WE’RE THROWING AN E3 PARTY: Game Night @ Giant Robot Featuring Gaijin Games
Yes, it will be fun as all get out // Yes, you are invited // rsvp on bookface
Forget all those snobby E3 parties for "industry only" folks; we're taking it to the streets (or at least to the parking lot).
We're throwing an E3 party this Monday night at GR2 in the calm before the storm. Come hang out with your friends, relax, and enjoy fun games and delicious food before the flurry of craziness begins Tuesday morning.
This is the first Game Night at Giant Robot. It's a bi-monthly low-key event we're running to help build up the VG community in LA. This first one is all about the excellent Bit.Trip series by Gaijin Games. The equally excellent Gaijin Games crew will be in attendance, so here's your chance to school them at their own games.
More reasons to come:
- Games projected on the side of the building (!)
- Bit.Trip themed menu items next door at Giant Robot's restaurant: gr/eats
- Photo-realistic graphics and life-like conversation system
- Because I love you
Check out the the press release for the nitty gritty. (Thanks for putting the release together, Martin!)

In conjunction with the Attract Mode videogame culture shop and LA Game Space, Giant Robot is proud to host Game Night, a pre-E3 party putting a spotlight on Gaijin Games. Gaijin Games is a small indie studio from Santa Cruz, CA that makes the Bit.Trip series of retro pixelated games for the Wii. Their work will be projected on the side of the building and the actual developers will be in attendance to hang out and play with fans. There will also be Bit.Trip-themed food available at gr/eats.
Game Night is a new event that will be taking place at GR2 every two months. Each evening will feature a different developer and its games in a relaxed, community-building setting. Because of the onset of E3, many members of the videogame industry are expected to attend the inaugural gathering, which will be a great opportunity for the game-playing public since most parties related to the Electronic Entertainment Expo are invitation-only.
Giant Robot was born as a Los Angeles-based magazine about Asian, Asian-American, and new hybrid culture in 1994, but has evolved into a full-service pop culture provider with shops and galleries in Los Angeles, San Francisco, and New York City, as well as an online equivalent.
Game Night will take place on June 14 from 7:30 - 10:00. For more information about Game Night, GR2, or Giant Robot magazine, please contact:
