  • The craziest soccer match ever played

    It’s been a quiet week for Copenhagen Game Collective. The whole gang has been away at Roskilde Festival – everyone but me and Bernie, that is. To fill the time, we’ve been watching the World Cup. Yes, this year’s tournament has been full of drama. But even this World Cup can’t compare to this insane…

  • Weekly Music Tip: 8-bit Reading Rainbow

    Those photos of LeVar Burton playing B.U.T.T.O.N. got me thinking about the old PBS television show Reading Rainbow (which Burton famously produced and hosted). So, I thought I’d theme this week’s music tip accordingly – with a chip tune remix of the Reading Rainbow theme song! This one goes out to all of you who…

  • LeVar Burton playing B.U.T.T.O.N.

    Boy, am I jealous that I didn’t make it out to E3! Lau was on hand to demo our party game, B.U.T.T.O.N., at the IndieCade showcase. LeVar Burton – who is apparently an avid fan of gaming – stopped by to try some of the games. Lau even got to play B.U.T.T.O.N. with him! Burton,…

  • Weekly Music Tip: Forever Famicom

    In recent years, there have been a lot of cringe-worthy hip-hop/videogame music mash-ups. So it comes as a very pleasant surprise to finally hear some videogame-flavored hip-hop that’s, well, really enjoyable! Forever Famicom, released just this month, features a host of beats inspired by classic NES and SNES games, including Little Nemo, Secret of Mana,…

  • Weekly Music Tip: Gwigwi Mrwebi

    How ’bout that Siphiwe Tshabalala goal from Friday?! Phenomenal! Well, I already talked about Abdullah Ibrahim earlier this week. So here’s some more South African jazz: Gwigwi Mrwebi’s Mbaqanga Songs (originally known as Kwela), originally from 1967, was re-issued on the excellent Honest Jon’s imprint in 2006. Here’s some additional context from AllAboutJazz.com: Mbaqanga saxophone…

  • World Cup! 16 Great South African Songs

    [singlepic id=334 w=500 h=333 float=] The World Cup kicks off in less than an hour! Of course I am deliriously excited. I’m a little concerned about Denmark’s chances, as the team hasn’t been playing so well recently. But no matter – my heart is ultimately with the American and South African teams. I do feel…

  • Grubby in Copenhagen

    WarCraft III star Manuel “Grubby” Schenkhuizen was recently here in Copenhagen for a day-long workshop on e-sports. He spoke on a great panel about pro gaming, along with Ryan Hart and Jonas “bsl” Vikan (Street Fighter and Counter-Strike pros, respectively). You can watch it here: The event was organized by my research group here at…
