[GAMBIT-UROPS-summon] Friday Games 10/21/11 - 2012 IGF Pirate Kart

[Philip Tan]

At 4pm this Friday, we'll be playing games from the 2012 IGF Pirate Kart! As
Mike Meyer explains from the website: <http://www.piratekart.com/>

A Pirate Kart is a very very inclusive game compilation made in a hurry.
Jeremy Penner came up with the idea for the first Pirate Kart as a way for
the Glorious Trainwrecks community to collaborate on something for
TIGSource's "B-Game" competition. To galvanize the community, he set an
absurd goal: make 100 games in 48 hours and package them as a single entry
in the competition.

The IGF Pirate Kart continues the spirit of the Pirate Kart but with a new
twist: instead of making brand new games for it, mostly people are entering
the games that they are proud of, but not "big" or "polished" or "real"
enough to be worth the entry fee.

The 2012 IGF Pirate Kart has been entered into the 2012 Indie Games
Festival, but the games are already available via BitTorrent and mirror
sites <http://www.piratekart.com/>. You can check out the full list of
games here <http://www.piratekart.com/creators.html>.

Join us at 4pm on the third floor of 5 Cambridge Center! (Cambridge, MA
02142)
