Transposed from Gaiiden’s Scroll
I hopped up to the city today to attend the NYC IGDA chapter’s annual holiday get-together. Which means game developers from all over the city and outlying suburbs converge in one location, take over a bar and party and drink. Good stuff. The bar we took over was the Hi-Fi on Avenue A, easily reachable by subway of course. When I got there a bit after 8 the place was pretty jam packed, which wasn’t a surprise as 257 people RSVP’d for the event, and the bar wasn’t that big. But that’s usually the case with parties like these anyways. Not to mention that these places are always loud, because you have the music and then everyone talking, so you’re talking over the music and other people while they try to talk over you and everyone else and what you end up with is a cacophony of noise. It was also so damn hot in there that I had to step outside twice to cool off.
Okay enough of my whining right? Really I just wanted to give an idea of what these kind of parties are like, since it’s just the same at GDC and other conferences. So I’m actually used to it by now. Anyways I got to see a lot of people I don’t get to see often, which is always great. Got caught up on a lot of goings on and met up with several interesting people. One guy was talking about using Torque to build a computer board game from a real board game and when he found out I used Torque he was like “we need to talk!”. Then there’s another developer I was introduced to that was working on some really cool tech he said he’d be happy to write up about for the site – so I gave him my card and hopefully I’ll hear from him after GDC. Talked to the folk from Heavy Melody about audio content, and met an artist who said he might be interested in doing some content as well.
GDC Game Preview!!
The highlight of the evening however was Gamelab’s beta test of their GDC conference game – Destroy All Developers!. Now this is finally a game I can play at GDC because it involves networking, which is something I love to do anyway! The way the game played out tonight was you pick a team to be on – programmer, designer, musician, artist, production, business (I think that’s it) – and are handed a card with a mission. My mission was Phone Digits: bugging communications. I had three missions I could do:
- Casual Mission (20pts) – collect 3 business cards with a phone number that ends in even digits
- Gamer Mission (50pts) – collect 2 business cards with a phone number that ends in 0
- Hardcore Mission (100pts) – collect 10 cards, each with a phone number that ends in a different digit
Once you complete one of the missions, you turn the card in for points and are assigned a new mission. You can “level up” by earning enough points to reach Gamer and Hardcore levels. Hardcore players get special assassination missions, where they’re assigned a random participant to seek out. I got there too late and was too busy chatting with people to bother to take the time and learn how to play, but now that I know I’m definitely playing at GDC.

So it was a good night of hanging out with great people. I love the NYC development scene. It’s still small enough that you can know pretty much everyone, but big enough to be considered a serious development community in its own right. If you’re in the greater NYC area I’d definitely recommend you look to attend these gatherings if you can. Ride a train into the city and the subway will take you wherever you need to go from Penn Station. Heck if you’re a bit unsure ever just email me and I’d be glad to help you get out to one of these events.

Aber genau hier ist das Lucky7even Casino leider etwas nachlässig und bietet dir keine Möglichkeit an, eigene Limits zu setzen.

Some casinos, like Sky Vegas or FanDuel Casino, relax these
wagering rules for their bonuses, but often you will find you need
to play through a specific amount before
getting your hands on any prize money. To keep you in the loop, we have a special page
dedicated to the latest casino bonuses and bonus codes where we publish all
the new bonus offers (and their respective bonus code) as they come up on the
gambling sites! In addition, many online casinos are quick to follow up on the welcome bonus with other promotions.
Almost every single trusted online casino you see here on PokerNews offers welcome bonuses to their
new customers. The uncomfortable truth about online casinos, even in 2025, is that a lot
of online casino guides play dirty and try to
sell you illegal, rogue casinos (sometimes called ‘black
market casinos’). With so many alternatives to choose from, picking the right real money online
casino (if not the best online casino altogether) can feel
overwhelming.
Licensed and secure online casino sites consistently inspire more confidence among players,
as they must adhere to strict regulations around fairness and
security. The best online gambling sites for real
money are 100% safe as long as you sign up with a fully licensed gambling site.
We’ve chosen the best gambling sites online with the most generous bonuses
and promo codes in terms of the size and regularity of the offers, as well as
their wagering requirements. Whether you’re into parlays, props, or live bets, these safe online casinos make
it easy to switch between casino and sports whenever the mood hits.
We made sure to narrow down our list to include the best online gambling sites with a)
the best games, b) the newest games, and c) the most game variety.
When it comes to legit casino sites down under, there
are plenty of online casinos Australia that are 100% legit.
Known as “21” in some regions, blackjack is a classic card game that combines skill and luck.

Wagering requirements is the number of times the sum of the bonus
should be played for, to enable the player to withdraw the money they win using this bonus.
Other promotions include weekly and monthly bonuses, birthday gifts, free spins, tournaments, and also loyalty points earned by regular playing.

For example, live dealer and table games may
count for just 10% or lower because they have a higher return-to-player rate.
