And the Hits just keep on coming....

We've had another positive step in my "Games Will Overcome" crusade in higher ed here in the mountains of Colorado. Along with the two faculty members in my class, another adult member is a very interesting guy from Aspen;in the snowboarding and film industries (was in the Conan movies). I got a call from him today telling me that he has been talking about the class, and wanted me to know about a conversation he had during lunch yesterday. Skipping the boring details, the result is that I've been invited up to "the mountain", to play with the high-tech ski and snowboard simulators, the 3D motion capture hardware they use for their movies, and to talk with them about game design and training/learning...and Torque. I think I'll go.....

It also turns out that another class member is a former world champion snowboard dude with similar connections and projects in mind. It appears to me that we may have some serious support growing for our new game design program, as well as some potentially good opportunities for some strong game development requiring some skilled contractors from the world of Torque.

I'm sure that one of these days I'm going to have to deal with one of my 'administrator types' who will point out all of the negatives of what is happening, but for today.......WOW!
