Burritos? Tacos? What’s the deal — ¿que’s the dillas?

With that successful mangling of not one but TWO languages, it’s time for another monthly meetup — and a surprising twist! A scheduling conflict! A dramatic reversal, a thematic upheaval! A different place with food and beer, where we will look at and discuss video games.

WHEN
Wednesday, February 1st, 19h30

WHERE
Burritoville, 2055 rue Bishop, top floor (internet map).

WHAT
You are presently jamming away at the Montreal variant of the Global Game Jam this weekend. Of course you are. You will make incredible and wondrous things! And we will play them!

All participants of the GGJ are invited to bring along their barely completed, hardly playtested, first-draft Jam games out for a celebration of all things hastily produced. Did you produce something hastily? Let us know down in the comments and we’ll play them all in an orderly fashion!

Come along and — taco in hand — we will sing the praises, and marvel at the wonders, of our amazing Global Game Jam lineup. Me gusta!

Burritos? Tacos? Meetup? MENOUM.

Surprise! Ce mois-ci, un conflit d’horaire nous oblige à envahir un nouveau lieu avec nos discussions de jeux vidéo! Bouffe mexicaine, bière et pixels au rendez-vous.

QUAND?
Mercredi 1er février à 19h30

OÙ? – À vos crayons, il faut noter ceci!
Burritoville, 2055 rue Bishop, dernier étage

QUOI?
En ce moment même plusieurs d’entre nous participent au Global Game Jam. Profitons donc de l’occasion pour présenter les petites merveilles que vous aurez créé. Tous les participants de l’évènement sont invité à apporter le fruit de leur labeur! As-tu par bonheur fabriqué un jeu dans la hâte et la fatigue? Fais-le nous savoir dans les commentaires et nous les jouerons/testerons tous dans le désordre.

Allez, venez tous – un tacos à la main, une manette dans l’autre – nous chanterons des cantiques au rythme des pixels que vous nous présenterez. Me gusta!
