Has it been several summers since your skin’s had tan lines? Did you miss our brief stint of beautiful weather because you just bought Bioshock Infinite and you refuse to go anywhere until you finish, lest there be spoilers? Well, give your callused thumbs a rest this weekend and leave the house; it’s the return of the Screw Attack Gaming Convention. Doors open at noon Friday for the three-day event at the Hyatt Regency Dallas (300 Reunion Blvd.). Among the featured guests are Adam Sessler, executive producer of the Revision 3 network and former host of G4, and Anthony and Ashly Burch (Tiny Tina) of Borderlands fame. Additional weekend highlights will include live music, panels and arcade, console and tabletop gaming — including an Iron Man of Gaming Tournament. Tickets are $35. Visit sgconvention.com for tickets and full schedule.
