Any CompSoc members here?

Hey guys Colum here Vice-Auditor.

Next monday should be a bit more orginised since we never used the education buildiing befor and it was a bit cramp etc. So next week we will have the switch set up for laptop games, and the usual xboxes for halo and rock band.

No were not x-box fan boys (shane hates Microsoft) and i hate consoles, but the use of x-boxes are due to variety of games on them, and most people do play them, also we only have the rockband and guitar hero for the x-boxes.

Squareyes was a blast, but due to me it wasn't well organised on what games to play and to hold a mini tournament for the last hour, which was planned. However the Gaming Coordinator will be at the next squareyes event (Tue 13th afaik) and it will be more organised.

Next week for the monday mashup we have booked another room for a Linux tutorial who ever is interested in going and at the same time and will last longer the Mashup in another room. Further details will be emailed out.

The Linux tutorial will be in the the education building were we had the Monday mashup last week. The console's/LAN will be in a place called "The Space" it is upstairs of Aras Mc Leinn(sp?), there will be directions this time

Also for anyone who signed up to a CompSoc account with shane last monday, I would like to bring your attention to https://compsoc.nuigalway.ie/boards/ a discussion on what you want compsoc to do for you, and general chit chat about anything to do with computers.

It's usually been terminal-based (a PuTTY job). Feel free to kick up a fuss :P

TheCosmicFrog

Ah okay, I've just used PuTTY for connecting to the college UNIX server :P

I'll throw my compsoc questions up here cos I have been too busy* to join yet.

Are Irish students being offered a discount on Windows 7?

Much overclocking going on with you lads/ladies?

Is Halo the main flavour of shooter?:rolleyes:

Who wants to map a network drive on whatever distro I'll be running this week?

Hah cheers, I was mainly trying to see how many Linux zealots are about. Asking a question usually works.

Shane, Compsoc Auditor here. We have a meeting every Monday evening, 7-9pm in the education building, it's the one beside the Civil Eng building, across from the car park outside the Quad.

We usually set up as many Xboxes and projectors as we can get our mitts on. The standard for Halo is very casual, basically anyone who wants a game, plays, it's meant to be fun, not very competitive.

There's a LAN set up there too, so if you want to play on that, bring along your laptop and get stuck in!

Hope to see you next week!

Yo dude.

I can safely say that one of my best friends who's also in the CompSoc is very, very into his Halo and very, very competitive :P I think the same goes for maybe 2-3 others in the soc but most others are just in it for the laugh. I'm sure there will be more "hardcore" gamers at the big lan next month.

VivGrise

sound, ya ill probably come down for a look on Monday with one of the lads from the college, and I might bring a few lads up from Limerick for the big Lan!

Claypigeon

Yeh do, hope they're pc gamers as we're lacking them majorly

Hey all, Monday Mashup isn't on this week on account of the bank holiday, but if you're interested in Bot Wars, let me know by PM and we'll sort you out for a team, also since lanparty.ie has changed, we'll have our own signup sheet online for the LAN party, i'll post here when it's online

So what's the story with COD:MW2? Are many of you going to get it?

I have a new laptop and I'm rearing to play some decent games on it!

Claypigeon

No chance of me getting MW2, dedicated servers are what make FPS plain better multiplayer wise on PC, they're just devolving it into a console game, ew :P

barry181091

Modern Warfare 2 is EPIC !! Well the single player is anyway.

Whats comp soc's stance on p!racy with lan parties and stuff :P ?
