    I'm looking to interview folks who are doing really bleeding-edge things in gaming + esports, whether they're provocative ideas/researchers, designers, entrepreneurs, streamers... what's the most mind-blowing thing you've seen lately? AR, VR, esports, PC gaming preferred

        You should definitely talk to @alexpfeiffer who is working on blockchain, esports, gamification and nudging in relation to #GameStudies. Also both of us are huge fans 😉.

        the most mind blowing things about collegiate esports is that student leaders of gaming clubs are creating events with over 2000 attendees while the schools struggle to put on events with 200. they're learning by doing :)

        Hello Ms. McG, I’m working with a friend on a VR puzzle/ dream-scape where the player assembles an orchestra, bringing each instrument to the concert hall (and that’s when it really gets weird). Try making music when you don’t control what the listener hears. Fun challenge!

        Not sure if qualified as bleeding edge, but I'm looking to transform tabletop / role playing with the storytelling capabilities of VR. Prototyped this recently with my Vive:https://youtu.be/HZ9iirA-RZY
