One part nerd, one part slurred, Super Trashed Bros brings together comedy, video games and alcohol at a super rad bar in Brooklyn. Join comedians Jesse McGrath, Seamus Calder, Rachel Levinson as well as Brandon Garner as they virtually battle amongst themselves while physically battling inebriation. Audience participation is essential as a live crowd and online viewers—from the streaming platform Twitch—suggest new rules and new gags. Power-up, throw down and push buttons (in more ways than one)!
This show is a tournament. Drinking jaRules apply! And there are lots of prizes, including a bar tab for the first place competitor!

SPECIFICALLY FOR INDEPENDENT GAME DEVELOPERS AND GAMING FANS
Gameacon is the only conference of its kind — one that combines the business-to-business networking and educational opportunities of the GDC with the entertainment and public feedback aspects of Magfest or Pax. And it all focuses exclusively on independent game developers from around the world. Our mission is to promote independent artists in game creation by providing a space for them to showcase their work, the opportunity to reach an audience who craves to see it, and a forum to learn from each other.
Features: cosplay, game arcade, tournaments, LARPing, contests, presentations and panels, and more!
Please note that there are different passes available for sale – general admission and industry. Check the Gameacon website for more details and to purchase passes.
Celebrating Gaming, Game Developers, and Gamers of all kinds
Gameacon celebrates the artistry of games and game creation. That’s what our name stands for – The Game Arts Conference. If you love video games, board games, esports, LARPing or the geek culture that surrounds it, then you will love Gameacon.
