It's that time again - Midsouth Gaming Classic 2006 (12/20!!!)

[icbrkr]

While it's not an official, rent out a convention center sorta thing, it is the semi-whenever annual get together at the icbrkr pad. While we haven't worked out this year's activities, I'm sure it's going to look like this:

1. Play video games
2. Eat
3. Play video games
4. Fire up a classic computer and copy stuff
5. Play video games
6. Etc.

It's at the recently house of Ice, and there's places to crash upstairs.

Need more convincing?

Here's some of the last shows:

I will be there, signing books. Just kidding. I mean, I'll be there, but I won't be signing books. Unless you want one.

Also, we are expecting 17,000-20,000 people.

For a second, I thought you said "singing books," and envisioned a bizarre new evolution in the genre of talking books.

I'll be there, probably in my usual comatose state, but then, since when do I ever show up for a gaming event well-rested?

[icbrkr]

Anyone is welcome to crash here the night before or arrive 'early' (whenever that is).

Rob/Earl - You guys have taken me around gamehunting in your respective towns, it's about time that I returned the favor. Get here early Saturday and we can spend some time doing it.

I picked up a 360 over the weekend. Grimbal is going to bring his 360 for gaming linkup.

So when they're hooked up, do they become an Xbox 720?

It does.. and it starts skating down ramps and doing ollies.

Update on this...

For those of you that planned on going last month, you may remember that it was called off due to snow. Well. .it's back! Jan 20th. Be there or be .. I guess not there.

Between Ice and I we will have all three nextgen consoles there (Wii, Xbox 360, and PS3). We're also going to have some serious Guitar Hero action going on, and (no doubt) lots of retro videogaming and retroputing going on as well.

And it's free, so get off your lazy asses and come out.

[grimbal]

I'm going to be there.

I'll be bringing my Guitar Hero controller too so a few jam sessions are sure to break out. :guitar:

Wii and 360 controllers (in case we need them).

Steel Battalion for the Xbox (so if you ever wanted to try it before buying it now's your chance).

Might bring the Master System demo unit just for the heck of it.

Bump ... this is TO-MARRRR-OW!

Anyone who wants to come hang out is more than welcome to join us. Approximately 2 hours E/NE of Tulsa, OK. Nice drive, nice people, good eats, good people.

The wife is making spagetti ..c'mon.. that should be enough for ANYONE to come this direction.
