Time to celebrate Pixels to Pop Culture at The Game Awards | The DeanBeat

venturebeat.com:

We’re in that final push of the year. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III is launching today as a coda to an incredible year in games. We want to celebrate it with you and we can’t think of a better time to do our next GamesBeat event under the theme Pixels to Pop Culture than December 7, the day of The Game Awards. Or, as many people believe, the day that we’re going to see the first trailer for Grand Theft Auto VI.

We’ve seen our share of tough news this year with raging wars and mean geopolitics. We have seen our community harmed by layoffs in the game industry, and related troubles with the long actors strike and writers strike that are finally coming to a close. We’re not out of the woods yet by any means. But before the year is over, I think we should recognize what a phenomenal year we’ve had.

We’re a small independent media company that has its own struggles. We’re grateful our community rallied behind us, with 555 showing up at GamesBeat Next in October. And now we hope we can keep that momentum going with our next event, GamesBeat at The Game Awards. You can sign up here and use this code for $100 off the ticket price.

First, I have to point out we’re not affiliated with The Game Awards. Geoff Keighley’s thing will likely draw more than 100 million viewers to a total celebration of gaming. We’ll be happy if we can get 250 people to fill the lovely Clive Davis Theater at The Grammy Museum at LA Live. You can think of us as the unofficial preshow for the official preshow. We’ll have a fine party the night before on December 6 and an intimate event from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. or so on December 7. It’s going to be a small group.
