    So Peter Molyneux, the main guy behind bullfrog (Theme Park, Theme Hospital) Lionhead studios (Black & white, Fable) populous and many other games is giving a talk in DIT for the Jameson Film festival :Dhttp://jdiff.ticketsolve.com/shows/23497949/events This guy has created a lot of my favorite games through the years and I'd say it'll be interesting.

    €5 to see this is well worth it for anyone looking to go into the games industry.

    Also
    Peter Connolly - Executive Producer from Microsoft Games Studio will be in attendance.

    So... anyone else heading...? :D

    I wonder if he'll bring Mylo!!!

    TBH i think he's made some great games, but i'll only go if someone can promise me he won't harp on about how great Natal is/will be and how it'll revolutionize the market.

    Ehem...
    Molyneux will discuss RPGs and their inherently cinematic nature. This will be followed by a panel discussion addressing RPG game development within the Irish gaming industry and will be chaired by Aphra Kerr.

    :p Doesn't sound like natal talk to me ;)

    Might go if there are tickets available. Is it safe to buy from ticketsolve.com? I don't like inputting credit card details on unfamiliar sites.

    How do you receive tickets and, if it's by standard post, how long does it take for delivery?

    I'd love to go, think I'm busy on Thursday night though :( Say what you will about his games, but the man is one of the closest things to a developer with a unique personality and vision. Of course he can go over the top, but there are generally good ideas buried in the hyperbole.
