Oh yeah and there's a games hacking day on Saturday as well, in the afternoon, with chiptunes bands.

HEY - I know I'm new AND I've been off-forum for a few weeks,
but I thought you wouldn't mind knowing that there's two things at Babycastles this weekend.
It would be fun to see some of you again! This time it's back in the basement,
and kinda really beautiful or ... funny.

Like Heavy Rain

"A must-play game not only because it’s hilarious…
…but also because it shows how great our brain is!"

- Adam Saltsman (Austin)

A simple one-button action game where you are in control of a well-dressed man who can't stop running, leaping from the top of one building to another as the city is being attacked by giant robots and futuristic-looking ships. Created for Experimental Gameplay Project's August theme, 'Bare Minimum'.

A foddy Babycastles exclusive! This is a mutiplayer one-button   game that was recently rejected by Kokoromi's Gamma 4. Definitely requires alcohol to make champions.

A 3D action dungeon crawler put together using a community of creative commons resources, including characters, fonts, sound effects, chiptunes, and other art.

- Tristan Perich (New York)

Originally debuting in the back of Blip Festival 2007, KILLJET is Tristan Perich's contribution to lo-fi video game culture. The entire 1-bit video game runs out of a single digital pin of a programmable microchip, which is soldered directly into the television screen. Anamanaguchi forever holds the high score.

This more than lives up to my expectations!

Indigo Prophecy was like 100% brilliant and fun and at the same time 100% lol about the gameplay.
I can't describe it, but that's why it was profound.
The controls were as ridiculous as they could have imagined.
The gameplay stats like your sanity meter were basically pure nonsense.
It's how I learned never to mix meds with alcohol...

Would totally rock !  Oh no it went around the blog world with totally incorrect information about the Global Game Jam happening in Sydney, Australia.

 D: OOPS!!!  But that sure is a cute picture

Hi - I'm putting up GNILLEY from sydney + 5 other local games at a brooklyn arcade.  I think that the yelling game will kind of be amazing in an arcade.  I'm psyched for how it turns out ---

BUT,. I'm not a gamer and I'm not a game designer, as you can see by me0wtr0n.  So I need some gamer kinda people to make it out from time to time and tell me what's generally important to do with the indie arcade i run!  Come Tuesday night if you are free and talk!  I've been feeling it out for three months and so far it's always making ground.

Wow.

Actually, ranting on kotakus readers is fine.   I remember that cory arcangel moment.   I dont think destructoid is too different.   How do different communities still take hold on generic sites? And what do sites do to engender their specific communities i.e. howv did kotaku get such a shitty pile? What about the cory arcangel article / article failed its readers?

Wasn't the charm of Indigo Prophecy the sarcasm? Although it got over the top at the end...

Heavy Rain seems to heavily live up to its predecessor in that sense. I'm really psyched.
TOO PSYCHED.
