You might have heard that Capcom (among many others) was throwing a party here at the 2009 Consumer Electronics Show. Of course, Team Destructoid was in attendance, and we shot some quick video of the massive Resident Evil 5 setup they put together.
Up on the 6th floor of the Planet Hollywood Hotel and Casino, pool level, Capcom set up two linked consoles running Resident Evil 5 for us to play. That's not the unusual part, though. Each player's screen was projected onto the face of the hotel, covering multiple floors. Co-op matches were shown for all in attendance while they munched on hors d'oeuvres and sipped hot toddies.
Later, the party moved inside to a nightclub, where the eating and gaming continued. Check out the end of the video, where Microsoft's Aaron Greenberg throws a Destructoid-exclusive Hadouken.

Meet the rest of the team
Man you guys are so lucky to have such great jobs, I can't even hope to get one since here in Europe there is virtually no gaming events, and the ones that are here don't even compare to the lamest you've got over there :-(
