Ever wondered what it takes to make video games for a living? Don't
just game for fun - game for funds! Hear from top execs at local
studios like Epic Games, Themis Group, and more at this 'breaking into
the industry' event co-hosted by the International Game Developers
Association (IGDA), www.igda.org. Appetizers will be provided for
this portion, which runs from 7:00 p.m. - 10:00 p.m.
After mixing and mingling with the creative minds behind the games,
celebrate the countdown to the Gears of War 2 worldwide release from
10:00 p.m. - 12:00 a.m. on the patio, in the bar or on the dance floor.

When the clock strikes midnight, you'll have the chance to be one of
the first to play the game and even participate in the Triangle's
