We’ll be launching the retrofitted arcade cabinet we’ve filled with homegrown indie games this Sunday, November 1st at the Canzine Artcade at the Gladstone Hotel (1214 Queen St W, east of Dufferin). Come try it out!

We will be in room 212 from 1-7pm. At 5pm, Hand Eye Society member Jph Wacheski, who built the cabinet, will be doing a slide show/Q&A entitled “Build Your Own Arcade Cabinet: Under the Hood of the Torontron”.

All day attractions, run by Hand Eye Society volunteers, include:

• Draw your own videogame character!
• Circuit bending-style game design!
• 3D sculptural sketching in a first person shooter!

Canzine is a super-inspiring annual zine and indie culture fair with hundreds of vendors. This is the second year we’re doing an Artcade there, last year’s was really fun. It’s a great way to meet fellow artists in different disciplines, especially illustrators, writers and musicians. Canzine costs $5 at the door.

Please spread the word to the gamers and the game-curious folks you know!
