Talk of the town

Posted by mark On August - 26 - 2009

Hello you. Continuing on from the positive vibes of last week, we’re now getting some big sites commenting about us and Kahoots. If you gaze to your left, after you finish reading this otherwise you won’t have a clue why you are doing it, you will find a few new links in the “Things said about us” section. Games review stalwarts such as Pocket Gamer, Kotaku and Eurogamer have features on Kahoots and PSP minis in which we feature heavily (or exclusively).

You can go and look now, I’m done with you, here.

Cologne Day 3 – Pork, Press, Passes and Planes

Posted by mark On August - 22 - 2009

So, the final day and the final countdown to my 9.30 minis press conference, After a late session of tweaking and listening to Everton turn over Sigma Olomouc, my pre- press conference agenda was a quick shower, final bit of packing, maybe grab a quick bit of brekkie, then head to the show with ease. Well, that was the plan…Everything went well until the final bit of packing, then panic, no show pass. Read the rest of this entry »

Cologne Day 2 – Is this place twinned with Neasden?

Cologne Day 1 – Bitte Warten, Bitter Water

Posted by mark On August - 19 - 2009

First day has certainly been an interesting one. My media training stood me in good stead for the interviews and grillings from the mixed collection of press types. Obviously the announcement of the PSP minis has gained us some interest, and the question “So where are you guys based?” is now “So you guys are in Camden, yeah?”, so our place in the games food chain has just moved up slightly.

’scuse me love? This train go, to Koelnmesse?

Posted by mark On August - 18 - 2009

I can’t do the umlaut, otherwise it’d be AUTHENITIC! Anyway, been in Cologne for a good chunk of the day now, although my mind is still busy with the trauma of trying to buy train tickets with something larger than a €10 note, trams are worse, but let’s not start on that.

A hint of Cologne

Posted by mark On August - 14 - 2009

We are in a fortunate position to be able to have a presence at the Gamescom convention in Cologne in the coming week. We’re going to be promoting Kahoots while we are out there, so we decided this week to have a few additions to the family to take on a European tour. Read the rest of this entry »

Spare some change???

Posted by mark On August - 5 - 2009

No, I’m not on the blag for cash, just a quick note to all that the promised switch from the general insolence and quirkiness of Blogger to the warmer climes is still on the cards. I’d like to migrate all the stuff here onto the new site if I can, so we can effectively abandon this place like we’ve done a runner after not paying the rent, or something.
