LARC - Media & Gaming Lab: Media & Gaming Lab Services

Gaming Collection

The Media & Gaming Lab proudly boasts of our PS4, Xbox One, Oculus Rift and a PC vintage game collection as well as a board game collection. These collections are ever-expanding with new titles, such as Lord of the Rings Chess, Cards Against Humanity, What Do You Meme?, or Risk from our board game collection. New titles are added to our gaming collections every quarter.

Additionally, the Media & Gaming Lab has created a tabletop RPG collection (aka "pen and paper" role-playing games). This collection offers core rule books, sets of polyhedral dice, and grid playing mats. Several RPG systems are presently available, including Dungeons & Dragons, Traveler, Genesys, Adventures in Middle-Earth, and Basic Fantasy.

Pod Casting/Mixing Rooms

Students may record and edit projects in our Audiovisual Edit Rooms. Projects range from podcasts to voice-overs to film editing. The AV Edit Rooms are equipped with Adobe Creative Cloud, Final Cut Pro, Avid Media Composer, GarageBand, Audacity, and RedCine X. The rooms are reservable by using the EMS Software  (24 hours in advance). There is a maximum of 4 hours per day a room can be reserved. 

Theater

The Media & Gaming Lab provides light technical support and access to the LARC Theater Room 343. It is an 81 seat capacity, state-of-the-art facility for viewing and presenting. The Lindenwood Film Series is screened at this facility. The Theater is available for reservation by contacting Samantha Kennedy. All events must be scheduled a minimum of three weeks prior to the event and approved.
