Melbourne gamers meet-up this weekend February 9

PALGN News | Your reminder to come liaise with fellow gamers.

We're all about community here at PALGN and we love the idea of meeting up with our readers and having a discussion about all things gaming and everything else. This is why we've teamed up with Australian Gamer to coordinate the Melbourne Gamers Meet.

The Melbourne Gamers Meet is on this Saturday the 9th of February. It commences at 3PM with a BBQ by the Yarra, (on the Capital City Trail just across the river from Flinders) and those older than 18 may want to join the group in moving on to the James Squire Brewhouse at 8PM.

Here's your chance to catch up with PALGN & Australian Gamer staff, community members and readers. For more information head to the official website. We hope to see you there!

Sounds like fun! I’d be keen to meet some of the PALGN members so I might make the trip into the city for it.

We had a guy catch the train from Sunny to Brisbane just for the one night of partying and fun at the Brisbane Meetup. Man up and make the move!

But I'm a recluse, and plus last time I was in a pub I distinctly remember the colour of their toilet walls.

I dunno I may swing by, only if someone piggy backs me around.

Sorry man, I'm doing my hair that night..... Actually I'm out of town somewhere in country Victoria for an engagement party that day and night. So just like Joy Division said, "love will tear us apart" yet again.

I was actually looking forward to meeting some of you guys. Guess it will have to wait until next time.

Actually, ignore that, I can come. I just rememberedmy roster changed this week, so I'll be there. I'll have to disappear around 10 though so I'll only be able to enjoy a couple of brewskies (I can't believe I just used the term "brewskies").

Slacker Tristan

It should be a great event, I'm promoting it on all the other gaming forums so the turnout should be decent. We've run 2 'gamers meetups' in Brisbane and one in Perth last year, and they all had a good turnout and were kick ass fun (as anyone who attended them will tell you).

The point of these is to do non-gaming activities, but with other games. Nothing worse than being at a pub and mentioning you play Mario only to get looked at as some kind of freak. Not at these meetups.

Looking forward to seeing you all there!! If it goes well, we'll definitely do it more often, and Sydney and Adelaide ones are next on the cards.

It's times like these I hate being a Perthie.

Take advantage of it, Melbournites, not all of us are so lucky

I'll be in on the nexy one as long as Yug throws out a bit more notice! Party hard Guys & Girls!
