Santa Barbara Game Fest Information
Like I said, SB Game Fest is the first of it’s kind in Santa Barbara. The LAN party alone supports up to 80 computers and we encourage you to bring your own. We are also providing 40 computers for attendees to use on a first come, first serve basis. PC games include CS, CS: Source, Team Fortress 2, Starcraft, Warcraft 3, and more. In addition to PC gaming, we are having a multitude of tournaments and a casual gaming corner for all your DS, Wii, and Rock Band needs. The first of two of these tournaments, you’ve just read about. But they also include Halo 3, Guitar Hero 3, and others. We have a lot of room, support from the school, food and drinks, a lounge area, and a view of the ocean from the center. Come hang out on the central coast for one full day of gaming from 12:00PM - 9:00PM, April 26, 2008.
