EVAC is on, 4-8 PM in the Union Cinema (Level 5 Union House, next to the Unibar) this week, despite what you may have been told. The WP Rogers room lies in the future, but here’s a pretty photo of the man in anticpation, anyway.

To honour the great man’s (and his great beard’s) work on parasites, this week will have the Street Fighter scrubs sponging off of some of Adelaide’s finest players, learning the moves and strategies of the game, as well as all the usual EVAC hijinks. For details, check out the forums.

*The term “variety of games” may be subject to liberal interpretation, it all depends.

EVAC 5/12/2010 – Triumphant Return

Thom Diment — Thu, 04 Feb 2010 22:44:50 +0000

EVAC is back in 2010, even before the university season, how’s that for organised? The Union Cinema location was found by almost everybody, including some new faces, for TvC and Naruto UNS action. Don’t get too comfy, though, we’re somewhere else next week, so keep your eyes peeled on the site and the forums.

EVAC 04/12/2009 – Holiday Round 2

Neil Golding — Tue, 01 Dec 2009 00:54:08 +0000

EVAC will be having it’s second Holiday session this Friday (4th of December), with Rock Band 2, Street Fighter, New Super Mario Wii and much more. We’ll be in the Harry Medlin rooms, however due to the time of year, there is a chance we may be shuffled down the hall into the Margaret Murray room. This alternative room is the one with the glass entrance wall. EVAC runs from 4 to 9pm.

You can find the discussion topic for this session here. Feel free to discuss what you’d like to see or play!

EVAC 06/11 Recap and onwards!

Neil Golding — Sat, 28 Nov 2009 10:43:36 +0000

Last EVAC saw us shuffled into a different room at the last minute. We were unable to play New Super Mario Wii due to unforeseen circumstances, but we still had a good time with Guitar Hero 5, Street Fighter IV and Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles for Gamecube. Read more for a few images.

Next EVAC is still in the works, but this post will be updated once it’s organised in full. Keep your eyes peeled!

As usual, you can find the weekly thread here!

EVAC 06/11 Recap and 27/11 Planning

Neil Golding — Fri, 13 Nov 2009 07:05:28 +0000

Last week’s EVAC was a hit as you may have seen in the previous news post, having its first serious Street Fighter IV Double Elimination Tournament. Along side this, we also saw Rock Band 2 making an appearance, along with some classic PS2 games. Read behind the cut for more info on EVAC 27/11!

So, it turns out that the Wine Centre have finally gotten in touch with us, and we have the rooms booked from the 27th of November through to the 11th of December! That’s three more weeks of gaming fun, with a two-week intermission. The room is now booked until 9, but that is the absolute deadline – we will need to be completely and utterly packed up and out of the room before the clock strikes, so an 8:30 pack up is probably prudent. Meetings will still start at 4, naturally.

Hope to see plenty of you folks there!
