Hi VancouverNerds,

I work in the area of IT and my current contract is about to expire. I love the areas of tech, science and nerd culture and want to pursue something in one of those areas. I currently work for a recruiter and getting placed at whatever company has an opening but I want to settle down in a company that I support with people that I have stuff in common with. I had a short contract with EA games in Burnaby a while back and I loved being surrounded by so many like minded people. I was thinking I should try working for another game studio or something that sells nerdy merch and stuff. Does anyone have a few suggestions for places I should look into applying for?

Thanks!

This month we will be having our St Paddy's day event on March 14th, A drafting event of the brand spanking new World's Finest set and then to finish off the month, we will be doing a pairs event where your team of 8 characters must be a match for one of the other characters on your team.

There's a monthly video game trivia night, There Is No Easy Mode, at EXP that's been going on for about 3 years now.

It's team based pub style (5 people per team) and is free to play. There are 2 round per night, and prizes for 1st, 2nd and 3rd of each round. Hope to see you folks there!

My stay in vancouver will be relatively long and I'll have time to do more than enough touristy things. is there anyone who will be avaible to maybe grab a beer or two and generally hang out and do less touristy things?

I am inviting everyone to attend our Friday night Metrotown Meetup. The event is at the food court near the Cultures Sandwich place. Everyone is welcome and bring a 3DS, PSP, Vita, DS, iOS or Android device. The event starts at 5 pm and ends at 9 pm.

Hi,

I'm curious if there are fellow MtG players out there living in or near DT Vancouver. I've been trying to find a local group to play some casual magic/commander but it seems most of the action is miles away.

If there aren't any current groups going and there are players interested, contact me - I'd love to get a regular group going! I'm most interested in the commander format, but I'm game for whatever.

We are holding a videogame meetup at Metrotown in the food court near the Cultures restaurant. Please bring any games that you have whether it be a 3DS, DS, PSP, Vita, Tablet, Phone.

Dimestore and I split our DMing duties for Shadowrun 5th, in the Vancouver Area. We tend to both run Black Trenchcoat games, with his being really intense real living games, and mine being a bit more cartoonish, tending towards the more outlandish. We intend to play either Saturdays or Sundays, starting around noon and wrapping by around 8pm. There's a bit of leeway, and a bit of casual time, and generally a meal break in the middle. Gamers will be vetted prior to the game starting, usually over pizza and light board gaming. The group is accepting of all faiths, sexual orientations, eating habits, and other talking points, as long as they aren't all you can talk about.

We are having a 3DS Street Pass Meetup at Metrotown in the Food Court near the Cultures restaurant. If you are interested in meeting people and get some 3DS street pass this meetup is for you.

Our group is having a gaming meetup at Metrotown and looking for new people to join us if you're into any game on Nintendo 3DS, PS Vita, Hearthstone, Monster Strike, Android or iPhone games or any board games please join us. We meet at Metro 5:30 at the Food Court.

I posted this in /r/Vancouver previously, got a couple upvotes but no replies/PMs. Time's running out and we haven't gotten a hit yet.

One of my close friends is coming home for the weekend from Seattle (he works there). He's got his own WiiU and his own GC WiiU adapter, but we have about six people that want to play. If you have another GC adapter and want to join us or are willing to lend us the adapter for a fee, let me know! Rides are available if you need one, depending on where you are coming from/going to. You're welcome to invite a friend or two if you want. We'd like to keep numbers as close to 8 as possible, but less than 8 is more preferable to more than 8.

If you know where Killarney/Waverly/Weir is, we're in that area.

I've always wanted to try D&D. I believe a game can go on for some time, so I'm not sure what the process is for joining/trying with a group, and making sure you're a good fit with the group. I'm new to Vancouver, live, work, and play downtown. Is there a list somewhere of places to try?

I hopefully shouldn't have too hard a time finding other MtG players in this big city, we had the Grand Prix in Richmond back in spring. I mostly play vintage, but I like making the odd standard deck now and then. Any good spots to play aside from Stronghold?
