Creekside Live turned into a hot and heated spectacle last Monday night filled with beverages, burlesque dancers and pulse-pounding performances at the IGDA and ScreenBurn at SXSW-sponsored “1024-Bit Battle Royale 2010: SSH Complex.” Kain Shin, senior gameplay programmer for Arkane Studios and IGDA Austin member, served as the rock star emcee for the night, shouting from center stage, “The show is about to begin!”
And begin the show did as an amalgam of different acts and activities littered the dance floor, from burlesque dancers dressed as popular video games characters, dancing drenched in eroticism that ended with stripteases that left little to the imagination, and performances that shook the foundations of Creekside Live from bands such as Mysterious H, Deserts of Mars, Giggle Party, Whitefall, Here Lies Lester Moore and others.
