Announcing #BGGD31 on 8 June in Antwerp: Gaming tournament and a bbq
The world of games is still considered as a man’s bastion by some.
However: the past few years lots of women started gaming.
This is why on Tuesday the 8th of June, PR’ins and Brussels Girl Geek Dinner organize an heroic ‘battle of the sexes‘ in the heart of Antwerp. 25 Girl Geeks will challenge the attendant men to a gaming tournament, organized by Rock Star Games. They will take a stand against each other playing Red Dead Redemption, the long expected successor of the Grand Theft Auto games.
During the battle, there will be a delicious Western style BBQ at the inner court of the PR’ins showroom.

Red Dead Redemption is a sandbox-style action-adventure western video game with role-playing elements developed by Rockstar and released on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 in May 2010.
The game takes place in the year 1911 in the American Old West territory and follows John Marston, a former outlaw, while he tries to save his wife and son, taken by government agents, by capturing and killing his former gang members.

[...] Dinsdag heb ik een Brussels Girl Geek Dinner (voor een eerste maal) bijgewoond. Het concept van de avond was een game tournament, battle of the sexes. Spel van de avond: Red Dead Redemption. De nieuwe telg van Rockstar Games, in navolging van hun Grand Theft Auto reeks. De reeks die tot nu toe de beste ooit is voor mij. De slag om de titel zag er hard uit en klonk ook luid. Veel animo, veel plezier. Gezien je als boy geek niet zomaar naar dit event mag, bedank ik @rrradiogirrrl om mij voor de avond aan te duiden als haar sjakosj, @Gudrun voor de babbel en het vervoer en @bnox voor het realiseren van deze fijne avond.
