talking

I’m going to be talking at the Gamehorizon Conference in June, in the illustrious company of some gaming folk of rather more importance than myself. Having not been to Gamehorizon before (this is the first year), but having been bought lunch by its organisers, I can testify that they’re almost impossible to actually see, such is their enthusiasm for their work. Carri and Nina have pulled together a great programme, with no need to add any kind of ‘for a first year’ caveat. I guess I’m a little concerned about my contribution, which is to the ‘media’ strand on the second day. As this is an industry-facing conference, I’m almost doubly paranoid about getting involved in another polarised group psychotherapy session where everyone moans about how *badly* games are treated by the mainstream media etc.. repeat to fade… My position possibly isn’t quite as pro-games industry apologist as is traditional for discussions such as this. I don’t know who else is going to be in the this strand yet, but it would be great for us to be able to make some actually progressive steps towards new strategies for engaging with the broader media. Just a *little* nuance would be lovely.Anyway - see you there?
