Hello!

Hey everyone!

The next LAN party is going to be the weekend of the 24th to 25th of September. We are anticipating the following large events: Starcraft 2, Minecraft, Team Fortress 2, and Left 4 Dead/Left 4 Dead 2. We will also be playing the following smaller events: Soldat, Track Mania, Rock Band, and Alien Swarm. If you still have suggestions on games to play (free or not) please send suggestions to jbarro3@uic.edu and tom@fatesunited.com. If you want a tournament to exist for a game please find someone to create the bracket and run the tournament. If you just want to have a group of people play a game that is also fine.

Prices will be 5 dollars if you register in advance, on acmlanparty.com or 10 dollars at the door. We hope to see you there!

The hardware group SIG-Build is having its first meeting this Thursday 9/8/11 in SEL 2264 at 5:00pm, which is the room right next to the ACM office. This event can be found on our calendar located at acm.cs.uic.edu/calendar. We will be discussing the state of our projects and our goals for the semester. We will also be using this a a way to gauge the knowledge base of those interested so we know where to start with teaching new members about our projects and computer hardware in general. That being said, those of all knowledge backgrounds are welcome. You can view our project this on our page on the acm website, acm.cs.uic.edu/sigbuild. If you need help getting there you can check the UIC Mega Patherfinder, acm.cs.uic.edu/umpf, to find out where to go and hope to see you there.

Hey everyone.

SIG Game meets Mondays and Wednesdays at 5:30 in 2260 SEL right by the ACM hangout lounge.

If you want to commit full time or just stop on by occasionally to check out our progress that's cool with me.

We already have a game idea under way and hoping to get down to it as soon as possible.

Email me at pjovan2@uic.edu if you have any questions.
