While in the UK last week the most talked about courses on game design were in Abertay, Liverpool John Moores and Teeside. Anyone know anything about the latter two?
Also I see in Edge that Northumbria University has just launched an MA in Computer Game Studies – a more critical and theoretical course akin to film studies.
Now all I have to do is find a map and locate all these places…

Hi all,
well I hope you all found Toners in the end ….sorry I couldn’t be there…other work to do in the UK..
let me know how things went…
aphra.
Sorry people, won’t be back from London for our shindig so you’ll have to introduce yourselves.
Jab from DigiCC has kindly offered to be there around 7pm, make sure we have tables and see if you have any feedback to send back to the site or feedback after the Stolar workshop.
Jab is rather distinctive looking..he’ll be the guy with the long blonde hair and shaved sides..all in black….strange looking eyes sometimes…
go up and introduce yourself…
I look forward to hearing the stories!

ok everyone…we are next meeting on the 27th of June downstairs in Toners pub on Baggot Street…
I am in London that day but will try and get a flight back that evening…
regardless there will be two tables reserved so make your way to them and colonise them..
hope to make it too
Aphra.
you know if a lot of people are attending the Bernie Stolar thing we could shift the next meeting to the 27th..although I’ll be in the UK…anyway let me know….
Aphra.
I’ve just called the manager of Toners, on Baggott Street Lwr. and they will reserve two tables downstairs for us from 7pm on Friday the 20th. June. They will probably put signs on the table.
So how about that?
Toners is just after Black Tie as you walk from Stephen’s Green down Baggott Street – on the right..
It is a fairly smallish pub that serves good Guinness and gets packed but is not trendy so never really jammed..

There are a rash of end of year shows on at the moment which people might like to view.
1. Virtual Reality MA from NCAD end of year show is taking place in the Digital Hub project office from the 13th – 21st of June.
2. National Diploma in communications (Creative Multimedia) and the BSC in Commercial Computing end of year show in the Multipurpose Centre of the Dundalk Institute of Technology – launch 11th of June and open on the 12th all day.
3. DLIATD is having its IADT exhibition, launch is on the 5th of June (invitation only) and I believe it is open for at least a week after.
Any others?
Aphra.
ok people there have been suggestions that Friday the 20th of June might be a good evening to have our next ‘shindig’.
One suggested location was Thomas Reads – although if my memory serves me right that is usually jammed on a Friday and pumping music which might mean not too good for getting to know people. (Or am I getting old??)
Any thoughts on that venue or suggetions for elsewhere on that evening?
Aphra.
