Midwest Game Show Classic Highlight Video

May 26th, 2009 by John

The Midwest Gaming Classic ended a few months ago, but we just received this video from John Norman over at Die Hard Gamer. Each year at MGC we host a game show called the “Midwest Game Show Classic”. It’s a Jeopardy-style tournament with game challenges and all sorts of tomfoolery.

In this video you’ll spot Robot Panic regulars like The Danger Boy, Phneri, DJ Incompetent, Gruel, and more. Can you find ‘em all?

Thanks to John Norman for sending this over and we’ll see you all next year at the Midwest Gaming Classic.

Boss Fight: @MGC Challenge – Mar 21st-22nd Pregame

March 18th, 2009 by Ian (DJI)

the captain

Midwest Gaming Classic has its own extravaganza of contests. But you got times, qualifying, places to be, people to hang out with, schedules, all that stuff.

So here’s a totally impromptu personal challenge I put forth to everybody who ends up there. No scheduling, no fee, none of that style.
All you gotta do is approach me at MGC and ask to play against you in somethin’ I can agree with. You win the match, I give you spacebucks. A Wii or Live points card. Maybe a PSN card if I find one.

That’s it.

Use them-thar social skills to request a battle at the arcade games, the console museum, the pinball, an afterparty, some random-ass hotel room if I end up there, DS, anywhere you happen to find me at the time if I’m on-site. All you gotta do is approach me and request to play for a spacebucks card. I’m down for random competition, so I’ll be all about it. You like free download games, so you’ll be all about it.

I don’t really know where pics of me are online unless you were all-up stalkin’ my Facespace or whatever, so here’s some strange trademarks on how you identify me:
-Holding an Arrogant Bastard Ale.
-Wearing some sort of shirt referencing Science.
-Reddish hair ‘n goatee, like the avatar. Or Hilden.
-That guy causing a positive ruckus.

If I run out of points cards to hand out, I’ll tell ya beforehand. ‘Not gonna raincheck dat stuff. I dunno about giving a guy the chance to win multiple times. ‘Depends on what the terms are. I’d make sure the game you’re thinking about isn’t busted on a player’s side before asking me to play though.

So yeah. See ya this weekend. ^_^
