This page is an archive of events which took place in the Fall 2001 semester. The OGS also maintains a listing of current and upcoming events, including both tournaments and meetings.
OGS hosted Super Smash Bros. Melee and Super Puzzle Fighter 2 in Giant Eagle Auditorium during finals week to help ease the stress level on campus. We are, however, not sure if it worked because there were many intense, stressful games of Super Puzzle Fighter 2 at the end. But, everyone had fun! Many thanks to SDC for funding this event by providing food and prizes. Thanks also to Deanna Rubin for lending OGS her copy of Super Puzzle Fighter 2.
Congratulations to Mike Piatek, Samuel Pinansky, and Mark Schmit, who placed first, second, and third, respectively. The competition was a fun one, with a few surprises, and a very close round played by Mike and Sam (246 perfects vs. 245 perfects). Look for more DDR events in the future!
Cyert 100 was packed full of gamers on Monday. To start off, games of Unreal Tournament and Quake 3 were set up on the G4s in the back room. While the PCs lacked sound drivers, a few people went in there and played some Starcraft. I managed to play some Quake 3 and Marathon in between setting up computers for everyone else. Then, Myth II was set up on a few computers and a round of that was played. I was the first to die 8).
More OGS people showed up, and we had quite an insane game of Bolo - "DEAD PILL! GET IT!!!" and "WE ONLY HAVE 3 BASES LEFT! AAAAHHHH!" were heard all over the cluster. After that, everyone joined up the game of UT that was still going on, and then the event ended precisely at 6pm.
Thanks guys, I really had fun 8).
A solid six hours of Dance Dance Revolution excitement on two TV's. Over 50 people showed up throughout the afternoon and evening to take part in the fun. In addition to DDR 4th Mix, players also danced to DDR 3rd Mix, DDR Extra Mix, and Disney Rave (to be released in the U.S. as Dance Dance Revolution Disney Mix). The atmosphere was always social and casual, without any competitive pressure. Many of those who showed up had never played before, but experienced players happily stepped aside to teach the newbies how to play.
The popular response to this social event leaves the door open for a tournament later this year.
Thanks to Ross Higashi for taking pictures of the event. They are available on OGS Alpha.
