Yes! its on! (not unlike a barrel wielding gorilla)

Hey Kids,
If you are in the San Jose side of the bay, and looking for some
gaming randomness to do this Thursday,
My friend James and I are putting this little event together
because... why not?

The ddr Mortal Kombat dance off to the death is happening this
Thursday Oct 29 at 6.30pm in the Art building on the San Jose State
campus in room 241.

bring your friends and Fatality! them with your smooth moves.

This is our first working experiment with the Dance Dance Revolution pad and World of Warcraft. Of course we are using a warlock, because they are overpowered. Next we are going to usurp some high-tech classroom smartboards and have some duels... providing we can convince the University its all in the name of EDUCATION!

"We have traveled great distances."

Shea, a CS student and I burnt the midnight oil putting together a highlight reel of games made in the last few semesters. The Game Development Club at SJSU puts together student game challenges with themes such as "pong", "platformer", "shmup", "tower defense" and a few that are open to interpretation. We also have highlights from two of our guest speakers Jameson Hsu from Mochi Media and Shannon Posniewski of Cryptic Studios. A lot of our footage was a bit poor but we did what we could. I am a little proud of it so I thought I’d show it off. Enjoy. - John

Eventually videogames will replace college and Destructoid will be the syllabus.

So let me preference this with a little back-story about my life. Hmmm, how do I say this in a way that makes total sense... I am a member of the only Non-Governmental Aid Organization in Azeroth. We help those in need in war-torn areas much like the read cross helps people on earth. We are known as the 3rd faction, we try to promote peace between horde and alliance on a PVP server. Not an easy task. For the past several months we have performing outreach events around Silicone Valley and Demon Soul. All of these events have now culminated in our big unveiling of /hug at the Laguna Art Museum in Laguna Beach California. The exhibit, WoW: Emergent Media Phenomenon, opens this weekend and runs through October 4th. If you are in the SoCal region come check it out. There are a bunch of awesome artists in the exhibition and Laguna will be hosting WoW related art events all month in conjunction with the show. Game culture was a subculture, now we are just becoming culture.



...And now, a message from /hug.

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone. I know this is super last minute but M. dot Strange, creator of We Are The Strange will be on blogtalk radio tonight at 11:00.

If you haven’t seen We Are The Strange, you can find it on torrent legally. It is almost unbearable, as it will melt your brain.
