Today's Takeaway - IMOG Edition
ScrewAttack hosted the fifth annual Iron Man of Gaming at NekoCon 2011 this past weekend and I have all the juicy details for you g1s. Thanks to everyone who came out including the 2009 IMOG champion, Jamal "Z0phar" Nickens, also of Ultimate Gamer TV series fame. Competitors competed for points across six games: F-Zero, Bubsy the Bobcat, PacMan DX for XBLA, Call of Duty: Black Ops, Wayne Gretzky's 3D hockey, Mortal Kombat 9, and our mystery game, Rayman Origins.

2011 Iron Man of Gaming - Mike Lukianoff |
The competition was tough, but in the end, Mike Lukianoff would become the new Iron Man of Gaming. His friend Adam Monigle was a close second and they claim to have trained over a hundred hours to compete in the tournament. In third was Vincent Cipolla, who flew all the way in from California to compete. Wayne Gretzky's 3D Hockey was by far the most exciting game of the event, with Mike's Bubsy run being a close second. I think I may have even overheard Craig say it was the best Bubsy run EVER. I think we may even have some video of that for later. Below are the results for each game and the results overall. Be on the lookout for more IMG 2011 content coming through the rest of this week.

Hate to say but without us top challengers from last year, this year's competition was far from the standard. Myself, Gnarblast, Tre, and even Chris Gold will be there next year to reclaim our spots on top.

Sean, you wrote "Busby" twice. I only noticed it the second time I read it though, so no biggy.
Hmm, as much as I like video games of all kinds, I'm really not all that hot at many of them, but I wouldn't mind participating just for fun. If only I didn't live on the other side of the world...
Sean Hinz
Fixed and thanks!

Darth Malphas
If only they had live streamed it.
Tom the Iron Man
Between what Craig filmed and what I got, I think we really got the essence of the whole thing. Perhaps next year Livestreaming of IMoG can happen.
