Splash Damage to be at London Games Festival, GameCity Next Week

We’re set to invade two of Britain’s biggest public gaming events next week, with members of Splash Damage heading to London Games Festival and GameCity up in Nottingham.

Studio owner Paul ‘Locki’ Wedgwood will be giving talks at both events, while Media Director Richard ‘Fluffy_gIMp’ Jolly, Audio Director Chris ‘peaceful warrior’ Sweetman, and Paul will also be giving advice to people looking to break into the industry as part of the BAFTA surgeries programme in London. And who could forget that Edward ‘Bongoboy’ Stern is putting in a glamorous panelist appearance at the Rock Paper Shotgun Thinkosium! To top things off, we’ll also be popping by the Golden Joysticks 2008 awards ceremony on Friday.
