Planet Irish Gaming

I was going to be streaming some of CONFESS live on Qik this weekend… I still plan to; assuming that the service comes back up (otherwise I’ll just have to make do with recording on the N95 and posting up here later)…

I was inspired to this by Omegar’s post about using technology in our games; why not use more technology in ourr gaming community? We’re a pretty tech savvy bunch (gamers in general I mean) and we do a load of stuff online (as proven by this blog and the tons of other gamer blogs) so why not give people who can’t make it a chance to watch what we’re doing at cons and laugh at us (comments and live chat on Qik are pretty cool!).

So – I’ll be editing this post as the weekend goes on with links and (hopefully) embeded video from CONFESS all thanks to Qik. For those of you who won’t be at CONFESS – watch the video and come next year!

Edit: As of now (17:00 by my clock) Qik is up and running so we should be fine for the weekend!

Edit: It’s Saturday and the Con is well under way… There are a few videos up on Qik – I don’t know if anyone else is going to stream from the convention but if they do here is the link to see all the videos: http://qik.com/event/346/Confess 2008

Embedding a Qik video in the post is a bit problematic – I’ll have to download and upload to WordPress and the broadband in the Southern Hotel is not great to say the least so I think I’ll just let you all go to the link above to see the videos…

Gonna try using vodpod to include the clips here… Hope it doesn’t blow up!
First impressions of the meet and greet were pretty cool!
