Went to Manchester University and presented at the Play Things post grad conference.
Graeme Kirkpatrick keynoted and touched on many of the same things I did. Sort of felt like he had stolen my thunder, but I had some good feedback on my talk. He’s also thinking about the aesthetics of games and gameplay and pointing out that the physicality of gaming is not considered seriously enough. I think that my application of the Dionysian principle provides some theoretical background to his discussion.
