LAN Party is an interactive comedy show where comedians play video games alongside a live audience.
It’s like a big video game hang out party, where the audience is encouraged to shout out directions and advice as the comedians make their way through the weird video games chosen for them to play.
This month, we’re going to be hunting dinosaurs in TUROK with comedians Emily Winter and Chris Calogero!
So come to the The Creek and The Cave in NYC at 8 PM to hang out! Or follow online at https://www.twitch.tv/harddrivenews. Either way, the show is totally free!
Welcome to Peanut Butter Game Jam where a handful of game developers will compete for the ultimate prize, a Jar of Grade A Peanut Butter.
Each programmer will have 5-10 minutes to present their own custom video game they created over the last month or two. They will prove to a captivated live audience their respective game is best.
There will be an Audience Vote at the end to determine the The Peanut Butter Champ!
The theme of our first show? Peanut Butter. Programmers will have to make a game that somehow incorporates this theme.
Come ready to jam!
The annual Unity Developer Day conference tour is returning to New York City — join us for an exciting day of development talks, games, and more at Unity Developer Day: New York this September 8th!
Unity Developer Day is a conference series dedicated to supporting local developers through the exchange of stories and skills that promote the creation of successful Unity games and interactive media.
Our New York edition brings together local game creators and Unity staff to share their expertise through two full-day conference tracks, networking lunch, and showcase of local games and projects made with Unity.
Expert Unity evangelists and staff will give talks focused on how local developers can get the most out of their work with Unity and its services. They’ll cover topics like Unity’s Entity Component System / C# Job System, Shader Graph, Machine Learning, Scriptable Render Pipeline, Photogrammetry, & more!
Local speakers will share experiences and insights gained throughout the creation of their Unity games – be it through programming, design, art, audio, business, and more.

Please join us for a free screening of The Lost Arcade with Director/Producer Irene Chin who will be present for a Q&A at the end. The film is approximately one hour and 16 minutes long and premiered in 2016.
Many of us were raised in Chinatown and remember fondly about Chinatown Fair, and many of you remember it being on the other side of the street under the Port Arthur Restaurant. I myself, had a visited Chinatown fair many times having lived only mere blocks from Mott Street.

Blinking, beaming, and ringing, The Lost Arcade intimately memorializes the end of video arcades in New York City, while celebrating the camaraderie and history of a pop culture phenomenon. The film is an exceptional directorial debut that focuses on the Chinatown Fair, the Mott Street landmark where generations honed their craft, made friends and lost at tic-tac-toe to a chicken. Masterfully presenting the sights and sounds of a changing scene, wistful yet hopeful, and full of the faces and characters that radiate fun and innovation, The Lost Arcade is a dazzling portrait of technostalgia and a timely commentary on the corporate era’s incineration of modest businesses, and the resiliency of the dedicated enthusiasts.
Director/Producer Irene Chin will host a Q&A after screening.
Tickets are $15 and include wine and Museum admission. Members receive complimentary tickets. Not a Member? Join today!
Irene Chin is a filmmaker and writer originally from Alexandria, Virginia and Honolulu, Hawaii, and now lives in Brooklyn, New York. Her first short film as director/producer, The Bachelorette Party, premiered at the NewFilmmakers NY series at Anthology Film Archives. Her first documentary as writer/producer, The Lost Arcade, premiered at DOC NYC and went on to screen at the International Film Festival Rotterdam, Wexner Center for the Arts, Open City Docs London, Melbourne International Film Festival, Glasgow International Film Festival, IFFBoston. The New York Times called The Lost Arcade, “Part scrappy, part sweet, and wholly enjoyable…a love letter to a vanished piece of New York.” The New Yorker said the film was “raw and intimate.” Irene graduated from the School of Visual Arts in New York.

Seattle? Montreal? Why is E3 held in Los Angeles? Those places hardly compare to New York City, the mecca of innovative creators, risk takers, and go getters. Diversity, technology, and art all intersect and thrive in this magical place; so why is New York often cast to the side within the gaming industry? Why aren’t we recognized more for the cultural impacts our major players make?
Join us as we delve into the complex realities of New York City’s gaming industry. From the five boroughs and beyond, we’ll discuss what it is like for developers, players, and publishers to work, thrive, and succeed in the greatest city in the world.
Panelists TBA.
