LONG LIVE THE PRINCE

Yeah! Pretty excited about this, It's been a while in the making and it will be a great time! :beer:

Very, very yes.  :noir:

psyched, psyched and psyched.

fff no way to get there in time.

Yes. Yes I shall be there. What games will be available?

Ill definitely be there peps! But what exactly will happen there, will it be pretty much exactly like our monthly meetups but bigger with more people and more formally organized, or is it something different?

This is definitely something different. It's going to be a party. There will be bands playing. There will be dancing. There will be projectors set up with awesome indie games for people to play. There will be drinking. And there will be more surprises.

This night is a celebration for the indie scene, and we'll be partying hard out of respect.  :beer:

you realize we'll still be 80%+ men

not that there's anything wrong with dancing men...

i'll be there btw

Well I'll be shakin' it at the very least, so therefore that statement is still true haha!

I'm not organizing the thing, but me and Aliceffekt are making Pico³ (http://forums.tigsource.com/index.php?topic=15392.0) for this thing, so if there's a spot it'll be playable!

Pico(cubed) looks pretty rad! I am a sucker for a game with primary colours and square blocks.

Also! We got a mention at
 Game Set Watch! (http://www.gamesetwatch.com/2010/10/migs_2010s_prince_of_arcade_in.php)

We're starting to roll out all the game that will be available at the event! We got some magic happening here ladies and gentlemen.

First on the list Pico3 by Aliceffekt and Renaud Bédard! Take a look!

And there's finally a follow-up post from the Mount Royal Game Society (http://www.montrealindies.com/?p=115).

Thanks again, gals and ghouls. That was a slice.

Yeah, I was supposed to write something but I kinda forgot :P So lemme rectify this situation by writing this quick article:


I think my point is clear enough!
Long live the prince!

Uh, excuse me, but I THINK YOU FORGOT THE <BLINK> TAG.

:)

Glad you enjoyed. I certainly did.
