Woops, been meaning to post about this. A while ago, the first ever London Geek Games Night happened, somewhere in London. Gamenerds turned up, seeking beer and multiplayer DS sessions, happy conversation and cameraderie. It was successful enough to warrant a second LGGN. Here's the blurb:
== WHAT: The second ever London Geek Gamers Night. May 16 ==
A geeky games-type thing where we do stuff like:
- bring your DS and swap games! (extra points for bringing a Game Gear or a Lynx)
- shout about Sony Home! (and, by logical extension, how no one you know owns a PS3!)
- make jokes about Second Life!
- wail at games awards!
- try and one-up one another about how much you love Sega!
- proclaim your love for UK Resistance!
- bitch about EDGE!
- play games like Set and Blue Moon!
- exchange invite codes to l33t betas!
at the same time as:
- drinking.
These things typically devolve into a marathon session of Mario Kart by the end of the evening, so be prepared. Also, don't be surprised if at one of these we end up having a prolonged Werewolf session, either.
If you're someone who plays games, loves games, or works in the games industry, or (better still, loves games, plays them and is increasingly bitter and ranty about the games industry) then this is probably for you.
Have you noticed how the UK sessions often involve beer and bitterness? It's deeply entertaining, and very Withnail.
WHERE: Downstairs at The College Arms. Stairs on the right as you enter the pub. It's here: http://tinyurl.com/2479oe (Streetmap) and
here: http://tinyurl.com/2as4b5 (Google Maps). Much kudos to James Wallis for sorting out this month's venue - if we like it, we can
stay, otherwise we can decamp for next month.WHEN: 6:30pm for 7pm, Wednesday May 16.
Founding forces include the fellas over at Perplex City, so this is one for the diary.
What, no love for the Neo Geo Pocket Color? Fail!
I can't go because I love EDGE as well. Although I would be right at home making jokes about Sadville.
