Hi everyone! We’re having our first event, the 6n4 Gauntlet, this Friday October 9th at 5:00 PM in BSB-B120 EDIT: It is in BSB-120, not the basement.
The 6n4 Gauntlet is a tournament where each round will be a randomly decided game from the following list of Nintendo 64 games:

• Diddy Kong Racing
• Mario Kart 64
• Goldeneye
• Super Smash Bros
• Perfect Dark
• Super Mario 64

Each game will be a 4-player match with a specific objective and time limit. Bring your own controller if you don’t trust in any plastic that isn’t yours. You can come and hang out for free — bring your portable systems and we’ll play some multiplayer games before and during the tournament. If you want to try your hand at the tournament, it’s a $3 donation to enter, and the winner will take home half of the proceedings. The rest will go to the MDGG for future events.

Hope to see you guys there!

Welcome. Welcome to MDGG. You are one of the 150 who, at Clubsfest, chose, or were chosen, to join one of the finest university gaming groups available. We thought so much of the games we’re going to play, that we’re working on the first event on the campus so thoughtfully provided by our benefactors. I have been proud to call MDGG my group. And so, whether you are here for the Steam group, or passing through to games unknown, welcome to MDGG. It’s more fun here.

Promo Video #1

It got removed from Youtube because of the audio, so I had to go with un-HD Viddler instead

What do you guys think?

News: We has it for u.

1. Our game night was great on Sunday as we played a bunch of very fast-paced, table-flinging rounds of Half-Life 2: Deathmatch. We’ve got some footage to work with for the video, but we’ll probably capture some more video of other games we play like Team Fortress 2, Left 4 Dead, and whatever else might come our way.
2. Our good friends the McMaster LAN Club are having a LAN party this Saturday (August 15th). If you’re available between noon and 6pm on Saturday, swing by MDCL room 1010 with your computer. Games will be provided, so there’s no fear involved. Also, its FREE. Check out their website, or send maclanclub|@|gmail.com any questions you might have. (Sorry I made the address stupid so they won’t get spam)
3. My list  tags have not been set up for CSS properly, so this list looks dumb and far too close to the left sidebar (Sorry!). If it looks ok, I’ve fixed it!
4. Finally, September is coming up quickly, so be sure to set your phasers to AWESOME because this year is going to rock!

Thanks,

-Andrew
