Steel City Showdown = Success
Just wanted to thank everyone who showed up and supported Steel City Showdown, it was a great success and a step forward for the Hamilton Gaming Community.
Thanks to Toronto Top Tiers for everything, as always they did a bang up job. The Staircase Theatre for the excellent venue. We would also like to thank Personal Coffee Service for supplying our stock of pop and free coffee. A special thanks to Josh Bury for the stellar photos of the event.
Also we raised $140 dollars for McMaster’s Children Hospital with the Raffle. Which isn’t too shabby.
We’re looking into Steel City Showdown 2 but its still in talks, especially with the busy tournament scene in the next month.
We’ll be linking video of the event soon enough, until then here are some photos.
Our disc resurfacer is back, Hallelujah!
Our beloved disc-resurfacer, Dr. Scratchlove, is back from his spa treatment at the Disc-Go-Tech Spa and Resort. As you can see, he was pampered and is looking and more importantly feeling like a million bucks. (So in other words, we can repair your CD‘s, DVD‘s and Games again!)
Welcome back.
Here are some photos from his little get away, courtesy of Disc Go Tech
