Ever wonder what all those local video-game developers are up to in their dungeonlike offices with only the light of a screen to illuminate their pasty faces? Why not find out at Game On Austin, where game-makers show off their latest and greatest onscreen, interactive treats? There’s going to be an awesome Rock Band tourney, superawesome art from the Austin Museum of Digital Art …. [Editor’s note: James got a bit too excited about all the “supremely awesome” things at this event, and I told him to redirect his awesomeness toward the blog. See austinchronicle.com/pip for more.]

Yeah. What she said.
