Funtime Friday: Competition

There are some weeks where it’s difficult to project what I’ll be doing on the weekend. Most of the time when I’m writing this column I haven’t slept (like now) and I’m not entirely sure that it won’t actually be the weekend by the time I wake up, making it hard to maintain any plans I might have had.

This weekend, however, isn’t one of them.

Spiky chairs not included.

1500 other gamers … that’s an awfully large figure. I’m desperately hoping that many gamers won’t turn up – imagine the BO – but it’d be quite the event if that was the case.

The poster is a bit of a misnomer as well: while there are lots of high-level serious competitions, there’s also plenty of fun events like apple bobbing, hard drive tossing, Mario Kart competitions, table tennis, GoldenEye on the Nintendo 64, Magic: The Gathering, Handball (yes, the handball you played in primary school), Keyboard Javelin, paper aeroplane throwing, Time Crisis, Kinect games and on and on and on …

Prizes and tournaments aside, it’s going to be a great event. I’m looking forward to seeing what it’s like to lug my PC to the races.

I just hope it doesn’t rain.

What’s your weekend looking like?

    LAN of Thrones? :P

    In keeping with that theme, if only there was an actual throne. But instead of swords, it was made up of keyboards and mice melted together into a huge chair.

  • Wish I had found out about this earlier, would have loved to have gone.

  • A throne comprised of melted down deodorant cans.
