WIN! VIP Tickets To The First Episode Of Byteside

Kotaku AU

I know what you’re thinking: what the frak is Byteside? Put simply, it’s a live show happening in Sydney where some of Australia’s top tech and gaming journos and pundits get together and have a chat about some of the hottest industry news and products over a couple of beers. It’s the brainchild of ex-Gizmodo AU editor and occasional Kotaku AU editor Seamus Byrne and Atomic magazine founder Ben Mansill and it’s launching at Sydney’s Shelbourne Hotel on September 15.

Kotaku AU
