The Average Gamer

Gamer Geek Meet – London, June 20th 2007

Do you love playing DS games? Do you have a burning desire to one-up other people with your undying love for Sega? Do you like to bitch about Edge?

If you like to talk about games then you should head to The College Arms on Store Street (WC1) at 7pm on June 20th 2007. There you will find the third London Geek Gamers Night.

Here are the details from Upcoming.org:

A geeky games-type thing where we do stuff like:

  • bring your DS and swap games! (extra points for bringing a Game Gear or a Lynx)
  • shout about Sony Home! (and, by logical extension, how no one you know owns a PS3!)
  • make jokes about Second Life!
  • wail at games awards!
  • try and one-up one another about how much you love Sega!
  • proclaim your love for UK Resistance!
  • bitch about EDGE!
  • play games like Set and Blue Moon!
  • exchange invite codes to l33t betas!

at the same time as:

  • drinking.

The emphasis is more on talking about games rather than actually playing them, but don’t be surprised if small pockets of people start playing games.

For those of you who are (understandably) nervous at turning up to a pub to meet a bunch of unknown drunken potential-nutters, Dan Hon has write-up of the 2nd London Gamer Geeks Night. Forewarned is forarmed.

I haven’t been to any of these meets myself. I shall be a total newbie at the June session. Let me know if you are coming and I’ll see you there!
