The ScrewAttack Gaming Convention starts this weekend from Friday, July 3 to Sunday, July 5 and it promises to be a fun-stuffed weekend of games, geekery and ... maybe Jack Thompson. It's looking like it'll be a very amusing 72 hours, and naturally Destructoid will be there to support our good friends at ScrewAttack.
Unfortunately, Mr. Destructoid himself is unable to attend due to Friday Night Fight commitments, so the Destructoid Panel will not be a featured part of the shenanigans. However, your ol' pal Jim Sterling and a group of drunkards from DtoidAustin will be in attendance, so if you see us, make sure to say hello and please, if you must punch me, don't hit my beautiful face.
There has been news that Jack Thompson chickened out of his debate at the convention, but Destin from SG tells me he's back on. We'll have to see if JT has the stones to go through with it, and if he does, I'll be liveblogging the affair. Fun times!
Jim Sterling serves as reviews editor for Destructoid.com, head of the Podtoid podcast, and produces a number of news stories, original features, one-of-a-kind videos. With his passionate argumentative style, controversial opinions, harsh delivery, and dedication to brutal honesty Sterling is a name that you can't help but recognize.

Be smart, funny, insightful, clueless, or cute -- but back it up with substance. Keep your cool, keep it fun. We only ask that you act respectfully and above all: don't be a troll and ruin it for everyone else. Don't bring down gamers or we'll, you know, gently shoot you in the face and stuff you into a flaming mailbox. Each comment is your opportuntity to make this community awesomer. Is that even a word?

I will also be at said event. I would definitely enjoy meeting up with some Dtoid folk at the hotel (I'll be there too) or wherever. Hopefully all us crazy internet folk can find something cool to do!
Yep, got a hotel room booked for Friday and Sat night. 3 of my friends will be coming with me, 2 of us are dtoiders, so were both looking forward to meeting you. I'll send you a twitter with our room number, if you're bored maybe we can take some shots and dick around in the hotel, maybe cause some trouble.
