[compsoc-announce] Week 4

[Will Thompson]

'lo,

This week's talk concerns the horrible plague that scars our minds and
unbalances children around the world on a daily basis, and should be
banned at once: video games!

The video games industry: design, development, future
=====================================================
Date: Thursday 18th May, 20.30
Venue: TBA
Speaker: Patrick O'Luanaigh

    Author of Game Design Complete and former head of external
    development at Codemasters, Patrick O'Luanaigh is now Design
    Director at SCi/Eidos.  He'll be speaking to us about the video
    games industry; in particular, game design, how new games are
    created (such as the latest Tomb Raider installment) and some
    possible future trends in the industry. He'll also touch upon the
    best ways to get into the industry as a graduate.

I'll let you know tomorrow at the latest where the talk will be. Also,
if we're really lucky Patrick might be able to show us footage from
games still in development. \o/
