Hey Guys
Me and the GF have taken an interest into getting gaming events setup, unfortunately there is a huge lack of gaming event sin South Africa and hardly any games get decent launches. We wake up, we go to the shop on release day, we buy the game, we go home and play it, then end :)
We'd like to change this and we started with the release of Marvel vs Capcom3. It was a last minute thing that we decided, so we had the event at our own place. Even though it was last minute we had around 15-20 people pitch up for the event which was great to see. People got out of the houses away from their online and got too meet the people they might play online.
Even with the late notice we managed to get some great prizes and everyone left with something.
Now we are turning our attention to more game releases and launch parties, so any suggestions would be appreciated. We have had some interest from a certain group that may give us some great results in the future such as full support for game launches, prizes and venues.
Let me know what you'd like to see and what you get you interested in attending future game launches.
Also check out our facebook page which has some vids and pictures from our MvC3 launch party.

Hopefully this takes off here in SA and it no longer becomes a routine of wake up, go to the shop on release day, buy the game, go home and play it, then end ;)
