May Meetup

Frankly, we’re a little bit disappointed in ourselves. Here we’d been given this golden opportunity to name our upcoming meetup something extraordinarily clever, like “MAYhem” or “May the 4th Be With You,” but instead what worked its way into the post title and banner image above was the entirely accurate and immensely banal “May Meetup.” Well heck, we may not be proud, here at the MRGS—but by Humphrey we’re descriptive. Please, examine the information below whilst we compose ourselves.

WHEN
Wednesday, May 4th, 19h30

WHERE
Brasserie Artisanale l’Amère à Boire, 2049 rue Saint-Denis, 3rd floor

WHO
Repeat the words “semantic satiation” to yourself until they lose their meaning. At this point, everyone within earshot has been invited involuntarily.

WHAT
Fresh off the release of Rebirth, Monsieur Daniel-David “Guert” Guertin will regale us with tales of woe and less-woe from his last few projects, both as part of a team developing iPhone games, and on his own most latest project. Most latest? Oh woe.

April Roundup

Well blow us down and refer to us collectively as a monkey’s uncle—this month’s meetup was an administrative success for all ages 18 and over!

After a quick rundown of coming events (read: go register for TOJam on Monday, April 11th), we came to the gooey caramel centre of things: the caramel and/or games. Francis Coulombe gave a sneak peek at his work on Prosthetic, a frenetic Genesis-era shooter for heavy metal metalheads Last Chance To Reason. And it was good. And then we played GIRP together, and Sumotori, and Winner vs. Loser, and those were good too. It was a pretty good night. Let’s keep this energy going for added multipliers!

All interested parties are encouraged in a totally non-judgmental and peer pressure-free way to come out for our weekly mini jams. The non-denominational fun goes down at Foonzo tomorrow (April 10th) any time after lunch—and as luck and cosmic circumstance would have it, that coincides with the first monthly Blitzkast jam! You literally have no excuse admissible in a court of law!

Onwards!
