According to a Facebook Event, and also an affiliated Facebook group, tomorrow is International Hug A Gamer Day. November 29th marks the anniversary of the release of Pong. The event already has over 1,500 confirmed guests. The group has over 600 members.
The official description of the event from the Facebook group is as follows:
“We’ve got days to wear towels, days to talk like pirates, but (according to a web search) this is the first planned Hug A Gamer day. So give your nearest geek a cuddle! They probably need it after all those pixels, but watch out for the CounterStrike reflexes.
The date of November 29th is the day upon which Pong was first released in 1972. Let us celebrate. Join in the hugs.”
Of course, depending on your Facebook language settings, every day may be a day to talk like a pirate. “English (Pirate)” is 17th from the bottom in the dropdown menu, but that’s beside the point. Most gamers should be nice and fluffy right now, thanks to the abundance of delicious Thanksgiving leftovers, so get out and hug some gamers tomorrow!
