The Scene @ ScreenBurn Arcade
ScreenBurn is bigger and badder than ever this year, and so is the ScreenBurn Arcade! Free and open to the public, it’s ground zero for all the hottest new games and developments in the gaming industry.
It’s a melee of swag bags, screens, demos, gawkers, hawkers, gamers, and, um, more screens.
The FragDolls competed on a custom-made gaming stage. Seagate Technology is sponsoring tournaments throughout the two-day Arcade for ScreenBurn attendees who want to challenge a FragDoll for a change to win a Seagate Maxtor 1-Touch hard drive.
And where FragDolls go, audiences follow.
The Championship Gaming Series has set up a formidably eye-popping competition area. Tomorrow (Sunday, March 9) Championship Game Series 2008 Pro Gamer Draft picks will be announced from the Austin Convention Center–look for the event on DirecTV.
No matter your gaming preference, there’s something for everyone, from supercute…
…to not so cute.
Amiable Second Skin director Juan Carlos Piñeiro Escoriaza took in the Arcade scene. Second Skin’s unflinchingly intimate look at MMO players who live most of their lives in two dimensions has been garnering great reviews. Does the director play MMOs? “I’m more of a console player. Looking forward to the new Smash Brothers.”
