IT’S ALMOST HERE!!!

#GXEast17 starts this weekend and we’re beyond excited. Our complete schedule of panels is now online, so you can check that out and start planning your weekend.  

We’re also pleased to announce Oculus will be joining us at #GXEast17 as a platinum sponsor! They’ll have some really awesome demo stations, plus you’ll be able to meet some folks and talk VR. We're so thankful! See y'all there.

We’re going to be closing online ticket sales on Friday so if you’re looking to grab one in advance and secure your spot, please pick up yours before it’s too late and save $5! We’ll have tickets at the door too though, so if you bring a friend last minute they’ll still be able to join in on the fun.

Hey though, speaking of Friday, do you have any plans yet? Because we really think your plans should be to check out No Quarter. Our friends at the NYU Game Center commission a couple great games every year then throw a fun party to celebrate. EMi’s been going for the past couple of years and can vouch for the fact that it’s a great time. This year’s creators are Auriea Harvey, Droqen (Alexander Martin), Kitty Horrorshow, and Pietro Righi Riva. We hope we’ll see you there!

If you have any questions, don’t have your badge codes yet, or need anything please please please email us [email protected] or @gaymerx on twitter. We’re down to help and can’t wait to see you this weekend!!

I changed my mind. The End of Gameplay is amazing, actually. And correct about everything it criticizes! Strong Game of the Year 2025 contender imo.

I just finished playing droqen (of Starseed Pilgrim fame)'s new art piece, "The End of Gameplay." It was okay. I vibe with droqen's ideas on the subject of killing gameplay, but I honestly didn't enjoy his game as much as I enjoyed the following section of a tweet thread he made clarifying his thoughts on the subject:

I want Starseed Pilgrim for the Switch

It's such a pick-up-and-play-a-round type of game for me. I've never managed to finish it. I'd say mobile, but it wouldn't really work for me... I do a lot of things like "dig a block and jump/run off it before falling down" or other things that require more precision than mobile controls can consistently give.

I'd pay so much money for an expanded version of Starseed Pilgrim, too. Or Probability 0, for that matter. Same things go for Probability 0. Shoutouts to droqen for making a lot of cool games. is droqen on here

Cute Fruit [Droqen]

I don't often cover two player games because I have no-one to play with. Once in a while, I find a two player game where I can close my eyes and imagine how much fun it would be with another player.

Cute Fruit has both players navigating a small maze and competing to eat the most pieces of fruit.
