It’s funny because that game was probably the most unknown game we made amoung even our own fans. But it’s probably the one in the end that I’m most proud of, and you don’t really get it until you watch a whole room full of people playing that game. You see your grandma playing with a two year old and a dog and everybody’s laughing and jumping around, and using their imagination. I’ve never seen anyone enjoy anything I’ve made to that extend as those two games.

Our friends at Wild Rumpus- resident London indie bacchanalians, held their latest videogame showcase merrymaking maritime; with their party on a fucking boat. Aboard the MS Stubnitz, partygoers were treated Johann Sebastian Joust, Nidhogg, Tenya Wanya Teens, Samurai Gunn, Starwhal, and more, with music from Super Hexagon’s Chipzel.

Be sure to follow Wild Rumpus should they come ashore near you.

post-nerdism: thessalian: gamersagainstbigotry: This week GAB are looking at the benefits of gaming. We’ve almost drowned ourselves in discussing race and geek girls - and it’s high time we had a nice break to feel warm and fuzzy. Lets remind ourselves of not only why we love gaming, but why it can be good for us. We’ll be posting and linking things like the one above (source: http://visual.ly/gaming-good-you) here, and on our Twitter, Facebook & Website.And you can share your questions and stories with us by dropping us an Ask. Merry Gaming :) Actually, this explains a lot, particularly the bit about how some games can help fix lazy eye. I’ve been wearing at least reading glasses since I was twelve because of a ‘focus disorder’, which is basically both eyes being lazy. The exercises that they might have prescribed to help correct the problems gave me headaches, so I stuck with glasses, switching to bifocals and then varifocals as my distance vision deteriorated. I started playing video games to any great degree relatively recently, and in my last couple of eye exams, I’ve been told that my close vision has actually improved. I’ll still probably always need the varifocals, but given that the improvement in my vision came pretty close on the heels of my starting to play video games in any meaningful amount… Well. *g* I’m missing some nuances here and there and the term ‘educational games’ is not always used correctly, but the idea is sound and true: gaming can be utilized for our physical and mental well being and for the good of our society.
