Are you a New York-area Dtoider? Then this party’s for you!
We’ve partnered with our friends at Disqus (AKA, the people behind our comments system) to bring the Dtoid community together for an afternoon of games and fun! At Dtoid NYC Game Night, you’ll get to try out several local NYC-based games, party with their creators, and participate in tourneys for classic games like Street Fighter II and Mortal Kombat! Tournament and raffle prizes include Zen Monkey Studios t-shirts (see gallery), Steam gift cards, custom trophies, and more! There’ll be food and drinks on-hand (meaning this party is 21 and over — sorry, kids), plus plenty of awesome people from the Dtoid community, current staff, and alumni. (Jonathan Holmes, Conrad Zimmerman, and Samit Sarkar are all confirmed.)
Sound like your jam? Then head over to the registration page now and sign up! Space is extremely limited, so reserve your spot early. The doors open at 2pm on Saturday, May 24th — we hope to see you there!
Here’s a list of the games and developers in attendance:

But you have a plan! you will gather the souls of great warriors to aid you on your quest. Don’t get too attached, though; their spirit energy can only withstand so much punishment before they go back into the spiritual ooze.
