From Game Night To Pixel Pushers

Posted: 11/07/2010

Our first Game Night with Giant Robot and Attract Mode was a blast, a gaming get together full of Super Meat Boy, The Typing of the Dead, Super Street Fighter IV, tasty pork buns and the occasional gothic lolita maid. We’re hoping to do it again real soon, if you didn’t have a chance to make it out. Fortunately, it was all captured on film by our friends at Angry Bananas.

Don’t let this terribly awkward video thumbnail turn you off… Check it!!

And speaking of Giant Robot, starting November 13, the Pixel Pushers exhibition hits the Scion art space in Culver City. Featured at the show will be the art, games and music of Matt Furie, Jude Buffum, Chevy Ray Johnston, Nullsleep and so much more.

The big draw will likely be the NES styled Scion xB designed by Eric Nakamura. We’ve seen pictures of the thing in action — you can sit in the driver’s seat and play Return of the Quack on it! — and it really shouldn’t be missed. The Pixel Pushers opening reception kicks off at 7pm on November 13, with the show running at the Scion Installation LA until December 11.
