Video gaming is serious business. The BlizzCon convention held in Anaheim in November and the "League of Legends Season 3 World Championship" held in Los Angeles last October are testament to that. Not only did both events attract sold out crowds, BlizzCon featured award-winning rockers Blink-182 and "League of Legends" was the most watched eSports event in history with a top prize of $1 million.
But video gaming is serious business in another aspect as well. The shows continue to get bigger and more elaborate and with that come heavier, more complex rigs.
