Where ambitious young professionals connect and grow
Gamers!
A group of fanboys and fangirls alike for the purposes of celebrating, bemoaning, and shootin' the breeze about videogames. While topics can certainly be serious or philosophical, frivolous discussions (and link-sharing!) are also plenty welcome.
The "Video Games Industry" group is designed for folks interested in the business of games: this group is for purely for the player perspective. Have fun!

If anyone is in the NYC area, you should stop by NYU to check out their 2nd Annual "No Quarter" exhibit of indie games. There are a handful of great games on display for the rest of the month, and it's an opportunity to check out the amazing NYU Game Center! - http://bit.ly/jKlgyy

Hi, just wanted to introduce myself. I'm a game designer and author. My first card game is coming out next year, but I've been freelancing for the gaming industry for a while. Right now I'm sticking mostly to playing DS games to help me stick with deadlines, but this is the slow season for conventions. Which means I have lots of projects to complete before that kicks up again.
Any other game designers lurking about?

1) Prince of Persia - Sands of Time
2) Tales of the Abyss. Decent system for an RPG, and one of the better storylines I've seen.
3) Mirror's Edge
4) Final Fantasy IX (one of the first games I played all the way through, actually)

At this rate I'll be done with the game within a week, so I should really slow down... but it's so fun!
