This Week in GCS

Submitted by tvaughan on Thu, 10/11/2012 - 14:56

1. Our meeting is this Friday at in NSH 3002 @ 5. NOT 4:30! Which leads into the next point...

2. DoubleFine speaker! Anna Kipnis from DoubleFine (Psychonauts, Brutal Legend, Happy Action Theater, Stacking, Trenched, The Cave, etc) is going to be speaking to GCS this Friday over Skype. This is a new thing for us, and if it works out we'll probably try to do more Skype speaker talks in the future. Anna will be talking about her experiences at DoubleFine, about setting up MolyJam (a game jam centered around the tweets of a parody Twitter account of Peter Molydeux), and will be answering questions. Additionally, one of our GCS alums (Duncan Boehle) will also be around to answer questions at the end of the talk. :)

3. Board games! We're gonna play board games after the talk. I'm bringing a few (Dixit, Once Upon a Time) and other people are bringing some. If you have a game you want to play, go ahead and bring it.

4. New contest! Our current game contest is going to close next Friday. The theme is "Dover Beach" -- more details here.

5. Facebook group! We're starting a Facebook group because why the hell not. We'll probably use it to talk about what we want to do at meetings and what kinds of activities people are interested in. So join up!
