I absolutely loved seeing the High Score totes at various Games Week and SXSW events over the past 2 weeks. Very happy with how these turned out.
Heading to Sydney for #sxsw! I recently worked out that a tote is way better than a bag at security, and the one I got at #highscore is about the coolest I’ve seen. It’s was such a great event too!! Thanks @amymcnickle.bsky.social

Games week is (terrifyingly) almost upon us. Here is where I’ll be throughout the week.
Please come and say Hi, as I’d love to catch up, but I seldom manage to reply to messages. I have red dots on all my apps, that it’s just part of my phone now, so I’m looking forward to seeing you all in person!

I’ve always said that the AGDAs judging system that @classicceri.bsky.social developed was one of the most robust and fair systems currently in use, and now you can read all about how it actually worked! 👀
With the IGFs over & the BAFTAs around the corner, I’ve decided it was time to put together a little something I’ve wanted to do for a while now.
A breakdown of how the AGDAs judging systems were designed during my time as the AGDAs Director.

Hey, artists, in case you were wondering if your work matters: I'm a scientist working on climate change and biodiversity, and I would not be who I am today without The Lorax, The Secret of NIMH, Watership Down, The Last Unicorn, and The X-Files. I know I'm not alone. Thank you for all you do.
