|
Greetings, gamers!
I'll keep it brief, since I sent out an e-mail containing this information, but in any event!
LAN War XIV will be April 5-6 (NOT Mar. 29-30, as previously stated. This is due to a conflict with StompFest in Indianapolis) in Briscoe Quad's Student Activity Room. Admission will be , which goes towards a raffle ticket for regular drawings, as well as tournaments with prizes, food, drinks, and free entry into the Twinkie-Eating Contest. Registration will be open soon, so check back for your chance to pre-register and ensure you and your group get seats together! PS-- THERE WILL BE INTERNET!
Console Chaos is the new event that will be an all-console competition. Tournaments featured in the areas of Smash Bros. Brawl, Halo 3, Call of Duty 4, and MANY more. This event will now take the place of the LAN War, on March 29-30th in the same location as the LAN War, Briscoe's SAR.
Team Fortress 2 nights all this semester! Wednesday nights from 7-10 will be happy hour on the IUCGC Team Fortress 2 server, at 129.79.109.123:27015. Be sure to play during these hours and be my medic!
We apologize for the confusion involving the date switch. On another hand, give stompfest.com a visit.

Fall Event Update: Rock Band!
|
|
|
|
Hey hey hey!
As many of you now know, the IUCGC will be hosting its inaugural Rock Band: Battle of the Bands this December 5th at 7:30pm. The event will be hosted in the Fine Arts building on IU's campus, in room 015. The event will be judged by members of our community, and prizes will be awarded to the winners, including a free guitar lesson courtesy! Participation is free, and you will be judged on appearance (rock attitude and accuracy), performance (how hard you rock), and your score in the game. In order to sign up, merely show up with your band or alone, and we'll get you in one! Spread the word, this is going to be a great chance to test your skills at Rock Band!
We would also like to thank our sponsors. 99.1FM WIUX LP Bloomington, IU's student-run radio station, is providing a lot of support, so thank them! Roadworthy Guitar and Amp is providing REAL rock band swag, like guitar straps, strings, etc., so a thanks is due there as well!

IDS LAN War coverage! Check it out!
|
|
|
|
Friends,
Pete Stuttgen, a photographer for the IDS came by the LAN War a number of times to take photographs for a piece he put together for this Friday's Indiana Daily Student. I think it's worth checking out! Pete took some great photos, so if you get the chance, write him an e-mail and tell him how great the piece is! You can get a physical copy of the piece today, Friday, November 2nd, anywhere on IU's campus, OR you can check it out from the Web at http://www.idsnews.com/news/featurecontent/multimedia/LAN%20War%202007/index.html
Again, let Pete know how great it is and thank him for helping to raise awareness of the Club! Rock on, Pete!

LW 13 Wrap-Up!
|
|
|
|
Hello to everyone!
First off, I would like to say thanks to all of our attendees of LAN War XIII. The staff is very pleased with how things went, and we all hope you were too! If so, let us know, and if not, also let us know :)
Second order of business is to thank our kind sponsors for their donations and contributions. McAlister's Deli, a new addition to the Eastland Plaza, was kind enough to donate 40 6" sandwiches, cut in half, plates, silverware, and about 9 gallons of their world-famous sweet tea. Be sure to stop in sometime and give them some patronage and thank them very graciously on behalf of the club. Ask for Zack to thank him personally!
Bucetto's Smiling Teeth gave us an extremely generous discount for the delicious pizza they provided, so be sure to stop in and say thanks to Mike Heffernan for the goods and the FREE breadsticks!
Stay tuned to this station to find out more about what's going on this year. We have some big plans in store for some interesting events. We're partnering with some other groups, so I expect some fun and great events to be happening. Here's a hint: Rock Band.
Anyway, thanks again to everyone! It was a great event, and we look forward to the Spring LAN War with much anticipation. Don't forget that we'll have Internet next time around, too!
Best,
Hammy
GIGABYTE Thermal Division sent us some things just a moment late, but they still sent us some sweet swag, so be sure to send a thanks to Grammy Hong at grammyhong AT gigabyte-usa DOT com! We'll be giving away what he sent us in the Spring, so be sure to be there, it's good stuff!
Another thanks is in order to EA Sports for providing us with T-shirts, cups, a large stack of Orange Box posters, and two copies of The Orange Box for Xbox 360! This was a great contribution!
And last but not least, we would like to thank all the officers for their hard work in putting on another great event.

LAN War XIII
|
|
|
|
Hello hello hello!
LAN War XIII is just around the corner! Here is the information YOU need to be a part of this momentous event!
When: October 27th-28th (12-3, 27 hours!)
Where: Briscoe Quad Student Activity Room (same as last time)
What to bring: Computer, headphones (no speakers!), games, mouse/keyboard, and a pwnage attitude.
What to expect: 5 tournaments, voted on by registrants; up to 3 projectors with consoles for some Gears, Halo, RS:V, Guitar Hero, WHATEVER! Sandwiches provided by McAllister's Deli and pizza provided by Bucceto's! A Twinkie-eating contest, back again to assault your lower digestive system; THE FIRST ANNUAL LAN WAR COSTUME CONTEST! (prizes awarded); a dance-off? Who knows! We'll, once again, be providing dinner and drinks (with probable seconds and thirds). And on that note, if a large # of people want Bawls at the event, start a thread on the forums and let us know! We'll do our best to make that happen!
Cost: Fifteen dollars to register on our site, payable via PayPal, credit card, or if you're a walk-in, at the door.
When you can register: NOW
Register using the LAN War! link above! Sorry for the confusion!
IMPORTANT, PLEASE READ
Counter-Strike: Source. Many of you play it, many of you want it as an official tournament. Here's how things work.
We do not offer Internet access at our events (yet), due to the fact that we allow all individuals, regardless of student status, into the event. This means that unregistered machines on the network can cause major nightmares for the IT guys, so we just don't do it. It's too much of a liability.
An official CS:S server from Valve costs somewhere in the range of way too expensive, even if we pooled all the money from the past six years. They won't cut us a deal on renting a server for the event, so we're in sort-of a fix. This leaves us one option: Steam. The beloved digital delivery service that allows you to play Steam-based games, such as CS:S, TF2, and others, is a fickle lover. The folks at the Steam HQ are notorious, and I mean NOTORIOUS when it comes to minuscule updates the night before or morning of the LAN War. What this means is that it's nigh impossible to coordinate every attendee of the event turning off their machine at the same time in order to have everyone on the same version of Steam the day-of.
STEPS EVERYONE NEEDS TO TAKE FOR STEAM TO WORK ON SATURDAY:
1. Set Steam to "Remember" your password.
2. Update Steam between the hours of 11:00PM and 12:00AM MIDNIGHT the night before.
3. Close Steam THEN turn off your computer between those hours! Please do this!
/End rant.
If you have any questions, concerns, comments, or quips, you can reach any of us by e-mail (click the "Staff" link to find addy's) or PM on the forums.
