Those of you in New York may want to go out tonight to see Cactus, Messhof and Auntie Pixelante (aka Anna Anthropy) on a panel at NYU. 6PM, 721 Broadway near 8th Street; more here.

Take an Elite-style game like Flatspace II. Set it in a cartoony universe where Zombies and Ninjas are waging an interstellar war. Tool around in a "starship" that's more like a Buick with a stardrive and lasers.

All to a loud, frenetic neopunk score--that's Ninjastarmageddon!.
