If you read just one account of [the gay/nerd pride event GaymerX](http://www.vice.com/read/gay-geeks-unite-against-homophobia-in-video-games?ref=killscreen.com), held last week in Japantown in San Francisco, it should probably be Vice’s. As a bonus, homemade Pokéballs!

The *NY Times* got [tech-y](http://www.nytimes.com/2013/08/07/arts/video-games/your-first-video-game-crush.html?%5Fr=0&ref=killscreen.com) this past week as they featured pieces from video game designers and their “first video game crushes.” They’re not talking about Lara Croft either.

*Pixelate* tastily proves the world needs more competitive eating games. We want to know can they do this with tiramisu and a spoon.

We remember having to “play” *Disney’s Adventures in Typing with Timon & Pumbaa* once a week in 3rd grade. Step aside, Simba. We now have [*Icarus Proudbottom Teaches Typing*](http://www.holywowstudios.com/teachestyping/?ref=killscreen.com), an equally absurd typing game where you can “become **A GOD OF TYPING!**”

> My job as a designer is to feed players with enough datapoints to validate any assumption they may have.

—[Robin Arnott, *Deep Sea* and *Antichamber* sound designer](http://soundselfgame.com/forum/index.php?topic=43.0&ref=killscreen.com) on his magical mystical work-in-progress *SoundSelf* (pictured in the header).

Hideki Kamiya (director of *Viewtiful Joe*, *Okami*, mack daddy) has been under the radar since *Bayonetta*. But hold your breath no longer—a trailer for his newest project on the Wii U, *The Wonderful 101*, just [dropped](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bNefE89DZds&feature=player%5Fembedded&ref=killscreen.com). Looks insane!

[No down on their luck Eastern European immigrants were harmed in the making of *Cart Life*](http://www.edge-online.com/features/the-making-of-cart-life/?ref=killscreen.com). Good to know!

[StarCraft 2 has been ousted from Major League Gaming’s esports line up](http://www.polygon.com/2013/8/8/4602302/mlg-starcraft-2-pro-circuit-championship-columbus?ref=killscreen.com). We wonder if poor ratings or contract issues were to blame.

If you’ve got nothing to do and *really* like cookies: [build your empire](http://orteil.dashnet.org/experiments/cookie/?ref=killscreen.com).

*Have a great week!*
