Because they are crazy popular games and not everyone has played PC/Console games, some are masters of even Snake on Nokia phones.
Anyway the event will be great, but I am so much busy for April, but if I get time I would sure attend to see the competition.
So anyone of you will be attending this, as participant or just to see the champions?

you think angry birds is an easy game? also had you visited my college last year you'll know the craze of Angry birds on PC (or laptop in collg). Fruit Ninja is available for PC too.

I don't like the tournament registration process because I'm very moody guy. If I feel like going I will go if I don't I won't. It's just 45mins away from my place.-P If it's a scam then don't worry Delhi is the capital of scams we can deal with one more.-)

Some are complaining that CS guys needs to pay Rs. 1.5k per head in their own page. Not sure if this is legit or not, I've heard rumours that some company is sponsoring but I seriously doubt it. If it happens and if its a success, its all good. If not, nothing new.

Doesn't looks like the carnival is going well.
It turns out the attendees were asked to return back from the first day of the event today! :(

Here's a conversation with Zomato:

The carnival link at Zomato is now gone. And can only be accessed by google cache:

Something fishy here? :?
