You have to remember, these are the alpha gamers, the best of the best, the only ones with enough confidence and charisma to hurl themselves headlong into the danger zone when a challenge as fierce as the opposite sex presents itself in such a way.

They truly are, a role model to the rest of the gaming populace.

I don't see how this thing will make people flock to Game stores though, seriously don't know how this benefits the company in any way.

Into the sun, even.

I didn't see any games being traded. In fact I only spotted one guy carrying games. Everyone else must have them tucked away in very big pockets.

I did however notice some obviously paid people to attend the event, in order to give it some sort of "appeal". If I knew who came up with this idea I'd give them a kick in the ****.

So are strip joints losing that much money to gamers who get more satisfying highs from gaming at home that they are trying to get the clientel back by combining games with strippers? lol. Interesting marketing pitch, and yes, everyone of those girls were most certainly strippers and the room upstairs required cash entry im sure.

It did say somewhere it will come soon for Melbourne and Brisbane.

This event needs to also cater for the females to get with the times, female plays games too!

Surely they'd have male strippers too? Or did those guys just take their shirt off for kicks?

If they weren't paid to be there, they were GAME upper-management people.

So this has apparently been cancelled in Melbourne and Brisbane due to complaints.

I can't for the life of me imagine why...
