I’m talking about Atomic Live 2008. It’s a day where so many PC and Games enthusiasts come together to witness some of the most amazing feats in history. If you’re a bit of a hardware guy, then you must go to this FREE event.
I’ve already registered for it, and hope that in the unlikely event that I would actually win the 22″ LCD Monitor or PS3 as an added bonus! From previous experience at Atomic Live 2005 and 2007, it’s going to be a really good day/
Here’s the formal description of the expo:
Atomic LIVE 2008 is an all-day PC, gaming and tech fun-fest, put on for you to catch up on the latest technological innovations from global market leaders, win cool prizes play computer games, learn a little bit about the industry & leading trends, and maybe even pick up some career advice. It’s everything that makes the Atomic magazine & website so great, gathered under one roof.
So what actually happens?
Well there’s so much going on it’s nuts! There’s the grand finals of the World Gamemasters Tournament (WGT), a massive and free LAN party that’s got FarCry 2 for the very first time in Australia, cosplay, competitions including the PC speedbuilding competition, and giveaways of all shapes and sizes.
