Mad March Bash

Today was the day of the Mad March Bash. This follows on from the Christmas bash we had at, er, Christmas, and has pretty much the same format. With a treasure Hunt too.

We had to use a different lab for the FragFest, but this did mean that we could have more systems, with 32 players taking part in mammoth Counterstrike action.

Network Gaming Action – but the only things moving are mice and keyboards

We tried using the Buzz quiz, and that was a great success. At Counterstike I got shot every time, but with Buzz I actually managed to win one contest. Go me.

Getting the Buzz

The food was the usual Pizza, fizzy drinks and afters. Including  (of course) Easter eggs.

Meat Feast was still the most popular…

We actually had a winner of the Treasure Hunt. The team “The Nuzzling Badgers” managed to find every single cunningly hidden tag. Even the very high one.

Now, that’s a prize worth winning.

The Dance Mats were popular as ever.

..as was Rock Band.

Thanks to everyone who came along, I think a good time was had. Now we start preparing for the Grand Finale Midsummer Bash.

There are some more pictures on Flickr. I’ve tagged them with hull2009madmarchbash.

That party was good people :)

I was thinking, wouldn't the ultimate way of cheating in Rockband if you were the singer, simply be playing the song you are playing through a speaker and hold the microphone next to it?

I'm not 100% for Rockband...

[Voice of reason]

The microphone only detects the vocals of the song. I thing you'd lose points during the obligatory guitar solo.

Sorry, I have a chip on my shoulder 'cause; businesmen drink my wine aheh.
