Thank you, Ubisoft, for not seeing Chicago as another flyover city and bringing this great game and art event to this great city.  We Chicagoans are always looking to blend our game interest with other culture rich events. Take advantage of this unique event Thursday Sept 27th, 2012, that showcases the “Art of the Assassin.”

Art of the Assassin is a traveling exhibit that showcases original Assassin’s Creed^® III-inspired works from some of today’s most distinguished contemporary artists. The nationwide tour premiered in Los Angeles in August with works by Ariel Erestingcol, Artek, DualForces, Justin Bartlett, Mark Dean Veca, Racecar 13, Dora Drimalas, Thank You X, and Brian Flynn. The tour concludes at the end of October with an auction that gives consumers a chance to bid on these exclusive works, with proceeds going directly to Rock the Vote.

The “Art of the Assassin” will be shown in the Pilsen district, one of Chicago’s emerging art neighborhoods, at the ARTrevolution gallery (artrevolution600.com) from 4:30–7:00 pm.

Rock the Vote! What a great pairing. The most highly anticipated game coming out this year, Assassin’s Creed 3, which focuses on a portion of the American history where our political system really first developed. It was the founding principle of this great democracy that a government should be of the people, by the people, and for the people and the only way to ensure that you’re represented is by casting your vote.  If you haven’t register to vote, you really should. It’s fast and easy and you can do it by clicking the link below! You don’t want election day to roll around and then be upset you can’t participate because you didn’t register, set an example.

The general election mail-in voter registration deadline for Illinois is Oct 9th, 2012.

Follow @RockTheVote and help support their cause.

If you’re already register to vote, great! Why not share your pride, you may be surprised at how many of your peers have not registered themselves.

After being overshadowed a bit by the release of Diablo 3, Max Payne 3 really gave us a game worth talking about.

If you’re continuing to play the game after the two week’s it’s been out,  I highly recommend you go check out rockstarnetwork.net where a friend of mine writes, for news, reviews, multiplayer happenings and good ol Rockstar love.

We hope you all had a good time at C2E2 and hope to see you there next year April 26th – 28th 2013.

Elliot Serrano, writer of the RedEye blog Geek to Me, wanted to shed some girth before the Chicago summer hits with full force and asked Pro Wrestler Lisa Marie Varon if she could get him into Geek Fit shape. What came of it was the Geek Fit Challenge. 6 Geeky Contestants will work for 3 months from the guidance of Lisa and her trainers (Morph Personal Training) as well as help from each other while challenging themselves to reach their geek fit goals. The group will be training in their own time and with the group at Lakeshore Sports & Fitness and will be expected to keep progress photos to show the world!

Elliot was nice enough to bring by a bunch of those involved in the program to talk on the Pixeldom Live Podcast from C2E2. If you didn’t catch the videos live, you can watch them right now.

Lisa Marie Varon (Twitter or RealLisaMarie.com), female pro wrestler, stops by to talk about the Geek Fit Challenge and her new Chicago organic comfort food Restaurant opening soon!
