The last few weeks have been crazy for me and a lot of effort has been put in by a lot of people to help make Iron-Man 2008 what it is this year... and it hasn't even started! Today at 5pm the doors of the Grapevine Convention Center open and with it the fun will begin. Could we have 5 people show up? Sure. But our goal is to have as much fun as possible with however many people are there: 5 or 5,000. We've got a great weekend lined up for sure so we wanted to give you one last run down of some of the "other" stuff going on this weekend. Take a glance and see what you're missing. If you're sad you can't come you should start planning for next year right now.

I'm sure there will be tons and tons of footage of Iron Man of Gaming once its all settled down and over with. Heck, on sidescrollers that the clip of the week will be footage of Iron Man of Gaming. So that'll be cool to watch.

If there arent about 100 videos coming out of the mayhem that must be the Iron Man of Gaming, then i'll be pretty dissapointed. i will be much more dissapointed in the G1's for not having video cameras rolling 24/7 during the event, than at the ScrewAttack crew for being too busy to document this awesome event. This year, i've got an MSI concert to see, maybe next year i'll make it to TX!

make me feel even worse that I cant make it this year!
new jobs are awesome cause you get money but suck cause they take up time that prevents you from going to something awesome like....IRON MAN OF GAMING!
Man this sucks. The more awesomeness that is revealed about the IMoG the more I wish I could go. Ah well NEXT year I can go and check it out. Have fun all who are going and make sure to post LOTS of videos so the rest of us can at least see what we missed out on.

I've seriously got everything hardcore set up so that I can attend next year. I'm competing, I'm wearing a ScrewAttack T-Shirt, getting my AVGN DVD signed and bringing a camcorder to film it all. All of it will go on my site for people to watch. I'm so bummed that I can't make it this year.
Whole "overview" of the Iron-Man of Gaming felt like a dagger going through my heart knowing i cant go. You can bet that I would want to meet the Screwattack staff and the Nerd and kick their asses in videogames, and just have fun.

LOL cartridge cleaning competition, my brother had that idea a while ago. I dont know how you would make it even for all competitors, because how can you make a cartridge consistently the same amount of "dirtiness". maybe they kept some carts in a dusty room for a few days. but whatever I am thinking too much about this. Hope the iron-man rocks. Please have a lot of videos.

I WILL be there next year though so even if this one bombs, Please have one next year !! dude how sweet will it be to meet all the staff and the AVGN. I mean I watch hard news more than I watch the actual news .. (i will argue i still have a life though :-P ).
To all who are going make sure to make it memorable!
OMFG EPIC, LEGENDARY... OR JUST FUCKING RIDICULOUSLY AWESOME!!!
I'm gonna HAVE to start planning for this for next year. I'm seriously upset that I can't go this year. (Remind me not to waist my vacation time playing hookie from work in the beginning of next year.) /sadface
