Center for Gaming Research: Gaming Research Colloquium Series
I’m really excited about this new series, which is less formal than a lecture but more structured than a chat.
In other news, I’ve revamped the main page of the Center for Gaming Research, and I’m pretty jazzed about the new look. I humbly ask you to take a look for yourself.
