About |
| |
|
| |
The Games Society at the University of Newport have organised a gaming event called GS08. It's a general gaming event with PC and consoles being catered for. There'll be a number of console tournaments run on the dedicated tournament machines which anyone is able to enter. |
| |
|
| |
The Games Society have asked us at eFragz to run the PC LAN party section so you can expect all the usual; a well run network, dedicated games servers, fun tournaments, organised games sessions and ever helpful staff on hand. We're really pleased to be able to work with the Games Society in this event because we're hoping for everyone to mix and take in both console and PC sides of the event. |

What do I need to bring? |

1. PC base unit and monitor with all the gubbins including all cables. Don't forget keyboard and mouse! |

2. A four socket extension lead **Important** |

3. Keyboard, mouse and mousemat (a gamepad can also be used for certain games). |

4. 10/100 Mbps Network card (you may already have an onboard card). |
| |
|
| |
5. Headphones **Very important, no speakers will be allowed at the LAN!!** |
| |
|
| |
6. Operating system/drivers disks - essential if Windows has a hissy fit. |
| |
|
| |
7. Pre-installed games - Please ensure all games are installed prior to the LAN as it saves time and hassle (don't forget your game disks needed to play). |
| |
|
| |
8. Money - for entrance fee (unless you've pre-paid)! Also bring some money for food and any other tat that may be on sale. |
| |
|
| |
9. Snacks - pasties, crisps, drinks, sweets, biscuits, sandwiches, pot-noodles, pot-mash, cup-a-soups etc (water boiling facilities will be available). |
| |

10. Sleeping bag and pillow (it's overnight so yo umay want to get 40 winks). |
| |
|
| |
11. A decent size bag to carry all the crap you take to the LAN. |
| |
|
| |
This list is by no means the be all and end all, you'll find as you attend more parties you'll be able to pack up and set up your computer in no time at all and even manage to fit it all in to a shoebox (maybe)!
