Just wondering if any others Uni's have socs for computer games I know a few others do ... just we're having a LAN party in UL ... wondering if they'd be interested in a few intervarsity games :-)

IT Carlow's comp soc this year == games soc.

Unfortunately, due to restrictions on the lan and the individual machines all they've got working so far is Quake1 and AOE2.

(I want me quake3 and halflife

I'm on the NUI,Galway Compsoc and we're promoting gaming this year ( 24 way CS orgies in public labs:) ).

As it happens the UL LAN sits a lovely 2 says before our Christmas exams (what kind of a Santa would allow this?)

However, I would like to get in touch with other Compsocs/Gaming socs with a view towards some Intervarsity "hardkore aktion". It's easy to weasle cash from the SU for Intervarsity junkets. Direct all ideas at mailto:robbo@compsoc.nuigalway.ie

Chief,
Minds (the IT society) is having a Lan on Friday. Bring your own PC and network card and you can join in.

Lord Khan · 24-10-2001 2:06pm

no we don't get a budget ... Yet ... long story :-) but doubtful we'd even get a descent size budget at all. we have to live off the donations and charity of members :-) and they're a bunch of stinge student types :-P

least I know that there is other Gaming Type socs.

Yes, in Maynooth. You'll have to bring in your own PC's, but that's fair - and a network card.
