Heartfelt Greetings!

I’ve had to
give up some things lately, other priorities pushed their way shoving aside my fun time and, well I’m sure everyone knows how that goes.  Throw in a computer failure and I had to limp along until I could replace it and my time on Gameful has really suffered, so I’m sorry for that.  I’m happy to say I now have things under control and have my new computer so yay can get back in the groove.  Did you miss me?

I missed everyone
which speaks to the sense of community I found here.  Wonderful caring monsters who will be guiding the new way of learning by creating games for social benefit.  Just imagine the change for the good which will happen all because we were given a platform to connect and share.  Inspiring!

I borrowed time
to have the HUGM 3rd ever in the world group hug and yay the next one will be end of June, but will set a different time.

The GUEMs
have been going along I see, and I’ll get them rallied again.  Still not word on the end date but it’s coming up in the next few weeks.  Good work to all who participated and I am certain you learned something from playing Urgent Evoke.  We’ll be ready when they release Season 2 that’s for sure!

I have to
take it easy, so will keep this short but wanted to pop in and wave a hearty hi to all my friends.  Never forget how lucky we are and hugs across the wires to all

Yes, it’s that time, yayyyy the party’s on for the 3rd ever Hug Ur Gameful Monster (HUGM) group hug, general minging, dancing and oooo my fav, the bunny hop.  Hope you can join us and don’t forget we’ll have a group photo for the history books too.

What fun
I had today at the second in the world ever Hug Ur Gameful Monsters (HUGM) party today in the virtual world of Second Life.  I am so sorry that the computer requirements to run Second Life prohibit some from joining in and am looking at alternatives for future web-based participation.

Thank you so much
QuantumChaos – @quantumchaos USA; Mika Oja – enkwolf FINLAND; Andres Fredes – @amdresf AUSTRALIA; and Betsy Pool – @Imaginebp ITALY, for coming to the party and I could tell you were enjoying yourselves, such interesting conversation and connecting, I love it!  The HUGM group hug was a smashing success, a hug felt around the world from my heart to yours.  Betsy I’m soo sorry you had to leave before the photo, but next time

Using the virtual world
is a different experience, it’s the immersive experience and I can only say I’m a believer having tried it.  I feel different when I hug an avatar rather than chat it out in a message even though I’m as sincere for one as I am for the other.  All you WoW type gamers know what I’m talking about I’m sure.  My time as an avatar has really made me understand what Jane talks about with the fiero factor.

The next HUGM
mix and mingle party and group hug photo op will be on May 28, time to be determined so follow our group, I’ll post the details in a short while.  Until then, hug lots and dance often

BuffyB knows how to throw a party

Yay, it’s time for the second in the world ever
dance and mingle time for Gameful monsters, and of course the famous photo will be taken of our group hug.  I’m excited and hope you are too, oooo we’ve got the Salsa, we’ve got the Dream Dance and more, and my personal favourite… the Bunny Hop!!  Fun WOW

See the Gameful group
for location info you can attend from anywhere in the world if your computer can handle virtual world graphics and network. 

Be there….
or be square

Hearty Greetings,
I’m ready for the first in the world ever group hug of Gameful Monsters, in Second Life tomorrow morning at  6:00 AM Pacific Time which is the same as Vancouver time, check the world clock to convert to your time.

I’ve got the sign up, the dances out (bunny hop and a wonderful little line dance jig) and oh my today found a Group Hug animation so we can really do this for the photo op for those who wish to have a group hug.  Otherwise you can still join in, stand around and look cool

That’s me on the welcome sign with the bunnies waiting just for us HUGMs
