Casual Connect, Day 1
Fresh from my vacation last week (well, where did you think I had disappeared to?), and I have jumped right back into the middle of things. I am at day 1 of the Casual Connect casual games conference here in Seattle. I’ve got a busy three days ahead of me, and plan to post a podcast a night with interviews from folks in the casual games industry as well as commentary about what I’ve seen and heard.
I’m currently waiting for the opening keynote speech to start, and thought that I’d look through my “bag ‘o swag” to see what this year’s take is.
First up: A cool Gelaskins iPhone skin cover with the Addicting Games logo on it. It actually looks pretty cool, with tiny thumbnails of characters from casual games all over. I’ll see if I can get a link to the image and see how many characters we all can figure out. I also got a Gelaskins drink coaster. Weee.
Next: Energy boosting sunflower seeds from PopCap Games popular Plants vs. Zombies. Not that I need them this moment…my Pea Shooter died (well, we thought it would survive our vacation…apparently the zombies got into the house). Kids will have fun planting it and capturing the sun drops that fall. ;)
Playrix dropped in a pen. But not any ordinary pen. If you happened to get bored with keynote speeches, you can start moving the tiny little marble through the little maze in the pen. Looks pretty cool, actually.
A free game card from Paysafecard and free coins from Mochi. So if I need to play games while I’m here (like I don’t have enough to review right now) I’ve got more. Heh.
Oh, and another cool bag from Big Fish Games, with a little outside pocket.
Nice haul overall, but sorta expected more based on last year. ‘Course, last year we didn’t have this year’s economy. :(
