Last year, Blackpool played host to the Replay Expo; a fantastic event celebrating the history of video games both retro and contemporary. Practically every system, console and form of hardware was present, in addition to countless arcade machines. It was an incredible success featuring pretty much everything gamers grew up playing, and this November, you'll have another chance to check it out at the Replay Expo 2011!

In addition to all the retro gatherings, there will be a magnificent pinball machine showcase; a collection which you will be hard pressed to EVER replicate, and of course, there are also several modern games being represented. The European Gaming League will be present in full force, running Halo, Call of Duty and FIFA tournaments. Many influential and legendary games developers and publishers will also have a presence at the expo.

Electronic Dojo is happy to announce that we'll be hosting another set of tournaments there again this year, and Just to make sure the dedicated fighters are guaranteed entrance to the event, we'll be reserving 50% of all spots for all games to give you all first refusal!

The event was absolutely superb last year and even without entering the tournaments, it's a rare chance to visit your gaming past, enjoy tournaments on several games (I'm praying for more 24 player Bomberman!), and network with gamers both old and new, so I can't recommend it enough!

GET HYPE

Dojo got trolled! Most of you guys already know that we've been adding a ton of new functionality to the site lately. We were implementing some fresh technology and ran into...issues. Long story short, everybody died and now we're gonna be rebuilding it from scratch. Think of it as a fresh start - if you hated your previous sign up name (D_U_SUSPECT!) nows your chance to change it up. Keep in mind that your Dojo login name is what we'll be using when you sign up to tournaments and whatnot so keep it simple! If there are 5 Xx's on either side, you're doing it wrong...We've got recording and streaming sorted, so look forward to plenty of new footage coming out in the next few days and weeks!
