A Flawless Heist

posted by david

Back with a blast, the MSPs swung into action today with their latest event at UWA, “The Ultimate Steal”.  Talks were given, people were wowed, Xboxes were played.

We started off by speaking about the various discounts and freebies available to all Australian uni students (see below for links to these resources), and then spoke about our role at UWA, and our upcoming GameFest event (keep your eyes peeled for details this week).  everyone headed down to the courtyard to the CSSC barbeque.  After that, we ran Halo 3 on 3 xboxes, whiche made for some massively multiplayer mayhem, and had Halo Wars running on another screen for people to try out.

All in all, it was a pretty fun event, and was a good lead up to our major event for the semester: Perth GameFest 2009.

Now, those links:

It’s Not Cheating ($75 Office):

Dreamspark (Free developer tools, like Visual Studio and XNA):

MSDN-AA (Vista, XP, Windows Server, Project and much, much more):

Imagine Cup

Windows Live

Enjoy!  Thanks for attending, and thanks to CSSC for hosting the BBQ and helping to set up. :-)
