It may not have escaped your attention that we in the UK recently had an election for our new government. It was a keenly fought battle from the three main parties, but the only clear winner was BBC’s chief political correspondent Laura Kuenssberg who was managing to appear on 2 TV channels Live from two different locations, and appear on Radios 4 and 5Live and twitter all at the same time. Impressive stuff from the diminutive and unable-to-stand-still-on-camera Scot.

We we’re really excited about the election, voting is generally seen as “a good thing” here at Honeyslug and this all segues nicely into telling you about another vote you can take part in, it’s the C+VG Golden Joystick Awards, and you can help us make the shortlist in a number of categories!

Simply go to http://www.goldenjoystick.com/, and you can vote for us and our games in the following categories:

Downloadable Game of the Year: Kahoots
Online Game of the Year: Poto and Cabenga
Portable Game of the Year: Kahoots
UK Dev of the Year: Honeyslug (yay!)
Ultimate Game of the Year: Both games

Voting on the longlist closes on the 27th May, so if you love our stuff and love us, please give us your support and we may make the shortlist!

So yesterday the three of us took some time out from slogging away at XML to take part in Eurogamers’ Podcast where we talked about many things including trapped pigeons, collective indifference towards Alan Wake, Nat’s expensive Magic: The Gathering habit and indie developer type things.

It’s located here but you can also download it from iTunes should you wish to listen to it on your choice of mp3 player.

Many thanks to Tom’s Bramwell and Champion and the rest of the guys at Eurogamer and GI.biz for an entertaining time and sub-zero drinking environment on Brighton beachfront.
