Have you ever wanted to kick Shahrukh Khan’s butt in FIFA or Call of Duty but could never do so because he’s a pretty busy dude? Well now you can at NVIDIA’s GeForce LAN gaming event because he’ll be there to take part in the festivities and promote his latest flick, RA.One. Of course you have to register for the event if you haven’t already at their online hub.

I wonder how 'l33t' his skills really are

This rather large event will kick off in Mumbai’s very own Bandra Kurla complex by the 14th of October 2011. Throughout the day (10: 00 AM – 10: 00 PM), gamers at the event will compete against one another in a multitude of multiplayer games like Call of Duty, FIFA, Need for Speed and Counter-Strike. There’s also a woman only Need for Speed tournament so the fairer sex doesn’t feel left out.

Prizes across both tournaments include prize money up to one lakh as well as some pretty sweet stuff like gaming laptops, 3D monitors and more.

Nash, as he prefers being called, woke up to the wonders of gaming rather late but don't bring that up around him. It's a touchy subject. A self confessed Battlefield veteran, Nash spent a good part of 2010 on the Steam Battlefield - with Bad Company (see what we did there?). He has a zero tolerance policy towards RTS games but is currently showing an interest by picking up and moving people - who he refers to as units - in the office. Thank God he's not that enthusiastic about Angry Birds or we'd be seeing women flying all over the place. Bali... Bali, put the receptionist down now.
