PixelPop Festival is a Saint Louis based games festival that celebrates a wide range of games and interactive experiences. Their mission is to encourage and empower attendees from all backgrounds and experience levels to develop new skills, explore different methods, and cultivate relationships with other creators and players. In September 2015 PixelPop held their second festival on the campus of Webster University and put a large emphasis on game education. Laclede’s LAN was fortunate enough to be able to participate in the festival.
As our submission for the event, our staff member Tony (Loddy) offered a quick primer on some of the competitive games we feature at Laclede’s LAN, and advice on getting the most out of competitive games. He went over some advice for those who might be apprehensive at trying a more competitive experience, and a few tips on how to improve and learn much more quickly. Daza Voice was cool enough to provide his own section of the talk, giving a presentation on the history of Counter-Strike and a few tips for complete beginners.
We were very grateful to be able to hang out at this event! Thanks to the PixelPop staff for having us!
