~ Kelly, Library Media Specialist There has been some confusion over the last few weeks about what kind of equipment we have available in the Lyons New Media Centre and what the rules are around usage of said equipment.
Let's see if we can break it down a bit, shall we? ~ by Kelly, Library Media Specialist We've recently had a few gamers ask about whether or not we were going to install World of Warcraft, Overwatch or Starcraft II on the gaming PCs at Lyons.
The short-short version is, sorry, but we're not. At one time, we had World of Warcraft and Starcraft II but then a while back, Blizzard/Battle.net changed how we access their games with a new game client. In order to install the games, we need an account to tie the licenses to, and frankly, because of that and a few other complications, we've decided it's not something that we can do. As a fellow Blizzard fan, I do apologize! It breaks my heart that we can't have these games here at Lyons for you. Look at it this way, though: 2 hours in the games room would never be enough for a decent dungeon-run or PvP session! ;) Hope this answers the questions at least! For the Horde! ~ Kelly, Library Media Specialist You've been asking for them.
We've been listening. PS4 and Xbox One have arrived! Hold up! Before you scramble to book your time on these systems, you need to know something. These new consoles are ONLY available on Gaming Station #1. Here's the breakdown of what's available on each station:
Xbox One
~ Kelly, Library Media Specialist Alrighty! We think that the gaming PCs are now up and running. Thanks to the IT crew for checking this out and getting us running again.
And thanks to our gamers for their continued patience! GAME ON! ~ Kelly, Library Media Specialist Just a quick heads up that our two new gaming PCs are currently unavailable. There appears to be something wrong with the login sequence, so we've put in a problem report with IT. We're hoping to get this situation rectified swiftly.
Stay tuned! |
