Cerro Coso Community College recently hosted its second College Video
Gaming Tournament. Held on Saturday, August 15th, the tournament featured
team game play amongst four teams, Bacon Suit Mafia, Team Discovery Channel,
Geek Squad and Big Guns. Each team was vying for the grand prize of $250 and
First Place trophy. With numerous rounds of game play, gamers had plenty of
action packed mayhem to enjoy.
The winning team, Bacon Suit Mafia (pictured here during gameplay), featured
team members, Bowman Perryman (Shortfuse), Jack Terheun (Buddha), James
Crawford (Disciple), William Foster (WD40.Foster) and Joseph Crawford (Holy
Man).
Gamers were also awarded dog tags for special achievements, such as Most
Kills, won by Disciple (James Crawford) and Most Deaths, won by Jacob (Jacob
Trigg).
Gamers were treated to a pizza lunch, provided by the Associated Students of
Cerro Coso (ASCC), and participating sponsors were Game Crazy, Digital
Captive, and SoftMart.
"We'd like to thank all those that helped make this tournament possible,
from the Director of Information Technology, Dylan Mattina, to the IT Staff,
Facilities Staff, the Associated Students organization, to our sponsors, and
especially the gamers!" stated Blake Whitcomb, tournament planning chairman.
Cerro Coso looks forward to our next gaming tournament, which will be held
this Fall, featuring Madden NFL Football™, the wildly popular football game,
just in time to celebrate the football season. With collaborative plans in
process with GameCrazy, a local gaming store, the tournament will feature
console play and is sure to please gamers. Look for more information coming
