The Guardian Gamesblog's Have I Got Games News For You July 28, 2008
Brighton, England BN1 4SB
An evening of trivia and booze, hosted by Aleks Krotoski and Keith Stuart from The Guardian's gamesblog.
This warm-up event will pit the gaming wits of studio teams across the Brighton spectrum and will get you in the right mindset for the next few Develop-fuelled days. Form your own team of up to six players to take on contenders from Black Rock, NCSoft, Linden Lab, Zoe Mode, Gamesindustry.biz and Eurogamer. There are limited places so arrive early!
Games-themed, but not exclusively. Expect plasticine and other surprises.
Oh how the mighty will reign. Honour and prizes for the winners.

Marvellous. I'm certain there are enough games geeks here to form a kind of ramshackle team. :)

I know ElQuesoDiablo's looking to form a Gamesblog Massive...

Looks like I might only have half (or two thirds) of a team with me, so we may well be looking to pick up stragglers when we get there. Look knowledgeable!

I'll be there as part of a team (RAM-Pixels). The rest of us:
Nick Burton, Rare

Simon Craddick, Rare

There are people signed up who are looking for teams to join: are you organising a team and in need of members? Let us know and we shall make beautiful union.
Also - if you want to make sure you get at least one point, we're running a competition at the Gamesblog for General Knowledge questions - top questions submitted are added to the quiz and win a prize! More information on the blog here (http://icanhaz.com/SubmitQs), or if you already have some bubbling around in your head, email gamesblog +at+ gmail +dot+ com NOW.

Hi, this is Adam Russell from Derby Uni (formerly Lionhead and Eurocom). Myself and my fellow ex-industry lecturer John Sear (formerly Codies) are both looking to join an existing team if there's still one with two spaces left?

Hi, I'm an Informatics student from Sussex Uni and would love to take part, however I don't have a team so if people are looking for a member please let me know :)

Ollie and I would like to come, but we don't have a team... maybe we could buddy up with some other people who are spare?

I shall miss this due to my own stupid organisation of travel to Brighton. Have fun!
