Next week, Ben PerLee and I are heading to San Francisco to attend Konami's Gamer Night party. Typically, I just get a simple e-mail from videogame companies telling me that they want to show me their games. Today, Konami gave me a little something extra and sent me a video invite.
The video stars Jigsaw from the Saw movies and he wants to know if I want to play a game. At first I thought it was cool, but then I got to thinking and, well, I strongly believe that Konami is trying to murder me now. Due to my devotion to the robot however, I'm still going to go. Luckily, Ben is coming with me and since I hold seniority over Ben, I'm going to send him in first. If Ben isn't killed within ten minutes after I shove him through the door, then I'll know everything is okay.
The video after the jump shows gameplay from the Saw game which was just announced yesterday. The video also says that you're invited to the party, but you're not really invited since it was just made for press. You can try and sneak your way in, but you might get killed if they catch you.
Hamza Aziz, Destructoid's Community Director, has been here since day one. He was born when a tiger coughed up a hairball into a pool of ooze. He was one of the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles before budget cuts. Hamza works as a previews editor and manages a team in San Francisco. To date he has given away tens of thousands of dollars in prizes to readers. What a dick. Actually, Hamza is as kind as he is hairy.

Protip for my favorite Ben in the whole wide world: Get CTZ drunk just before the event (should only take 2 beer) and tell him that the game that you guys are going to see was changed from Saw to Playboy Beach Bunny Bounce-Off: Nerdcore Edition. He'll run in first leaving you free to see if it's safe or not :)
That invite is freaking awesome! I'd never go, cuz I'm a fan of living and all, but you should totally do it Hamza, I mean whats the worse that could happen?
