Just realised the design of the @yow_oz banner is very thematically relevant for my talk this afternoon! #strandsofbinary #yow16 https://t.co/V3z7gWiFCz

@BernHyland There are quite a few in the game design talk!


@BernHyland Sitting in front makes it hard. 🙁


@parisba @thesecretlab @desplesda He did in Brissie. Not sure! Fear of mussing his locks?
