…The above is courtesy of Babs Tarr, aka basically the hottest cartoonists in the biz at this very moment. Am thrilled that she was able to find time out of her busy schedule (Babs was recently enlisted by DC Comics to give Batgirl a makeover, and her first issue hits newsstands in a little over a month), to take part in Fangamer ? Attract Mode.

But yeah, we’re a little over 48 hours away from showtime, so needless to say, it’s a bit of a madhouse on my end, as well as Fangamer’s. But rest assured, the 2014 edition of the Game Art/Chiptune/Indie Arcade/Drinkathon Seattle Special shall be the best one yet.

Hopefully you’ve caught a few glimpses of the gorgeous artwork that awaits this year! Admittedly, it’s been a little tough getting people’s attention this time around; not sure if you’ve caught a few of the headlines going around, but some not so cool folks out there are giving video games a bad name.

So perhaps the following, which is just a taste of things to come, will remind everyone that there’s still a lot to love about electronic entertainment. Anyhow who else will be part of the festivities? Well, there’s…

…And don’t forget, there’s even more awesomeness in store. Along with music (the headliners from our first and second shindigs are joining forces, along with a possible special surprise), drinks (a show about love is all about feeling warm and fuzzy, and the Drunken Moogle is an expert at that), and of course, games.

Though a bit more about that last part; again, we’ve featured Particle Mace in the past (Attract Mode was one of the very first places to spread the word, not to brag), so here’s a closer look at Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime

And a friendly reminder; we have THREE games on tap this year! Can you handle the Vanguard V?

Another friendly reminder; save yourself a lengthy wait in line by purchasing tickets in advance. Also, please RSVP on Facebook if you can, so we’ll know to expect you!
