VIDEO GAME MANIA 7 UNLEASHED!

Scandal Leads to Violent Melee!


MARYLAND, April 28, 2007: Video Game Mania is an annual tournament sometimes characterized as a beer-soaked, profanity-laced exercise in trash talking. This year was different however, because there was cheating too! VGM7 saw the rise of Jonathan, a young man who proved that with enough hard work and dedication, anyone can prevail over a bunch of drunken loudmouths. On the other end of the spectrum, we saw the once innocent Eric S fall from grace. Having been consumed by the dark side of the force, Eric would find himself in the center of the biggest VGM scandal since George was given a wedgy at VGM4.

VGM7 was largely a civilized affair until a huge melee broke out, with host Dave "The Video Game Critic" taking the brunt of the violence. Apparently his attackers were schooled in the art of "street fighting", dishing out a steady barrage of "tiger kicks", "dragon punches", and repeated fireballs to the crotch. Experts hold up the incident as yet another example of video game violence, yet those involved contend Dave was "a low-life bastard who had it coming". Initial reports said the violence was sparked when somebody opened a window, but the true cause proved to be far more sinister! When all was said and done, this violent incident will go down as the worst since... well, since the one in Video Game Mania 6.

This page and its links chronicle the controlled chaos that occurred on April 28, 2007. Video Game Mania 7 will, without a doubt, go down in history as "a video game tournament". All of the information presented here is 100% accurate, with absolutely no hyperbole or embellishment at all, except for the parts that are out-and-out lies. Those are not 100% accurate.
