<p>I noticed that UCLA seems to have a lack of video gaming organizations around campus. So I was wondering if anyone would like to join a game club if I made it? There's going to be an unofficial meeting at Ackerman Union at 8 PM near Panda Express on November 22. The meeting will be short and only serves to measure how many people would be interested in joining the organization. Also Heroes of Newerth Beta keys will be given out at the meeting if you want one. </p>
<p>For those of you who don't know, Heroes of Newerth is basically a DoTA type game with a completely new engine. The game is currently in closed beta right now so if you want a key to try out this completely new game please ask me about it. I am currently the campus representative for S2 games and will also be having tournaments probably at Game-On or some other places. </p>
<p>There will be more information after the club is started in January. The Heroes of Newerth stuff is just a bonus goodies for the Game Club. The meeting held at Panda Express will focus mainly on Game Club.</p>
<p>If you can't make it and are still interested I'll take your name down so please email me at <a href="mailto:raiju@ucla.edu">raiju@ucla.edu</a></p>
<p>Pfft, play League of Legends instead, I find it more appealing than Heroes of Newerth. If this does get some sort of following, I might come. Only if it does though.</p>
<p>I like the idea of a gaming club, but I’m curious as to how the meetings in general would be like… other than playing video games all the time, cause that gets exhausting after awhile. (Really, I’ve tried.)</p>
<p>Also, I’m almost a strictly single player RPG gamer… which is quite hard to do in groups… (Unless you know a way to integrate that… lol, group mod making? hahaha, I’m terrible at mod making.)</p>
<p>I did this at my high school a while back. </p>
<p>If you need something more than just playing games, you could look at some of the Gaming charities out there. I know there is one where they organize tournaments and invite pros and whatnot to come out and raise funds to buy videogame stations at children’s hospitals for terminally ill patients to help them cope. </p>
<p>That makes the club sound more than just a group of people wanting to play games together.</p>
<p>It’s mainly a group to link gamers together. There won’t really be any game playing at the meetings. We’ll be focusing on raising money for things like child play and holding tournaments for the more hardcore folks.</p>
