We Crash Kotaku's Shindig!
Fruit Brute, his de-lovely boyfriend (the other Mr. Brute), and Mikey descended upon New York City this weekend, crashing at Rancho Tiny to rustle up some gaming, sass, and as many free drinks as we could muster. Which as it turns out is... plenty. Our peerless leader, also the weekend editor over at Kotaku, was summoned to Gotham for a secret meeting of the Kotaku elders, not to mention the fantastic Kotaku reader party and its fantastic open bar.
Open bar. Two little words...that mean so much.
If I remember correctly, which is at least theoretically possible, a wonderful time was had by all. And we met more than a few gay gamers, to boot! The might of the hidden gay gaming mafia has begun to rear its serpentine, charmingly vain head...prepare yourselves, most cherished readers. Prepare for the revolution.
Make the jump to see a series of slightly humiliating photos.

I totally should of gone, but there was no way I was going to leave the safety of my Crown Heights apartment where Jesus Camp and Annie Hall awaited my viewing...
It was too damn cold.
But I was only a bus ride away!

Hawt! This is like the first time I've ever wished I lived back on the east coast! And just let me be the first to comment on Mr. Crecente's shirt. FANCY! ^_^
Nice pics. Looks like it was a good time.
Thank you, tiny dancer! I haven't had a dorkfest weekend like that in a long time, if ever.
May I just say that, Mikey, you look totally adorable in those pictures ^_^!!
never saw a picture where mikey didn't look adorable... the sexiest überdork alive!
I was delighted to be in the middle of a Fruit Brute and tiny dancer sandwich. You guys are awesome.
I read all about the Kotaku meet-up, but since I'm not nearly as into that site, I didn't really consider going. Had I known you guys were going to crash, I would have been there with bells on!
I bet there was a whole thread about it somewhere in the forums that I totally missed, wasn't there? My own fault, then...
Crecente totally looks like "The Jesus" from the Big Lebowski. Especially in that shirt, purple though it's not.
Thanks so much for posting this. Great pics, great story.
Looks like fun, but what's on Fruit Brute's fingers? Looks like he was playing until his fingers bled.
That's the Sacred Mark of the Free Drink Stamp & Ink Pad Holder.
Wish I could´ve been there, celebrating the gay power in gaming.
Oh, and Tiny Dancer - are you single?
You´re freaking hot!
Man that looked like a hella fun time! Looking at the photos here and over at Kotaku's flickr account, I don't see one single frown from anyone.
Too bad NYC's a two day drive. :(
With all due respect for my fellow gay gamers... Tiny is the hottest person in any of those photos. Call me. *wink*
Wow. looks like Kotaku throws a great shindig.
but that tinydancer... hmmm..
is he single? HOLLA AT Yo' BOYEE!
+1 for the Wolverine-styled sideburns, FB!
And MikeTV, Tiny's mine bitch! *takes off shoe, prepares to swing Dead Rising Style* call ME!
Could a very single tiny be blushing any harder? Not without some kind of arterial rupture...
Very single? Giggety giggety...
I bet you're cute when you blush=)
I'm sure you get showered with your fair share of hotel-room keys and panties just thrown at you at parties like that.
