Of course if you're going to be in Lagos Nigeria next week, they'll be hosting their preliminary round of the World Cyber Games. FIFA 08, Need for Speed, Virtual Fighter 5 and Carom 3-D will be the official games on hand. What the heck, might be good time to catch up with that Nigerian prince I get so many emails from lately. He does owe me some money.

Of course, if you're looking for something a little closer in the U-S, you might consider going to the Nvidia Nvision 08 event in San Jose California August 25th-27th.

They're looking for dedicated gamers who'll play for 36 hours straight. However, you are allowed a 10 Minute break every 60 minutes. What's the fun in that? If you're not catheterized, I say you're not trying hard enough. Click the link to the right for more information.
