Independent Video Game Showcase
We recently got wind of the fact that Austin, Texas is hosting the Independent Video Game Showcase. If you're in the area, it should be worth going to. I think the best part about indie games is that when players give feedback, the developers actually listen.

You can also join the Facebook event for it, so you'll receive a reminder that the event is taking place. Plus, you can invite your friends to it!

What follows is the press release and various bits of media:

You've played 2D games, you've played 3D games, but have you played inD games? On August 11th Austin hosts the Independent Video Game Showcase. Come play the latest titles from Austin's indie developers, meet other game hobbyists and professionals, and learn about the design process as it unfolds in an independent setting from the teams behind this year's games.

Admission is free, so bring your friends!

The showcase will be held in the ACC Highland Business Center (5930 Middle Fiskville Road, Austin, TX) from 6:00pm to 9:00pm on August 11th 2008.
It's being put on by the HBMG Foundation. Check out their site for a preview of some of the games that will be there.

Akashik
I just noticed that War, an EA Journals regular poster and one of the people who help create the online comic Akashik, announced that he she will be attending and having her own booth Ancient City Con (a sci-fi/fantasy/comics/anime/etc convention) in Jacksonville, Florida this year (August 2nd and 3rd).

If you're in the area, you might consider attending!

E3 Wii Coverage
I found this nice article detailing basically what Nintendo showed off at E3 this year:

http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2325742,00.asp

I'm excited for the new Animal Crossing

Wii Music looks... eh, lame? Although, 60 instruments is neat. If you could record your voice and music that would make it pretty nice, but alas, I don't see that happening (even though, apparently Animal Crossing might eventually support a Microphone).

Does anyone else have some good summaries of what Microsoft and Sony announced?

EDIT: As of now, none of their links on their article seem to work... but the information is still good.

Archive Donations 3.0!
I am pleased to announce our much improved Donation system! We've taken feedback from users who have found our previous donation system too cumbersome to use and we've streamlined the process greatly.

No longer do potential donors have to go to a different site, register a store-specific user account, provide personal information, select a 'quantity' of donations, and later then return to the store site to activate the donation. Now a quick wizard-style interface walks you through much fewer steps in a single, integrated process!

For even more convenience, you now also have the option of automatically donating at specific intervals. Also included in the upgrade are two new features: Forums Profile Page Style Customization, and Forums Photo Albums!

So what are you waiting for? Help The Archive, Donate now!
