Arcade Paradise Launch Party

To coincide with the release of Arcade Paradise, Wired Productions hosted a dual press day and evening launch party. I was lucky enough to snag an invite to both! Before I start, I want to quickly mention the venue itself. Both events took place at the historic 26 Leake Street hidden below Waterloo Station. What was once a collection of mere railway arches is now a bustling hub of urban creativity. It even has a dedicated event space for 1200+ attendees. This is where the events took place. A Retro Paradise All that sounds great but finding the actual place I needed to be was a tad difficult. Google Maps only got me so far, directing me to what I think was some kind of event booking office? I did eventually find my way. And what an incredible sight to behold when I arrived. Walking pa...
