find it on any literature anymore. Just like provisions for scholars to have a yard of ale in an exam, or to carry a sheathed sword, it is a pleasant anachronism that underlines just how much better Trinity is than the various culchie technical institutes of farming masquerading as universities.

They ought to have let the concrete set in a black-and-white checked pattern, and watch everyone try to figure out who did it. Or are you just teasing us freshers with a myth along the lines of "stealing the bust of Myles na gCopaleen off its plinth"?

26, thats not that bad, lol. all the same though, you're nearly 7 years older than me, so no student nurse lovin' for you!

The SciFi got accused of ripping open the top of the car of the Junior Dean and filling it full of empty kegs in protest at the keg ban. It wasnt us, it was the Eng Soc actually but everyone thought it was us because we were, um, a little unorthodox.
Later that year the Auditor and I ended up in front of the dean again for our end of year party on which we blew all the cash we'd made from films (about 3K) on beer and got a little out of hand. We also got served a copyright infringement letter by two very scary suits one night and had to go legal!
Fun times

Anyone know whats going on with the SciFi now? Might stick my head in and say hello sometime!

A few of my friends used to be in it about 4 years ago - was a deadly room to hang out in then but they all left college and left little old me behind.

Pretty sure it's another college myth but wasn't there something about hiding a car on a building or in a building or something......?

*sniff* good old Trinners! I founded the Internet Society (Netsoc) with a few friends of mine there, what.. 8 years ago? Good god.

Anyway, have fun all you little CSers! Don't mind about DLD that's piss easy.. in my day it were 2BA5 - Digital Electronics that scuppered everyone.

No, entirely true. Fortunatly the concrete didn't get wet.

Belfield Polytechnic = University of Culchie Degenerates.
The reason it's on so much land is so the boggers can bring their favourite animal from home to keep them company.

Theres only one was to describe the people in the "Gamers Society" is it LOSERS in freshers week they play with plastic swords and arrows like my seven year old brother imagin your first day in Trinity and you see people playing with palstic swords you'd go what the Fcuk,these people didnt get beat up enough at school most of them have never spoken to a girl before let alone touch them in an indecent fasion.nough said

ApeXaviour

My single experience of gamers (I hate to admit) backs up ceilingfan all the way. I won't go into detail cos I believe in a thing called tact.

most of them have never spoken to a girl

But Ceiling, you know apparently they have women in gamers now. So I assume they talk to these girls. At least I can say that for them

celingfan

alright maybe i was a bit harsh i'll admit my sincerest apologies to any member of the gameing society who has every spoken to a girl.Happy!
Now where was i ah yes Female members of the gaming society,that leads me on to my idea
Awkward porn
this is a new concept in the porno industry ,Comedy porn ,the main aim of this is not arrousal but mere halarity at looking at two nerds trying to well have sex basically think of the possabilities........

They play with their plastic swords the passion brimming over one not wanting to give in to those urges each moment she seems more like captain janeway with her frizzy straw red hair (no offence towards red heads apex)
getting tangled in her sword , then suddenly they give in they try to kiss but Jabba the hut misses and licks her face ....ect ect you see my point i don't even need to describe what happens when the begin to get frisky we all have good enough imaginations for that
no doubt some "gamer" will take offence to it but all i tell is the truth nothing else farwell

Mate, you are so lucky there isn't a "fulltime" mod on this forum yet, because quite frankly you deserve to be banned.
Don't know anyone in gamers but your last couple of posts in this thread have irritated me greatly.....

taking the piss out of people is all well and good but being written down we have to interpret your words as we seem them. It's hard to tell you are taking the piss.... The smilie thingies are a simple, tho not always useful, method of imparting the mood of your words.....

you are new at this. perhaps i'm too quick to judge.....
