In NYC tonight and crazy about *Hokra*, the ultra-fun back-to-basics 2-on-2 competitive sports game? [NYU’s Game Center is hosting a talk with its creator Ramiro Corbetta](http://gamecenter.nyu.edu/2013/09/indie-tech-talk-12-making-hokra?ref=killscreen.com).

> “Oh, fucking do it!” he said. And then he just walked back out of the room.

–[the way decisions are made at *Saints Row* HQ](http://www.gamasutra.com/view/news/199853/The%5Fridiculous%5Fopenworld%5Fhumor%5Fof%5FSaints%5FRow%5F4.php?ref=killscreen.com).

[Activision will fight The Violent Content Research Act of 2013](http://www.nbcnews.com/technology/call-duty-maker-gears-against-violent-video-games-bill-8C11124802?ref=killscreen.com) by hiring a lobbying group. They certainly have plenty of money to smother the bill with.

[IndieCade, the Sundance of indie games](http://www.indiecade.com/2013/games%5Fpreview/?ref=killscreen.com), (or is that IGF?) has released a list of this year’s finalists. The nominees look great!

When we were a kid, [controlled substances were required to do this](http://www.triangulationblog.com/2013/08/pablo-valbuena.html?utm%5Fsource=feedburner&utm%5Fmedium=feed&utm%5Fcampaign=Feed%3A+triangulationfeeds+%28TRIANGULATION+BLOG%29):

[Wired](http://www.wired.com/design/2013/09/dreamy-video-game-gifs-transport-you-to-another-world/?ref=killscreen.com#slideid-213641) looks at the pixelated GIF of Noirlac, who’s posted to [his tumblr](http://noirlac.tumblr.com/?ref=killscreen.com) thousands of flickering cityscapes, pulsating skulls, and scenic vistas—all ripped from classic games. We’ve been following him for a year, and totally recommend it.

> Yeah, [we’re into the idea of virtual theater, of a virtual actor](http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2013/09/04/level-with-me/?ref=killscreen.com). Like the girl in white in *The Path* was from a project called 8, and now we’re going to put her back in 8 again. To us, it’s the same exact girl. The same personality. She’s an actress, she can be in any story.

The *League of Legends* World Championship is upon us. P[olygon has this handy-dandy guide](http://www.polygon.com/2013/9/11/4710948/a-viewers-guide-to-the-league-of-legends-world-championship?ref=killscreen.com) to help newcomers makes sense of this ungodly deep game. The glossary is essential:

> **Duelist**: A champion who excels at 1-on-1 combat rather than group fights.  
> **Exhaust**: A Summoner Spell that slows an enemy’s movement and attack speed as well as reducing the damage they deal. Most commonly seen on Supports.  
> **Facecheck**: To blindly enter the brush without checking it first in some way. This is very dangerous and can be a deadly mistake, as enemies may be lying in wait.

*A fond adieu!*
