  1. #hivemind challenge done! Thanks to everyone who played. See you next time!
  2. @tobybarnes Have I missed you? You're not at the Coach & Horses in Soho are you?
  3. @lateral Actually you're in second place . . . #hivemind
  4. People seem to be enjoying themselves . . . despite catastrophic WiFi FAIL at the Coach & Horses . . .
  5. Time for some #hivemind challenge action! Bring it!
  6. @si_lumb I disagree. Multiplayer FPS games have a role-playing element too. You take on a fame name, and pwn n00bs on teh servers.
  7. @jemimah_knight Atlas? Nope, haven't seen it. What is it?
  8. @jemimah_knight It's not exactly gripping stuff, but I'm impressed the SDK is so drag-and-drop . . .
  9. RT @jemalexander: Why is it so much more socially acceptable to put many hours into (eg) MW2 MP than an MMO? Are they really so different?
  10. I must be getting old. I've started "waking up early" to "get a head start on the day".
  11. @rachelclarke Thanks! Got Geared. Win.
  12. Oh, and GeoDefence Swarm. Finished that one too.
  13. Anyone recommend a good iPhone game? I've exhausted the possibilities of Peggle, Doodlejump, and Galcon.
  14. @tom_watson @si_lumb Re: games and war: "Tell me, and I'll forget. Show me, and I might remember. Involve me, and I'll understand."
  15. @countersquare @si_lumb Indeed there is. But what?
  16. @si_lumb Movies and TV grew up when there were still things you *didn't* show, so we got used to graphic content gradually. Not so games.
  17. @si_lumb That's only because games are the first medium to become popular after the total evaporation of Victorian mores.
  18. @si_lumb Book, movie or game: all can be powerful, all can be valuable, all can be crass and tastleless. It's just another meme vector.
  19. @si_lumb No. Reading on D-day isn't same as watching Saving Private Ryan, not same as playing a game. But all 3 should get the same respect!
  20. Due to demand, BeeBCamp London has moved venues! We'll be in the White City conference centre, W12.
