History
EVAC (Extremely Versatile Acronym Club) is the club resulting from the merger of the Adelaide Uni Video Gamers Association (AUVGA) and the Adelaide Japanese Animation Society (AJAS – Adelaide Uni branch). We’re older than the X-Box, but try to keep pretty up-to-date. We are a member of the Adelaide University Clubs Association .
Our goal is to take away stress by providing a fun, safe social atmosphere in which people can enjoy themselves while laying down the smack down in a variety of video games.
Activities
Friday Night Gaming:
What: 4 hours of video games
When: 4-8pm Friday afternoons during uni term time
Where: Various Rooms, Union House, Adelaide Uni.
This is our main activity. Come join in for video games, old and new. EVAC currently owns a Wii, PlayStation 3 and last generations’ PlayStation 2, Xbox and GameCube and people bring their own systems too. All systems have a variety of games, provided we remember to bring them along. We’re getting moved around a lot lately, so check the website each week for our current location.
DO bring your own consoles and games, EVAC couldn’t run without your help!
DO bring a snack to share, sometimes we get hungry!
Tournaments
EVAC has started running tournaments in 2010. These tournaments are based on whatever is popular at the time. Currently, we’re running tournaments for:
- Street Fighter IV
- Miscellaneous Other Games
4th Friday of every month
2nd Friday of every month
Said tournaments are usually double elimination and rule sets are up to the Tournament host’s discretions. So far, they’ve included the best SFIV tournaments in the state, Pacman VS, Street Fighter III: Third Strike and Naruto Clash of Ninja 3.
Other Meetings
Members of EVAC occasionally arrange activities for weekends and holidays on private property. Please be aware that at any such event, the host/organisers can impose additional restrictions as they see fit.
EVAC is an official university of Adelaide club, affiliated with the Clubs Association.
If you’re here looking for anime, we suggest trying Uni SA AJAS at their site , or the new Adelaide Uni Japanese Culture Club for every aspect of Japanese Culture.
