Games I learned about today - Shining Force EXA (PS2, 2007) - Bounden (iOS, 2014) - Burning Rangers (Saturn, 1998) #gameliteracy
Had a fun weekend giving a workshop on my #TBLT Gaming framework in Utsunomiya, Tochigi.
Games I learned about today - Threads of Fate (PS1, 1996) Dual protagonist cuteness - Combat Queen (PS2, 2002) FMV overload - Siren (PS2, 2003) Well, I knew of this one, but not of the facial animations
Gran Turismo (1 or 2) used to have environmental birds that flew up as you drove towards them right? RIGHT? I just watched some recent videos and couldn't see them... Am I totally remembering this incorrectly?
Today's realization: I much prefer writing in Google Docs over Word.
Went to the #metalgear pop up in Shinjuku earlier today. Nothing that I particularly wanted, apart from the life-size stands!!

Been spending a lot of time on #Pragmata. It took me a while to get used to the controls, but once you have it down, it’s a really great experience. The unlocks and progression were also super well done. Excellent game. Well done Capcom.

Just finished Obsession and thought it looked like Natalie Portman and Fred Again.. at the worst raves of their lives.
Fun and inspiring times at Day 1 of Serious Play Conference yesterday. Looking forward to more today. #seriousplay26
Some of the excellent mushrooms I found in North Carolina today.

A rare trip to Mt. Fuji (only the 5th station). Shame the weather is so bad. Still, I made sure I got my melon pan! I also spent some time writing postcards to my family.
I'm teaching a class on the difference between #gamification and #gamebasedlearning today so it's time to bust out one of my papers 👇 www.digitalcultureandeducation.com/volume-143-p... Don't trick, be ludic. 💊💊

Pro tip: Don’t go running in the heavy rain with your AirPod Pros in… 🏃♂️ 🌧️ 🎧💀🪦
Learned a ton about Vampire Savior from this excellent video 👇 youtu.be/bbl1856uGI0 I knew some characters from Super Puzzle Fighter on the Saturn, but had no idea they were from a gorgeous fighting game from Capcom. 😲
Vampire Savior is my Favorite Fighting Game

Found abandoned during my run today. Frame looks good, but the wheels and gears are incredibly rusty.
On heavy rotation recently youtu.be/tBIjplYYIzY LTJ Bukem is such a legend. His distinctive choice of an "intelligent" dnb vibe runs all the way through this mix.
