Get a ringside seat at a new live show and webcast event, featuring some of Sydney's best tech and gaming journos.

Byteside, launching on Tuesday the 15th of September, is a new media venture by Atomic's founder Ben Mansill, and regular Engine Room contributor Seamus Byrne. It's a live panel event (think The Gruen Transfer, but about tech and games), where the industries best and brightest come together to debate, discuss and lambast the big events and news of the day.

And maybe drink a few beers. It is at the Shelbourne Hotel after all!

If you want to get into the event, head over to Byteside's website and RSVP. Places are limited, so hurry - and, if you want to win one of two VIP passes (which will give you $30 worth of free drinks at the bar - score!), register for the Byteside newsletter and select 'Atomic' under the question 'Where did you hear about Byteside?'

And who's going to be on the first night? There'll be two shows, one focusing on tech and hardware, with Nick Broughall (Editor, Gizmodo Australia), Zara Baxter (Deputy Editor, PC Authority), Matthew Powell (Editor, MacTheMag), and Nick Ross (Publisher, The Overclocker). The second show is all about gaming, and the guests for that one are Jeremy Ray (Junglist, Good Game), David Hollingworth (Editor, Atomic - me!), Daniel Wilks (Editor, Hyper), and David Wildgoose (Editor, Kotaku Australia).

It's going to be a great night, and it'd be marvelous to see some Atomican faces in the crowd. Don't worry if you miss it, though, as the show will be filmed live and re-broadcast on the web.

Behind the scenes with Mass Effect 3! GTX 560 VGA round-up! Essential Skyrim tweaks to improve your game! Plus reviews, news, hardware, more games, and easy to following modding guides for PC builders. ON SALE NOW!

Krispy89 Sep 10, 2009 5:07 PM	This looks AWESOME :) I think Mansill was at Myer to see legendary voice artist Charles Martinet. An interview in the works, one thinks. Hmmmmm
codecreeper Sep 10, 2009 5:09 PM	Damn i live in Adelaide ,we always miss out on these type of events. Is this a new Magazine or a one of Event?
Flouncy Sep 10, 2009 5:48 PM	Yep. This is it. This is big. We're doing a live show every fortnight! It'll be at the Shelbourne every second Tuesday, starting Sept 15th at about 7pm. Top floor at the 'Altitude Bar'. It's quite a lovely spot. I'd love to see Atomicans come along - you guys do the social scene like no-one else, and these night we're doing are very much geared for good times. The bar will be open and the whole idea is you come along for a bit of a social night out with mates, and enjoy the live show. We're doing some very cool stuff with comps and games and very cool prizes. All adds up to good fun and the triple bonus is seeing Hawkeye up there on stage at his eloquent best. We're doing 'season 1' which will run for 3 months, then after a short Chrissy break we're resuming in the new year. So - it's a most excellent thing to mark Tuesday nights down in your calendar. Did I mention it's free? And yeah - we'll be taking the show around the country. So hang in there, we'll get to you! This is the big new thing for me, I've teamed up with Seamus and we're going hard and fully serious to make it an amazing live show, with your favourite games journos in a very candid chat we're you'll hear stuff you won't hear anywhere else. Can't wait to see the Sydney crowd there, Byteside's the perfect thing to haul together a fun bunch via community events, so get on it! Promise you'll love it :} Don't forget to register at www.byteside.com
hazarama Sep 10, 2009 8:55 PM	Sounds brilliant. No details on the webcast yet though ..
Flouncy Sep 10, 2009 9:09 PM	What we'll be doing is an intensive overnight edit of the live show - and all up on the site the next day. Hard work for us, but this immediacy is what's gonna make Byteside instant and relatively live to the wider internet viewers. So - either come along every second Tuesday, or tune in the next day on the site at www.byteside.com and you'll be enjoying our clever and wonderful show just-like-that :}
