Calling #Hanabi players in Melbourne! One of our graduate researchers is doing a SUPER COOL study where you get to play Hanabi with a robot 🤖. You don’t need to be a champion, just be familiar with the rules (and aged 18+). The study has university human ethics research approval.

I’m so proud of my 88-year-old mother, who has just sent me this perfectly grammatical and understandable text.

The #DiGRAAustralia2025 National Conference kicks off with a fantastic paper from Premeet Sidhu, Jen Scott Curwood & Marcus Carter on a year 7 unit studying a videogame (Night in the Woods) as a class text. Really interesting work and an excellent presentation (as always from this team).

Played #ForestShuffle on 2025-01-29 with 2 players, winning score: 229 #bgstats
I am unsure whether I am rubbish at this, the Bigster is fantastic, or (most likely) some combo of both. Here’s my pretty forest, anyway. I couldn’t draw a right handed bat, and finished with a playable lynx in hand.

Hello to my dark meme friends!
Yesterday, a 120 year old game (bought on eBay) arrived at my door; today, a box of old gaming magazines that a gaming friend in the US was clearing out has arrived. The life of a games researcher is a wonderful thing, and it is now extremely hard to focus on writing this grant application!

Every time we play this, we gloat about how much we adore these little elastic game bands from Amigo Spiele. I think we bought like 60 of them? (They come in packs of 10). So very good.
