At the New York Videogame Critics Circle, we feel there’s safety in numbers.

We meet once a month (sometimes more), usually at an appropriately dive-y bar or restaurant, to discuss games, the Circle’s agenda, news, our work, getting more work, jobs and the dysfunctional vagaries of the industry.

We often invite an entertaining guest of note for the second half of the meeting.

Our group includes writers and editors from Time/Techland, G4TV.com, UGO, MTV Multiplayer, New York Daily News, Boys’ Life, Joystiq, Wall Street Journal, EGM, Onion AV Club and others.

We are really dedicated to elevating the level of journalism and discourse in the videogame world as a whole.

If you’d like to become a member and you live in or around New York City, we’d love to hear from you.

Shoot us an email at nyvgcc@journalist.com.

Please include links to three of your best clips.

We’ll get back to you if we like your work.
