UMSU Student Group Recruitment Week! Games on Campus Kiosk – January 20th

karo — Sat, 14 Jan 2012 19:03:06 +0000

As you may know, our presence at the University of Manitoba is represented by the Games on Campus student group. At the beginning of every regular session term, UMSU organizes a week long student group recruitment drive. For the January 2012 term, that recruitment drive starts next Monday, with our own Games on Campus kiosk held on Friday. We’ve been doing this gig for a few years now so if you’ve been around long enough, you’ll be familiar with this semi-annual event.

If you happen to be on Campus for January 20th, you can find the Games on Campus Kiosk on First Floor University Center. There’s no real method to which desk we get on the 20th, so you’ll have to do a little searching from there but in the past we’ve been stationed right beside the Tim Horton’s.

At the Kiosk we’ll be demoing some of the games we play and everyone is welcome to come and enjoy them with us. Expect to see our most popular games like Super Street Fighter 4 Arcade Edition (ver.2012), Ultimate Marvel Vs. Capcom 3, King of Fighters XIII, BlazBlue Continuum Shift 2, Mortal Kombat 9 and some stuff that gets less play like Tetris Attack and maybe even a little Hokuto no Ken if I can help it. We’ll have our usual equipment provided along with some controllers so there’s no reason to bring your own unless you want to!

We encourage you to come down, bring a friend and play some games. Come meet the staff and see what Chip Damage and Games on Campus are all about. Hope to see some new faces for 2012!

Soul Calibur 5 Launch Tournament, February 4th!

karo — Fri, 13 Jan 2012 04:38:32 +0000

Winnipeg’s Namco and 3D fighter fans are in for a treat with next month’s release of the highly anticipated fighter Soul Calibur 5. With that in mind, Chip Damage is proud to announce Winnipeg’s first Soul Calibur 5 tournament held on February fourth at the U of Manitoba GSA Lounge! Like all of our launch tournaments, the Chip Damage Soul Calibur 5 Launch tournament will have free entry. Our tournament rules are still largely the same as they have been for similar games in the past:

All tournament matches are to be held on the Sony PlayStation 3
Prizes (to be announced) are awarded to the top three competitors
Double elimination tournament bracket
Matches are best two of three with rounds running best of five
As of this post, no characters aside from custom characters are currently banned*

* We realize that Dampierre is a pre-order bonus so if he cannot be obtained through means other than a game pre-order, he will most likely be banned. Stay tuned for more on that as the game launch comes closer.

For details on all our tournament rules please visit our forums post here. Feel free to take part in the community discussion about this event on our forums. Doors open at 1:00 for casuals and the tournament starts at 4:00. As usual, you can register at the venue on the day of the tournament. Details are subject to change, so make sure to check back again in the coming weeks!

Everyone is welcome and we hope to see you there!
