If you missed the event last night, Chip Damage held it’s first major streaming event. Although it was just a test, the results were something far better than what we could have hoped for.

So if you weren’t able to get in on the action at the event or were to busy to load our stream last night, do not fret, it’s all archived. Check below for the 2 parts and all 3 hours of last night’s successful gaming event. Congratulations to the winner who I won’t spoil if you have yet to watch.

Check it out below and be sure to check back at http://live.chipdamage.com for future live events coming soon.

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!

We are extending our best birhtday wishes to our Games on Campus student group President, Jason Lam! Please come down to the Science Lounge tonight and join Jason to play some of his favorite fighters like Soul Calibur IV and BlazBlue!

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!
