Right I’ve set up a facebook group thing, for Irish fighting game meetups (super generic I know)
The aim is to keep people informed and to inform new (probably more casual) people about The Irish fighting game scene North and South. And East. And West.
So If your an Irish fighting game fan who’s a bit lonely and looking for heads to bust check it.
From Busaras (the Central Bustation of Dublin) It is a 5-10 minute walk towards and past Liberty Hall (tallest building) and down by the Quays till you get to the Ha’penny Bridge.
The Nearest LUAS Stop is Jervis
From the Connelly Train station Take Talbot street until you reach O Connel Street and head south to reach the quays. Follow the Quays east until you hit the ha’penny bridge and its down a side street to your right.
This is the bridge. From this Angle The Xgc Centre would be on the Left hand side.
If you ever happen to be in dublin and fancy some games, some of the people from boards.ie will probably meet up with you regardless of the day of the week it is.
They are a friendly lot.
Also:
Lanpartie.ie are having a get together for 48 hours, lots of call of duty 4 and other FPS stuff.
But there are also holding a Street Fighter IV competition, ?20 to enter.
so the prize should be big.

Hi, I am from NYC and am staying at the Temple Bar Hotel from this sunday until next Saturday. Looks like i miss the weekly stuff on Saturdays, do people just casually come and go and play at he Extreme Gaming Cafe, Liffey Street Dublin. just randomly?
Almost Every Saturday between 2 and 6pm, there is a street fighter session in the XGC.
Directions are above.
Just enter the shop and head to the back and go up the stairs, the street fighter players will immediately be obvious and will help you out.
This wednesday the 17th and hopefully following wednesdays, the SF players will be there also.
This Saturday the 20th for a change a session is being held in Co.meath in Dunboyne, Information is available on the facebook group and on the boards.ie forum.
If you can’t make any of those, I suggest you join boards.ie and post a message in our section (linked below) Some of the dublin (or maybe even sligo) based players may be able to meet up with you.
Glad you Got some games in the end, despite the awkward timing. The players here are always willing to accomadate. I don’t live in Dublin myself unfortunatly.
Anyway World Game Cup in on in Cannes this week and Ireland are sending a 14 man contingent.
