Hey all,

For quick info, directions and a list of some of the games we'll be playing, skip to the bottom of this post.

We (Wired Gaming... we don't have a gaming centre any more but we're still about ) are going to be running regular LANs in 091Labs, the Galway hackerspace. How regular depends on demand.

The first is coming up on the 11th of February, starting at 17:00 and ending sometime Saturday (whenever most people have left). There are, at time of writing, 10 people booked with a maximum of around 20... but we can probably squeeze more in.


We're putting all of the infrastructure in place (power sockets, 48 port switch etc.) so that set up will be as quick and painless as possible. We'll also have people on hand to help get you up and going (including installing/patching games) if you need it.

This is a social event as well as a gaming one, and we welcome anyone who wants to come down and join in. It's going to be a lot of fun. Even if you don't want to join in the LAN, you're welcome to call in and say hello. You might even get a game or two (we're setting up two hotseats for people to just jump in and play).


Entry is €15 for this first event (all money goes to 091Labs and I'd like to use this first event to do some fundraising for them) but future events will be cheaper. Members of 091Labs go free.

091Labs is a run on a voluntary not-for-profit basis by it's members, for more information on 091Labs and what it is, go here.

For more information on the event itself, visit Wired Gaming.

Bring: Yourself, a laptop or computer, and a few metre network cable if you have it. Headphones are a must.

Booking: Do so on our website. No registration is required, just your name and email address.

Hotseats: We'll have two "Hotseat" computers for those who just want to drop in and play a game or two. There's no charge, no booking required, and everyone's welcome.


Funny story actually. I thought everyone would feck off after Wired closed, but the feckers kept posting on the website.

Ah man. Pity its too short notice, I would've been interested

That's cool man, hopefully we'll be doing them on a fairly regular basis.

Just a quick update.


We're all set for Friday, the sockets are in and the network equipment arrived today (it was with Donal).


We have 14 booked, which is great, but there's plenty of room if anyone wants to drop in.




We'll start at 5pm but everyone's welcome to come down at 3:30pm to help set up.

Really looking forward to it.

[Faerdan]

We have 19 booked now, but there's still space for anyone who wants to join us.

Also, people are welcome to drop in to say hello, and hopefully we'll be able to give you a pc for a game or two.

Hey all,

Last night was a fantastic success. We had 20 people attend and a lot of fun was had.

Pics coming soon.

We'll be running another soon, I'll post any updates here (on the LAN Parties forum).
