Talk & Play #22 registrations are open, we’ve got a chat, the world’s largest videogame collection will be in Berlin

Registrations for Talk & Play #22 on December 6th at the Game Science Center are open, RSVP via Meetup now because spots will go fast once I send the notification out to all group members. This time we’re going to have talks by Allan Cudicio (Was Luigi Gay?), Daniel Ziegener (Reviews as Games), Jana Reinhardt (SOLITUDE) and Linda Kerkhoff (Girls Make Games – Recap of the First Workshop in Berlin). I gotta feeling that the night’s gonna be a good good night, so don’t miss it, ok?

One more announcement: BerlinGameScene.com now has its own chat server on Discord, which looks a lot like Slack, but has some features which make it a much better fit for communities like ours. You don’t even need to provide an email address to get started, so give it a try if you’d like to keep in touch with other local game enthusiasts.

Looking for a job?

Excellent, because I’ve heard some companies are hiring in Berlin right now:

Early Early Bird Full Festival tickets for the A MAZE. / Berlin 2017 Festival are on sale, and there are only a handful left. An additional day focusing on the artistic and interdisciplinary production of content for virtual reality has also been added to the programme. If you can’t wait until April, come to the Amazing X-M4rk3t Vol. 002 at Urban Spree on December 4th (which is basically a xmas market, A MAZE.-style) – I’m probably going to be there with a table as well, so come say hello!

As usual, if you’d like to receive regular updates about the Berlin game scene follow @BerlinGamez on Twitter and like the BGS Facebook page. Joining the Meetup group ain’t a bad idea either.
