[ML-General] [General] Retro Gaming and Computing Night '16 on Sat, Nov 12!

[Joshua Pritt]

I wonder if there's a way to have some sort of simultaneous game night
between ML256 and Melbourne Makerspace?  Some sort of DOOM, Quake, or
Unreal tournament over the interwebs?
We could set up two live stream cameras on a big screen showing the other
space's event or even be able to walk up to the camera and say hey to
everyone from time to time?
