And there it is, and that’s what’ll happen and when. We can’t bloomin’ wait. We’ve also made a nice Google calendar programme here. Take note!

On Sunday afternoon somebody bought two tickets for Playful ‘09. They were the last two tickets. Well done that man. Achievement Un-flipping-locked!
So we’re all set for the big day on Friday. The newspaper is nearly ready to go to print, the stickers are on the way, Rex has his Over-head Projector to draw on…all that’s [...]

For the past umpteen months we’ve had a slot in the programme reserved for Media Molecule – one of our favourite companies in the games industry. Their game ‘Little Big Planet’ came out the week of last year’s Playful, and since then we’ve watched them build and build on the most love-able game-world around.
The [...]

It’s boggling my mind…it really is. The brilliance of the stuff that this year’s line-up have been making just boggles my mind. Closing the day will be a talk from designer/artists/maker Chris O’Shea. As well as writing Pixelsumo and co-creating This Happened (a conference/event shindig we just wish we could get tickets for everytime a [...]

We’ve been fit to bursting with this little secret since early last week…but were sworn to silence until this morning, Thursday 22nd October 2009 year of our lordly conference.
We’re proud to add two new faces to this year’s line-up – Alfie Dennen and Paula Le Dieu. Their project Bus Tops has just been chosen [...]

Thanks to everyone who has e-mailed us about volunteering to help at Playful ‘09. We’ll be getting back to everyone by, we hope, tomorrow at the latest. We’ve got a list of fine folks, and we’ll be putting their names into a giant hypothetical hat over a cup of builder’s in our warm office, and [...]

This morning we’re tipping our hats in the direction of VW’s The Fun Theory project. If it’s not already obvious, we like things…normal boring things like making tea or walking through a door…we like it when these things become fun. Become something you can PLAY or play WITH. So a Monday morning hats off for [...]

It’s getting pretty darn close now. So close that we’re getting down to all the little details…(see our last post regarding graphing the amount of tea needed). It’s these little details that make the day happen the way it’s supposed to happen. I mean, setting up a projector and making sure all the speakers are [...]

We’ve got a bit of a thing for graphs. Nothing weird…we don’t think. Anyhow, we’re chuffed to the rafters to have graphic designer and graph wrangler Nicholas ‘Feltron‘ Felton flying in from NYC to join us at Playful ‘09.
Today we started graphing things to do with Playful ‘09 using Nicholas’ site Daytum. In the [...]

Hey!
At the end of last week we had a competition – first to guess who the smiling bearded lower-half of a face in the Eat Your Games logo belonged to would win one of the ever-dwindling supply of tickets to Playful ‘09. Well, we can now announce that the face belongs to Simon Oliver, from [...]
