Gaming Society

XtraFalcon

I'm going to start in WIT in the next few weeks and I was wondering if the Gaming Soc is still around as a lot of the details on the website don't really give any info - I was told that WITless gamers is no longer around but I was wondering if there was another Club/Soc which is involved in Gaming - thank you in advance.

MitchKoobski

WITless Gamer are gone with a while.

There was another Gaming Society for the last 2 or 3 years but it began with PC Gaming only (just met up in one of the computer rooms). Didn't see or hear much of them last year so I don't think its active atm.

I was looking at joining it myself this year and know theres none

I wonder will someone might make a go at it this year ?

GarethBah

sounds like a good plan

i only play games on PC tho

RoyalMarine

i only play on pc too, but im very interested in joining / helping organise this society

Aoifey!

On that topic actually, there's a gaming night in Revolution on the 2nd of September, I saw a Facebook event for it.

I used to manage the WIT Gamers Soc. before I left, so if you have any questions please feel free to ask.

MitchKoobski

Anyone can have a go at setting up a society if they can't find one they like or one they're looking for.

Heya,

The lads at G4x are trying to organise events at some stage during the college year im told, http://www.facebook.com/G4Xonline

But in regards setting up a society I dont think they are going that far (since afaik, none of them are in college - just running college events sorta thing). If I were you I would pop on and talk to flanders about it on their facebook.

On the other hand, Myself and a few friends who run the Poker Soc. out there, Would also be interested in helping/setting up an actual gaming society.

Lacoona

If there is no gaming society I would be willing to set one up, I'd need some help as my experiences are based around PC games. Anyone interested let me know

XtraFalcon

I think we could all contribute something to the Soc if we try to set one up - I'd like to at least try with some people to set it up - after all I'm sure that most people in WIT have some sort of gaming device.

Lacoona

I run the poker society in the WIT, it could I suppose be part of the gaming society in a way, but yes I agree, lots of people could contribute which would be great!

TrustedApple

I think it be great if we got a gameing Society set up because i do think there is a opening for it

I am kind of a pc gamer my self but play a bit of both xbox and PS3

Thornography

Well, After the dust settles from the first few days back to college, We should all get together, and get something done.

presume they mean the sports hall? although it was in the auditorium for us last year. the sports hall is beside the bar and gym, way off over to the left if you come in off the cork road.

there'll be plenty of people around to ask anyway.

I'm going into SSD year 2 & a myself & a few of my classmates were on about a gaming society on Monday. I'd love to see one started but wouldn't have the time myself to set it up, but would definitely become a member if one was to start. I play PS3 mostly & a bit of pc & xbox. I wouldn't call myself good by any means but I do enjoy playing. Online I mostly play FIFA, Bad company 2.

Myself and 2 friends went to the clubs & societies office on Thursday, spoke to the chap in the office who was very helpful & got all the forms to go about it. The lads have to meet with a few people from the college in next week or 2 to speak about our plans. I probably won't be involved myself directly but will give a hand if needed. Its not definite that it will happen yet but we are hoping that the college will accept the request & the club can go ahead as the ideas that have been put about seem to be very good. I'll post up here if there is more information in the next few weeks.

Dunnie1982

So here's the latest on the gaming society.
The lads hope to be set up in time for clubs & societies days next week, College Street campus on Monday 26th and the Cork Road campus Tuesday 27th. If we are there will be a table with more information where you can talk to the lads and join if you are interested. The Society now has a twitter, Facebook & official website, so visit us for more news and information as it happens.

PlayStation 3, PC & Xbox 360. We don't know what games yet, it will probably depend on what the members want. We will be in the college street campus tomorrow and the main campus on Tuesday for clubs and societys day, where will have membership forms and we should be able to answer any questions which you may have.

Soap MacTavish

Will the club be based up at college street campus aswell?

Dreadful

Yeah, I'd love to set up Gaming Soc.
Im heavy FPS and MMO player. Such as Battlefield series and Wow.
I also have a spare room which could fit up to 8-14 pcs alone, plus xboxs/ps3s etc.

Anyone who is more interested about this give me a text on 0863221917. Name is Andy

Main Campus only for the time being anyway. Anyone in either campus is welcome to join, as with all clubs & societys. Today at the clubs & societys day in college street we had a good turnout & we will be in the main campus tomorrow between 11 and 3 in the F corridor.

Thanks to everyone for showing up on Monday & Tuesday, we really appreciate the interest in the club. People were mostly positive about us & complimented the PlayStation setup, even those who weren't interested in gaming. Adam should be emailing everyone who joined in the next few days to let them know about our first Meeting/Gaming night. Anyone who may have missed us on the day & are interested in joining up please contact the clubs & societys office.

This sounds interesting...

It's a shame that this might be my final year at WIT.

I'm in the third year of SSD (Small world eh?) and unless I do the add-on, I'll be done.

The scheduled start of the gaming society in D02 tomorrow ( Tuesday 4th ) has been postponed. A meeting regarding the gaming society is scheduled to take place in room F04 ( The business building with the Spar shop in the Cork Road Campus ) at 5:30 on Thursday the 6th of October.

You don't want to go down that route for second year mate, trust me.I'd basically be feeding you to the sharks. The lecturer's are no fool's for second year and will sniff it out. Then we'll both be screwed.

Just study like a crazy mofo and you'll be fine.
