Hometown Throwdown featuring EyeQ, June 23rd!
We are back at Kick Butt Coffee & Booze for our next Hometown Throwdown, on June 23rd at 8pm! No tournament this time, but we have a spectacular music lineup, including a visit from EyeQ all the way in from Orlando. And of course, there will be games all night – including The Multibowl, which I remind you is a game that you cannot play at home!
We’re at PAX South this weekend!
Attention Pixels fans – PAX South is this weekend, and we will be there!
We’re set up in the MAGFest Jam Space. All your favorite games will be there (as well as some brand new hard-to-find stuff – stay tuned for more about that tomorrow!), and of course we’re sharing a space with some of the hottest musical acts at the show, including Pixels regulars DJ R.O.C.K.M.A.N., Star Fighter Dreams, The ChocoBros, and Gimmick!
Come check in at the Jam Space and see what we’ve got going on!
Pixels Will Be At Classic Game Fest!

Thanks to everyone who came out, and keep your eyes on this space. You can also follow us on Facebook and Twitter for updates on our next event!
Hometown Throwdown is back! Lethal League Tournament, Sat. October 17th at 8pm in Austin!
Come and join us at Kick Butt Coffee & Booze in Austin tomorrow night! It’ll be a Lethal League throwdown (and if you’ve never played it, you owe it to yourself to give it a try), as well as a performance from Muchos Backflips!
Plus, the first 10 people to take home a Pixels t-shirt will get a free Steam Key for their own copy of Lethal League, generously provided by our friends at Team Reptile.
See you there!

Huge thanks also to The Returners, for a spectacular performance (including the live debut of their new version of the Dire Dire Docks theme from Mario 64).
Thanks also to everyone who only came so they could try out Mario Kart without having to buy a Wii U. We know you’re out there. We understand.
And of course, thank you to Kick Butt Coffee, Music & Booze, our gracious hosts, for giving us all a place to drink and a place to play.

Bring your arcade stick, your liver, and your game face. We’ll see you there!
Brief Hiatus!
