Were you at TGW 25? Did you play protest games under a ufo? Invent giant parachute games with a fully armoured knight? Colour with your face on a giant silo with Olivia Chow? Find a giant rat in the depths of Toronto? Relive the glory in 3m thanks to Tate Young www.youtube.com/watch?v=lNf-...

A crowd of people listen to a bearded man an art gallery describe what he feels is of cultural value about a variety of video games.

TGW co-founder @jimmunroe.net has curated another @agotoronto.bsky.social showcase -- and as many of us are trying to buy north of the border these days, this one features all homegrown talent. Details here: www.facebook.com/share/16bt91...
