The PC Gamer Showdown

By Jim Rossignol on June 12th, 2008 at 7:04 pm.


There’s no adequate way to follow up that previous story, so I’m just going to post something from our chums – and occasional employers – over at PC Gamer UK: THE PC GAMER SHOWDOWN. It’s a LAN event to be held in the UK, sponsored by our PC Gamer chums, and LG for some reason.

500 hardcore gamers will battle over a high-speed network at the awesome Stoneleigh Park venue on 27th and 28th of September in a bid to get their hands on thousands of pounds worth of cash prizes.

Gosh. If you’re interested in spanking Ross, Tim and the others at Team Fortress 2 (which they’re all practicing furiously on at the moment in a desperate attempt to avoid utter destruction) then you can sign up here.

  11. Jim and I were talking about doing an RPS-mini-con-LAN-thing at some point in the future. Would that be interesting to anyone?

    Location would probably be highly influential on interest levels… That said, if it’s in range, some nice network kit might be available to me if that helps.

    report

  14. I fully support any RPS mini-con event!

    I think the main impediment to going to the PCG event was having to take your own computer, for me at least.
