Geek of Oz

I'll admit it. Competitive gamers annoy me. Well, it's not that they annoy me so much as I have nothing but bad memories of getting my butt kicked at Timezone by those much better at fighting games than myself.

Earlier this week Geek of Oz, or Geek of Ozhadou as we've now been dubbed, had a chat to Dan Chlebowczyk from Madman , Couch Warriors and OzHadou  had a chat to us about this weekends OzHadou Nationals.  Follow on after the jump for our chat or check out our previous post for more details on the tournament itself.

Any geek worth their salt will have fond memories of their local game arcade. Whether it was a Time Zone, Intensity or in my case Time Gone, just about all of us would spend many an hour hadoukening, tiger upper cutting and get over here-ing... they're real words, trust me.

When talking competitive gaming it is easy to think of Jimmy, Corey and Nick from The Wizard, a whole room full of kids sporting Nintendo "Power Gloves". But I assure you, these guys are something else entirely. Check out all the details after the jump and if you're interested in helping out, I'm sure the OHN gang would love to have you on board as a volunteer !
