  • If anyone's interested. We, Nyamakop (@Bensonance and I) could give a recap of what we got up to during our month long trip in the US. Train Jam > GDC > PAX East. From a business and marketing angle.

  • I'm not as far as I wanted to be yet, because life, and politics, and and and... But I can show off my Daydream VR spaceship thing with a Chromecast, that'd be pretty fun for a bit :)

  • Is it possible for anyone to record the talks and make them available for those who miss the meet-ups? This weeks talks look very interesting & much to my disdain I will not be able to attend this week
