    JurieOnGames: @fuzzybinary What's "the water thing in Boston"? This is a viral ad for a catastrophe movie, isn't it.

    JurieOnGames: @qrank Also, I have no idea how I got the Road Soda award. I live in Europe and I turned off my iPhone on the way back from GDC ;)

    JurieOnGames: @qrank How can I have the Bangover award but not Lumbergh or Weekender?

    JurieOnGames: @SnappyTouch Did you look at Vivo Barefoot? I've got two pairs, they're nice.

    JurieOnGames: @kentquirk I agree (about the engrossing bit :) ). Harder to execute too.

    JurieOnGames: @codemonkey_uk Other people just stay in the pub all night :)

    JurieOnGames: .@ivanassen "Post-pub game" is something Brits like to play after coming back from the pub. I.e. drunk, with mates.

    JurieOnGames: @Harvey1966 I just think you a bit like Frank Miller :)

     

  • 04:39:32 pm on April 30, 2010 |

    JurieOnGames: Just discussed mental images of comic book creator Frank Miller. I always have to think of @harvey1966. Except for the nose.

    JurieOnGames: Facebook games, mobile games, Wii games, "post-pub" games, MMOs, Dwarf Fortress: the social context constrains the design.

     

  • 04:35:15 pm on April 30, 2010 |

    JurieOnGames: That is probably incredibly obvious to designers from other spheres (hi @amyhoy), but it's often taken for granted in games.

     

  • 04:34:44 pm on April 30, 2010 |

    JurieOnGames: A key element of game design is what I call "social context": when, how and why do people play your game?

     

  • 04:33:57 pm on April 30, 2010 |

    JurieOnGames: Fascinating discussion with @greenfaery about social games. She should blog about this :D

     

  • 01:57:08 pm on April 30, 2010 |

    JurieOnGames: Great advice on how to deal with stupid people: http://bit.ly/bjSXVq Not easy to execute properly, but then few things are. Via, um, forgot.

    JurieOnGames: .@DirkSonguer People are still talking about that? Intelligent fridges are SO out. The new cliche is the intelligent toilet.

    JurieOnGames: RT @farbood: Some people like to tweet a hyper-link to their new blog post. Steve Jobs puts a fuckin 2-inch box on the Apple homepage li ...

    JurieOnGames: .@Michael_French I think @gamesbrief's point was the '10' in the user name - GDC uses official_gdc, without a limiting number.

     

  • 04:03:00 pm on April 29, 2010 |

    JurieOnGames: Why say phone number when you can say MSISDN?
