Pink Gorilla Is On Facebook Now
Yes, that's right. After avoiding the march of technology and progress for as long as we could, Pink Gorilla has finally been dragged kicking and screaming into the modern era.
Our crack team of technologists spent the last few weeks divining the secrets of that mystical series of high speed tubes that make up the internets in an effort to come up with a way of better connecting with you, our best friends. After much deliberation, we decided that Facebook would be the way to go (narrowly beating out creating a Geocities homepage).
We will be frequently updating our new Facebook page with info on promotions, events, sales, cool new items, and anything else we can think of (yes, there will still be many gratuitous and unneccessary Shaq-Fu references). Be sure to follow us to find out all sorts of cool new PG stuff! (Yes, we will still update this website too, just not as often.)
(For those of you who were following the Pink Gorilla Games FB group, that page will no longer be updated. That group no longer has any Admins and due to a weird quirk in how Facebook groups run, it is impossible to update that page anymore. But the Pink Gorilla Arcade group is still up and running, be sure to check them out for any updates with the PG arcade!)

Pink Gorilla would like to thank all those who came out and had a goodtime competing in the tournament or even just watching the festivities.
After almost a staggering 7 hours, the tourney came to a close and the winner walked off with $14 in cash, a Pinky G plushie, a PG poster and a $25 Pink Gorilla Gift Certificate as well as knowing that all the practice had paid off. Hit the jump for a recap with pics and video from the event!

Frobot at PG UD Wrap Up!
Pink Gorilla was proud to host an exclusive demo event to celebrate the upcoming release of Frobot, a top-down perspective puzzle shooter that is set to release on PC, Mac, and WiiWare later this year by local game company Fugazo.
The event featured WiiWare demo kiosks with multiplayer battles and single player demos throughout the day. With two 40’’ TV’s running the WiiWare version of Frobot and up to 4 players on each system for multiplayer mayhem, the store was hopping with gamers trying out the game. With practice rounds before each prize round, players got a feel for the game and even got tips from Fugazo CEO Andrew Lum about how to use each weapon.
There was lots of swag given out including super cool Pinky G plushies, a Pink Gorilla poster or even a rad Frobot t-shirt! The Frobot dev team was on hand and got lots of feedback on the game and was all too happy to show off their latest build of the game.

Too Much Good Stuff: A Shameless Promotional Pictorial
Usually when something new and exciting comes in to one of our stores, we'll put up a little blurb about it up in that update box near the top of the page. But lately, we've been getting so many good trades in that we couldn't possibly list all of them in that woefully small box.
So instead, we took a few pictures of some of the neat new stuff we've gotten in. Hit the jump for some tasty eye candy (and try not to make too much fun of us for our substandard photography skills, camerawork is hard!).
