He moved to San Francisco in early 2000 with the desire to continue performing and doing what he loved -- making people move. Ben Seagren's distinctive skills launched from a vast fusion of New York influenced hard/progressive/tribal house, breaks and drum-n-bass. While frequenting the New York City underground scene years past, he became enraptured with the essence of progressive house music and his style has resided there since. Originally from Toulouse, in the south of France, Will a.k.a Frenchy le Freak had been spinning for 11 years in France before bringing his pumping European style of funky house to the US.

A casual get together to talk about game ideas and general game play theory. Open to anyone who wants to talk about (and sometimes play) games. We talk about everything, from social gaming, iPhone apps, card games, abstract, whatever. If it's even remotely interesting, we'd love to talk about it. What kind of people go to Game Theory? Anyone is welcome. Some of us have done video game design, or are into coding, but most of us just like to over think fun things.
