So I went to this event wanting to try to get in the Guinness Book of World Records but they were sold out. But I got onto the alternate list. So my two friends and I, Justin and Cameron, all of us went to the Lan and luckily they had some spots for us. We were so excited.
The rules were after each hour you were allowed 10 minute breaks but you don't have to use them and can accumulate them. For the next 36 hours we got to talk to other people see some professional gamers, unload on energy drinks and get free food without ever leaving our seats. My usual schedule was play WoW, CS 1.6, and SC for about 6 hrs, then take a hour break.
After about the 30th hour people were getting sooo sleepy and falling asleep on their keyboards. So we finally make it to the 36th hour and there was a nice ceremony at the end for all the Professional Gamers and Guinness Book of World Records Players. The Mythbusters were there and I got some videos of them doing their demonstration. MYM won the CS tourney and the SK Ladies won also. I got to take a picture with the SK Ladies and got a picture of Grubby.
Overall it was really fun and totally worth it. Hopefully there will another one really soon. I'll try to answer any questions that you might have for me.
The pictures I took. http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=50342&l=71d63&id=657341696
I'll try and upload the Mythbusters Video as soon as I can.

Hmm maybe it is it was next to all the other interesting looking computers so I thought it was one.

Why'd they have to hold this Monday-Wednesday? I work in the building right across the street and didn't get to go.

I've not even heard of this until I just looked it up, haha.
WTF. Buzz Aldrin was there? Dude, you didn't get pics of Buzz?! =( I would have totally got pics of me and him chilling.
He's a fucking hero.
First Terrans on another planet?!

Whoa, you were at nVision? I was there on Monday and Tuesday doing some ESWC coverage for MYM. Glad you had a good time and the BYOC LAN area looked really nice when I was walking around.

Wow, that's so cool. I would love to go to something like that some day.
Just out of curiosity, what were the Mythbusters filming about exactly?

They were filming about GPU's in a special way ;D
