  • Abstract
    On a dark November day, Erlendur Thorsteinsson strolls into the Party at the Top of the World. That´s what the crowd of gamers calls this annual gathering at the Laugardalsholl arena in Reykjavík, Iceland. And it is quite a party. Crammed into a room, hordes of players battle it out in a challenge called the Super Ultimate Eve Online Mining Tournament of Awesomeness. Elsewhere, attendees share war stories over pints of beer and wait for the metal band Roxor to take the stage.
