There were six games on display, all from Scandinavian creators. There was free beer. And there were a few talks, of vastly differing depth and entertainment value. The setup was nice though: the games&#8217; creators talked about each others work. The only problem was that many weren&#8217;t very articulate, and shied away from actually criticizing games. Some, though, like the guys from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.dpadstudio.com\/\">D-Pad Studio<\/a>, really took the time to analyze a game on different levels. Others, like Cactus, seemed more interested in drinking beer. However, Cactus&#8217;s game <a href=\"http:\/\/www.rockpapershotgun.com\/2010\/02\/09\/igf-factor-2010-tuning\/\">Tuning<\/a> was my favorite of the bunch, for its sheer mind-fuck awesomeness.<\/p>\n<p>Apart from this, I&#8217;ve continued work on <a href=\"http:\/\/layar.com\/\">Layar<\/a>, had another round of mentoring chats with my students and made some more preparations for <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thishappened.org\/utrecht\/6\">This happened \u2013 Utrecht #6<\/a>. We opened registration for the latter on monday, by the way, and were fully booked in 58 seconds (and had <a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/kaeru\/statuses\/12875664641\">some server wonkiness<\/a> in the process).
