GAMBIT staff video podcasts from GDC

The GAMBIT Game Lab is closed this week as the staff attends the 2010 Game Developers Conference in San Francisco–but they haven’t been out of touch with MIT, as events coordinator Generoso Fierro keeps uploading great conversations by GAMBIT staff about the topics coming up at GDC.

Day Two: The GAMBIT Staff meets for breakfast to discuss the previous day’s highlights, former GAMBIT researcher Jesper Juul weighs in on the FARMVILLE phenomenon and we end with a clip from the founders of The Global Game Jam.
