Ballarat GiG Expo - 25-26th May 2007!


Ballarat GiG coming this weekend!

Although its not confirmed, it look episode 50 might be put off officially until next week, but for a good reason, the Ballarat GiG (Get Into Games) is on!

Starting Friday in Ballarat at 10am, it will finish Saturday. You can look forward to me talking there in some shape and form, as well as being with and helping the Gamestah guys shoutcast the matches.

This includes a special guest appearance by two of the famous Immunity clan, such as Edison, and Jackal - a asian super star who has one and become number one in Singapore and Malaysia.

And you get to sit down and play a 2 versus 2 match and win prizes if you can beat them!.

As well as all this, there will be developers such as Auran to chat about games, and universities will be there showing off their latest courses. Lots to do! It is at the mining exchange, by the way

Think your up for the challenge?

Coming soon - Episode 45, and your invited to come in!

Hey guys, a bit of a change for this upcoming episode.

Shaun is likely to not make it for the episode, so I am calling out for anyone with a interest in tech and would like a bit of a laugh to come on and either be a guest on the show, or sit (err, chat/listen) in on a episode with me!

I plan to skypecast the actual episode while I record it live, although the edited version will still be a few days after the event.

All you need is skype, a microphone, and the ability for us to be on at the same time - fairly easy!

I look to be online on Skype after 7pm, Melbourne time (+10 GMT), so if you are interested then send an email to us at austechnews@gmail.com !

Anyone is welcome, so don't be shy and it'll be a great time.

*edit*
Test to pre skypecast chat:
