If you missed Brandon Boyer’s talk on how rad the Toronto indie game scene is at the Social last week, here’s a couple of reasons why it’s great to be into videogame culture here and now.

1. The Tojam Arcade is this Saturday! Play the 72 brand new games made during the 3-day jam, have a drink, get inspired! It’s free and open to the public.
2. In an interesting article in Interactive Age, Jason Della Rocca mentions how Toronto’s “evolved an oddly thriving and experimental game scene”.
3. I just got an email from this guy, a pianist who is organizing a “project that will combine live commissioned music for small ensemble with a choreographed ‘ballet’ performed within a networked game of Halo.” He’s looking for players, it pays an honorarium and requires some rehearsing. If your headshots can be described as “utterly elegant” or “sublimely graceful” get in touch with Gregory Oh for details.
