David Thomas sent me some pictures of me from the Princeton conference… he promises more photos (and, if he hasn’t had second thoughts), a long blog post soon.
Update: David’s Princeton video game conference notes are up now.
Here is the lineup for session 2. (Note the joysticks in the foreground.)
- Dennis Jerz / You are standing at the beginning of a road: examining Will Crowther’s “Advent” (c.1976)
- Christy Wampole / Electronic games as a constrained medium
- Robert Bowen / Musical by-products of Atari 2600 games
Playing something (probably “Atari Adventure”) on the projection screen, courtesy the Atari 2600 brought by Nick Montfort.

Dennis,
I actually like the new hair! It makes a personal statement about how passionate you are about teaching and research, but also reminds people that you are cool at the same time.
Dennis,
My goodness! I know you said that you grew your hair out, but if not for the glasses and the suit, I thought maybe these pics were of Joel Pace. Speaking of Joel, he says “Hey!” after I told him about your conference.
Thanks for passing along the greeting. The sad thing about the hair is that it’s not a deliberate stylistic choice — I simply haven’t had time to get it cut, and as long as my family members and students don’t run screaming from me, hey, it’s good enough.
