From BAFTA VGA
This is me, part way through the evening.
So I'm really blogging to ask you what you thought about the event as it was streamed. BAFTA are keen to find out your experiences (I've read Kesa's on his buzz), but I'd love to hear more feedback; good and bad!
Meantime, here's Miyamoto to keep us all happy..Verohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18321479113421699261noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1318707295041994326.post-24989220495215784222010-03-17T20:38:00.000Z2010-03-17T20:38:54.678ZArcade DiagramHey!
