April is a busy time for Psyko Audio - we launched 2 products at the start of the month and now we are headed to a select few events where people can check out the new headsets and have a chance to possibly win a Psyko Carbon or a Psyko Krypton.  Here is a summary of the events that we will be participating at in April.

VulcLAN 2011 -  This event already happened at the end of March but we didn't get a chance to highlight it.  It happened in Vulcan Alberta and it was a huge success with a sold out tournament where everyone had a chance to check out the new Psyko Carbons.  One lucky winner was able to grab a FREE Psyko 5.1 PC Gaming headset (see below).  Photos from the event can be seen here thanks to Ben Heide over at BCC Hardware. 


If you have not already read their review of Psyko Carbon then go check that out now.


Civil War LAN 3 (April 29 - May 1) "Two Universities. One LAN. Let the games begin."
Two rival schools are competing for bragging rights in video game dominance in this 48 hour event.  Only the weak will sleep!  Put on by the OSU Gaming Club featuring the University of Oregon and Oregon State University.  Check out the CivilWarLAN forum here.

Project X Redemption (May 13-15) -  Project X: Redemption is the much anticipated followup event to the sold out success 'Project X: Uprising'.  The theme and name behind redemption is to give those that lost in our tournaments a chance to redeem themselves in the eyes of their peers.  This event will be taking place at the luxurious Blackfoot Inn located in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. At 'Redemption!' we will be tying in a unique balance of PC Gaming, Console Gaming and Arcade gaming as well as some special extras including 'Saturday Morning Cartoons', guest speakers and much more. Project X is also taking the LAN experience to a new level with a LIVE DJ!
