Do you live in the South and love video games? Do you hate that we don’t have a PAX or anything other than QuakeCon?
Well then you should come down toFantastic Arcadein Austin, Texas atThe Highballthis weekend. From Sept. 22 to 25, indie game developers from around the world will be showing off their games and getting (very) drunk. As someone who attended last year’s debut, I must say there isn’t a better event to meet developers in person, play their games or pitch your own. It’s the only event to have the intimacy of a bar and the craziness of a brothel.
The best part? It’s all free! In return, it’s expected that you stroke some of the developer’s egos (but nothing else, I hope).
Here are some of this year’s highlights:
If you do attend, feel free to say hi to the immaculately chiseled Destructoid associate editor Sean “Fantastic” Carey and myself. I am always up for a game ofToobin’at the venue’s free-to-play arcade!
Be sure to check out previews of games here at Dtoid over the weekend, as well as sister siteFlixistfor film coverage coming out of Fantastic Fest (Arcade’s larger, film companion).
