Hey world, here's a video from early February Pixel Punks DIY arcade curated by our friend Paolo Pedercini/Molleindustria along with Caitlin Boyle, Tim Sherman, and Tenley Schmida (aka Crushed Screen Collective). Check the video. They've taken our cardboard arcade aesthetic from the 1st Punk Arcade exhibition in 2012 and run with it, and made an exhibition zine too. Looking good.-LT
Arcades are not dead! Skip school and waste your time at Pixel Punks, a showcase of deranged independent games. In the depths of the Internet a brave new movement of DIY game makers is producing rough, cheap, and brilliant digital entertainment. Their budget is zero. Their deadlines are whenever they want. Their games are fast and direct like a three-chord-song or visceral and political like a photocopied zine. Pixel Punks is an homage and a gateway drug to this exciting phenomenon.
