Video Games Live is coming to Boston!
Senisan82 | 6:05 PM on 10.29.2008 3 comments


I just received an email with some great news!

"Hi Everyone,

We're working like crazy to make our Boston show very special in many ways. We're going to have a lot of local game developers present for our post-show meet & greet including people who have worked on BioShock, Guitar Hero, Rock Band and many more.

One very special guest that we have recently confirmed is Ralph Baer. Mr. Baer is known as the person who INVENTED the video game in the 1960's. Mr. Baer doesn't travel much so we are very honored to have him at the show. Not only will he be a part of the meet & greet, but he'll also be bringing with him (and demonstrating on stage) the very first video game system EVER! He calls it "the brown box". In fact, we're going to pick someone out of the crowd to come up on stage and play it with him. The only other brown box that he created is currently being displayed in the Smithsonian Institute. Mr. Baer received the National Medal of Technology for his creation of the video game from the President of the United States. You can learn more about Mr. Baer at his website: http://www.ralphbaer.com.

Hope to see you all on November 21st! "

Those tickets are worth every dollar. My girlfriend bought me tickets to VGL when it came to New York and it was one of the best shows we've ever seen, and she's not even a gamer.

Comments policy

Destructoid is an open discussion community. You don't need to "audition" to post a comment - just speak your mind. We respect differing opinions on the site, so have at it. Be smart, funny, insightful, clueless, or cute -- but back it up with substance. Keep your cool, keep it fun. We only ask that you act respectfully and above all: don't be a troll and ruin it for everyone else. Don't bring down gamers or we'll, you know, gently shoot you in the face and stuff you into a flaming mailbox. Each comment is your opportuntity to make this community awesomer. Is that even a word?

Avoiding the banhammer only requires common sense: spamming, trolling, racism, NSFW stuff, and other forms of sucking will not be tolerated. If anyone is griefing please report abuse. Be good. Don't suck!

 about me

I've been a gamer for a great majority of my life. I often like to return to the games of my youth and stop halfway through them and say "How the hell did I ever beat this!" I'd also like to say that Mega Man 2 invented fun torture.
Some other things I like to do other than gaming is watch Anime, collecting toys occasionally and working out. Zangief is my inspiration and I hope to be able to perform a green hand into a spinning pile driver one day in real life.



Some games I ruv:

-Streets of Rage 2 (Genesis)
-Megaman 2 (NES)
-Parasite Eve 1 (PS1)
-Brave Fencer Musashi (PS1)
-Lost Odyssey (XBOX 360)
-Chrono Trigger (SNES)
-Ninja Gaiden (NES)
-Shinobi 3 (Genesis)
-Shadow of the Colossus (PS2)
-Street Fighter 2: World Warrior (Arcade)
-Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Turtles in Time (SNES)

Some of my most memorable game OSTs:

-Final Fantasy III
-Streets of Rage 2
-Brave Fencer Musashi
-Shadow of the Colossus
-Metal Gear (Series)
-Zelda: Ocarina of Time
-Bionic Commando Rearmed
-Xenogears
-Sonic Adventure 1
-Ninja Gaiden
-Sonic (Series)
-Shinobi 1 & 3
-Castlevania (Series)

Currently Playing:
PS3 - Demons Souls, Tekken 6
360 - SFIV, GA IV: BoGT
Wii -
PSP - FF: Dissidia
DS - Professor Layton and the Diabolical Box
PC - Far Cry 2
