The Global Game Jam is this weekend (Friday January 27th through Sunday 
January 29th). The DC chapter of the International Game Developers 
Association (IGDA) has teamed up with folks from GMU's BFA and ACS Game 
Design programs to host a branch of the jam. Join fellow GMU students, 
as well as area hobbyists and professionals and spend 48 hours designing 
and developing video games. There are 243 Global Game Jam sites in 46 
nations and the GMU site already has more than 50 registered jammers.
