It’s been double-checked and confirmed: the first meeting of the Oxford Game Network is being held on the 29th June 2010 at 19:00 at the Jam Factory. Feel free to come along, myself and Graeme will probably be lurking somewhere around and it’s really not that large a space so you’ll find us easily. Drinks at the Jam Factory are ludicrously expensive although it’s handy to keep in mind that you’re also paying for the atmosphere.
We will be talking about games, talking about the possibility of setting up a regular gaming event thing. Like a LAN party. I like LAN parties, for their brilliant social aspects, however every LAN party I’ve hosted so far seems to have had some significant flaw to it, be it the one or two people crouched in a corner secretly watching porn, or a crippling dependence on Counter-Strike as the only game anyone agrees to play together.
Incidentally, I do have a spare gift copy of Counter-Strike: Source on Steam somewhere, if anyone wants it it’s still up for grabs.
There’s not much more I can say about it really; other than that Otaku fans are also welcome, and there’s always the option of Anime screenings at some point in the future.
On an unrelated note, it’s now possible to buy a virtual english flag for your Xbox LIVE Avatar, and I find this quite distasteful, for a number of reasons.
