Last week's Classic Game Fest Pong contest on the movie screen outside of Austin's Game Over Video Games

Here we are in Austin the night before the Game Over Classic Game Fest round two. And guess what? The alcohol is already flowing.

As we get “ready” for the event, Crutchboy and Miss Genocide argue about music in the background as I type this and we all wager who will have the biggest hangover in the morning…

This week’s event will feature the classic Joust. No, it won’t involve a dark room and glow in the dark condoms. We’re talking the actual game of Joust. The first round of matches will take place inside the store on an appropriately old school TV. Qualifiers will then move to the parking lot of Game Over to compete against one another… on a movie screen! Yeah, some of you just peed a little.

The event will begin with sign-ups at 7:00PM with the first round of qualifications beginning at 7:30PM. Before the second round round begins, there will be a live performance by Bill Byrne of the Painful Leg Injuries. And then there’s going to be some break dancing. For five minutes if I’ve read the schedule right. I can’t make this stuff up.

At 9:00PM, the second round of eliminations will begin and then, there will be a screening of the classic video game movie, “The Wizard” in the store’s videogame museum.

The BG Reckon Crew will be on hand at the event to offer up some t-shirts and other swag. Miss Genocide will be on hand to make us look good. So swing by our table and see who won the “Most Hungover” contest and pick up a t-shirt. If you’re in Austin and you want to get in on some old school video game goodness, come sign up for the Classic Game Fest at Game Over Video Games on the corner of if Highway 183 and Lamar. We’ll be there with our game on.

Now if you’ll excuse me, there’s a beer with my name on it at the bar.
