The machine has been replaced by some lame touchscreen game :mad:


That's been there a while, the shooting game went last week and was replaced by some tennis game.

:frown: am i the only one without an interview still?
Good luck with your interviews all. If anyone wants to catch a pint or something on the Sunday night, let me know :smile:
I may point out that the touchscreen games machine in emma bar is fiendishly difficult. I find it remarkable that 10 cambridge students have yet to make that thing pay out (or that those said students haven't stopped putting money in.)

Bloody addictive.

Good luck with your interviews guys, Emma rocks. I may be hanging around at the beginning of december so I'll be on the look out for interviewees!

I've never actually visited the college, tell me more about it so i can look forward(ish) to my interview in december :redface:

I'm slightly curious as well. Like one of the colleges at UCSD is former army barracks but it has a nerd playroom full of the latest technology. They try to make up for the industrial nature with entertainment, lol.

I asked and got told it was fine for me to stay more than one night.. I guess if you ask if you can stay the whole month of December they might be a little less enthusiastic about saying yes! :biggrin:

What day is your interview? Good Luck!!!

I'm soo nervous that I'll end up either sounding really pretentious or really dim. lol. My surfer chick accent doesn't do me any favors either. :smile:

Who's that? Gary, Sam, Fran, myself and others have had it pay out like 4 or 5 times. Spot the Difference is the way to go for the money.
I so totally don't know you, and I don't think you know me either. How mysterious!

I keep randomly hearing about freshers I haven't met yet. Curious.

Spot the difference is hard - the new quiz machine doesn't have it. Snakes and Ladders is pretty cool though.

I'll PM you - don't want to put the date for the forums to see.

Well I can only invisage the worst case scenario at the moment, eeek!

How new is new? We played it last week - Spot the Difference Deluxe. You're a Bio Natsci yes? I haven't met you but heard mention of you possibly. North Court > South Court.

Do you read the ROAR! thing? I was ducked the weekend of bar extension. Come see freshers play, you'll know who I am then.
