Leave that ugly orange vest at home and stalk some prey in style during the Big Buck World Championship qualifiers at Game-X. Running through October 13, digital hunters will be able to show off their sharpshooting skills without ever leaving behind the comforts of air conditioning and a stocked bar. Sip on The Outdoorsman, a bourbon cocktail from the trophy beverage menu, to steady your nerves while you plan the perfect shot. And just try finding entrées ($9-$11) like the BBQ bacon stack, double stack, Buffalo wrap or Cuban out in the wilderness. The deer may be virtual, but with an invite to November's worldwide finals in Chicago on the line, the competition is sure to get very real.
Video games have been around for decades, but that doesn't mean they aren't changing. Running through September 2 at Museum of Design Atlanta (MODA), "XYZ: Alternative Voices in Game Design" explores some of the most innovative alternative voices helping to shape and transform the medium in exciting new directions. The interactive exhibit, co-presented by MODA and Georgia Tech's Digital Media Program, teaches patrons about the groundbreaking work of women as game designers and artists. Once you're done touring the hands-on exhibit, bring your receipt or MODA sticker over to Game-X and get your hands on a "10 for 10" special. With the purchase of $10 or more worth of game play, you'll receive an additional $10 free. Game on!
