who's confirmed so far?

Steyr

Il be there around 7pm, hopefully pints after:D

Asmodean

Sure I found it easy enough to sneak up behind ye with a knife the other day anyway Oh yeah, I went there. haha

Sneaky!! lol

I'll be there from about 7 too! Can't wait to see a few new faces. Had brilliant craic the last time. Then heading for a few jars around half 9/10. All welcome!

Failing that come down on sunday/saturday(tbc) for our first proper event. Should be a big event hopefully we will get about 20+.

The more the merrier, but I will point out that if you're bringing that no of people down at the weekend you may well want to book at least some of the PCs to avoid disappointing anyone - we have 32/33 working gaming PCs at the mo (one has a busted monitor, another I'm sure has been fixed but I can't guarantee it right now), plus the 4 triple screens.
Sat afternoons can be bedlam as I'm sure you know, and Sundays with the 3euro rate can go either way, with a tendency to get busy particularly later in the afternoon.
Esp since the weather now seems to have broken - rainy weekend = busier squareyes, and the schools are still on hols.

I don't want to discourage anyone by any means, but I'd hate for you to organise a mass of people to show up and have some of you hanging around unable to play cause we're full to capacity.

Alternatively, peak times would be from ~2-6pm Sat and about the same Sun, before and after then the ratio of kids drops dramatically

TerrorFirmer

damn you guys. i'll be gone by 7 - unless i managed to stay right through from half 2 till then, don't think i could live with myself though..

stop press - they have dawn of war? god that game sucked away an entire year of my life. best rts ever! company of heroes is a close second, unbelievably awesome game. does anyone else play them? myself and redhairedguy have spent many a lan locked away in a darkened room for hours on end playing both those games. funnily enough coh and dawn of war are the only two games installed on my laptop at the moment...

If you like COH, check out http://www.squareyes.com/index.php?option=com_smf&Itemid=2&board=3.0. There's a small bunch of guys who regularly try to organize casual 4v4, 2v2 etc games, usually fri afternoons, and they're always looking for more folk. The owner plays himself and they have a number of mods/maps installed.
I've been looking to get into a little more RTS myself, and the guys are mad keen on COH.

Yeah theres a few down there now.. was just chatting them. Think they're calling it quits at nine and going to the pub!

TerrorFirmer

It all kinda started about seven. I was there earlier, left, and came back again about half 6. At first, I wasn't quite sure who exactly I was waiting for, and I just couldn't bring myself to casually ask 'hey - are you from the internet?'. But it all worked out, played a good bit of Modern Warfare. Typically, I got a weird computer, which kept crashing at the point in the game where it says 'time is running out'. But still had a fun time.

"Hey are you from the internet?" has been something I've been asking quite a lot of people lately. It's weird.

B00MSTICK

When ye playing again?

Haven't really played in months but up for a bit of a laugh!

Asmodean

Anyone that missed it yesterday don't worry because you'll have loads of time to get in on the action. Having another go on Sunday sure!
Myself and Steyr popped in at 7, played a bit of COD then went down for a few drinks at 9. Played nazi zombies for the first time too, was epic! It was nice to meet a few new faces in there yesterday.
I'm Richiw btw Terrorfirmer, was sitting next to you for a bit when your machine kept crashing.

Eman Resu

Nazi Zombies is a class game mode! And it's great practice for anyone who has to work with the public. (Hordes of braindead ejits trying to fuc< with your head, sound familiar?)

What time are people thinking of going down tomorrow, I was thinking of heading in after the parade, Galway weather permitting!!

Asmodean

Cool stuff I was thinking of heading in around 3/4 and staying on til about 9 or so! What time is the parade over?

skelliser

It starts at 2 so reckon it will be over by 3, so ya, will probably head in for 3.30

Asmodean

Nice one I'll see you in there! Hopefully we'll have a good group together.

Jez i don't know, my confidence took a beating last Wednesday when i was ignored and left by myself..... a weaker minded person probably wouldn't go back again.... but i'm willing to try again :P (yes i know you weren't even there when this happened

)

Asmodean

**** man what happened, I didn't get down there til 7 last time.
