This coming Friday and Saturday, February 27 & 28, 2015, scholars, players, and designers will come together in a wide variety of panels to discuss Japanese video-games and gaming culture. The conference is completely free and open to the public with a simple RSVP.

I will be presenting on “Legal, Normative & Cultural Perspectives on Mods and Modding of Japanese Video Games” as part of a panel on “Economics and Law in the Gaming Industry” at 11:30 AM – 12:30 PM at the UBC Asian Centre, 1871 West Mall.

    You must wear gaming clothes or clothes in which you have played for an excessive period of time…then just throw over a suit jacket and a dash of cologne
