I am starting this group because I love playing video games. From the days when controllers were called joysticks, and had only 1 button. When no one would think you were crazy for sticking a spoon, fork, or whatever you could find laying around, into your console to make said console work. And, $.25 was all you needed to try out any game at the arcade. For me games have always been social, even the 1 player games, and RPGs. Todays games allow us to play with and against far more people than we …

This meetup is my attempt at pulling together a team of creative and talented game developers. We will discuss and pool together some of our best ideas and work towards seeing them to fruition. To note, this group is not purely devoted to game design. If you have an idea for an application, piece of software, or website this group can help make it happen.     Follow us at Facebook.com http://www.facebook.com/pages/Independent-Game-Design/130182790361850

There doesn't seem to be any specific meetup group that fits what I'm really looking for on here. I'm in my mid-late 30's, live in West LA and SO not into the bar/club scene or meetups with tons of people. I love board games (U.S.) and pop-culture trivia so I thought I'd start my own group to host @ game night in my home. I also prefer smaller (local) groups of people to meet and hang out with - it's just easier to get to know new people and it's more personal. There's no need to try to find a p …
