Can I suggest some Rock Band at some point on Sat?

I hate the guitar but the drums and singing are great craic. Whenever I played the "guitar" I'd just get confused because my fingers would want to fret the actual proper chords. Such a headwreck. :mad:

Ah g'wan

I thought I saw it a few days ago...

Also, I didn't realise steam was saving game files to the cloud until now. Was in a retro mood, played some HL2.

Do squareeyes have pc's as well as xboxes?

Ok, I should really stop posting :pac: or I really will sound like a shill (honestly, I'm a big game fan and I DO NOT/am not authorized to post for squareyes in an official capacity)but squareyes IS a PC gaming centre.
There are NO xboxes (though a conversion of one of the Rock Band rooms could be in the works). People think there are xboxes, when in fact each of the PCs has a 360 controller plugged into it,as a fair percentage of customers, esp younger ones will refuse point blank to play any games without a gamepad. It works well for some console ports too.

Nope, as above, I'm not posting in an official/authorized capacity. Been gaming for ~15 years though, and I do happen to work there, so I don't mind providing basic info

Although I did punt out the cheeky Roma couple who walked in when the place was empty one sun to try and 'make use' of the comfy leather chairs in the back room *facepalm*

You wouldn't throw lil old me out would you? *flutters eyelashes, offers cookies*

Ah so that explains it.

Id love to get into arma II tho, that fugitive mod seems like great fun, but until then il just have to own all ye noobs in COD.

Any here play the new battlefield on the xbox, recently picked it up, is it any good?

Would you guys ever have a midweek meet? I can never make any events on a weekend due to work commitments, but would love to go to one that happens during the week!

We used to go into the computer labs in GMIT and install C.S on as many machines as possible and play mammoth sessions - from 9-5 usually, until they kicked us out and banned games completely - really only because you'd always get one feckwit who would shout and roar all the time.

Yeah we could np! This Sat just happened cause one person was going down already. I'm sure there are plenty more peeps that would be in the same boat

baldshin · 08-07-2010 11:41pm

Not sure if i'll tag along to this particular meet-i'd be the annoying guy constantly dying and asking what button does what! i'm more of a sports/retro gamer,though i do love a bit of rockband-drums or guitar for me!

the same thing was happening in NUIG. this year my brother was doing a masters in physics but he knows all the 4th physics crowd (who have their own comp suite) and he got them all addicted to Soldier of Fortune 2. so they'd be playing SOFII all day, having a big LAN game. then one day, the head of the physics dept came in and saw they were all playing games and went ballistic at them

disappointed i'm not going to be there saturday

last bus leaves at 6.10pm so it's not really worth my while going down. might come down another week. any idea on when the LAN will be and where?

Oh score! Lets definately organise one sometime - would love a proper mammoth session - does anywhere do an all night deal? I know Wired used to.

Haven't played a PC shooter in ages though - they're terrible on a laptop with a trackmouse!

Oh I love those things! We were the first year ever to actually get to know all the others - i.e. 1st years through til 4th year, because the majority of the guys were all in playing. At one point we took up 2 labs with maybe about 20 people. Now THAT was a good day.

then why not get a USB mouse? they're cheap enough and you don't really need one of them gaming mouses, though a mouse with a scroller is essential for FPS's

i was wondering should we get in touch with CompSoc in NUIG? i know they have a few LANs going and Xboxs/PS's set up in the college on monday nights during the college year.
