The Roundup is a multiplayer focused celebration of some fan favorite games from our history. Come out and celebrate the games, the game makers, and the friends that make our community what it is. On top of that, we'll be adding a twist with live music inspired by the sound and spirit of videogames!

Doors open at 7:00pm, music at 8:30! Held at Kick Butt Coffee (5775 Airport Blvd Suite 725, Austin, TX 78752).
