Chuck Van Pelt of the Portland Retro Gaming Expo and Art Santana of Ground Kontrol kick open the doors to a TARDIS full of every single video gaming experience everyone ever had in the world. Ever. All at once, all this weekend. Find out how Chuck manages to not go crazy overseeing 60,000 square feet of gaming goodness, find out what it takes to be a Tetris World Champion, listen in as Cort details his simmering distaste for Chuck E. Cheese, Bobby looks back in wonder and amazement at how he ever beat Ninja Gaiden, and Ryan Fleming of Digital Trends tells tale of the friends he’s left enraged over his ability to rack up high scores on Golden Tee machines. Plus – Disney ripped off Anamanaguchi, someone made an NES zapper into a legitimate laser gun, and Borderlands 2 seems to be blowing up everyone’s world.

Shameless plug: I helped produce my good friend Adam’s film Ecstacy of Order, it’s super great! You should all come see it this coming weekend! Color me very biased but it truly offers so much more than King of Kong.

All the guys and gals (yes, gals) worthy of master status will be there for the tourney so best bring a finely-tuned skill set if you want to seriously compete. I’ll be helping run the show Fatboy–I’ll save the 26 inch tube TV for your mom if she wants to show!
Thanks to Art and Chuck for the mentions and Ryan for the interview with Adam, as well.
