Lots of kids (and trailing parents) out here for the last day of Screenburn Arcade ( through 6 p.m.). If you haven’t been out yet, try it out. Head-to-head game competitions run throughout the day with a Red Bull-hyper MC keeping the
tension high with his nonstop scoring updates over the PA. Or check out the vintage video-game exhibit sponsored by Mountain Dew where visitors get treated to comfy couches, free cola and old-school console gaming — Nintendo, Sega Genesis, etc.
Today’s highlights include the Game Design Competition / AAA (http://tinyurl.com/dfwuxg) at 5 p.m. Winners will be featured in a conversation with an industry professional at Studio SX on Monday.
