Interesting little story about a game inventors class at UNLV on the CBS morning show today, link here:

Surprising to me that Konami would pay much for a video Pai Gow Tiles game.

I saw this on the web the other day and thought it was a great idea. The value is not only in the game creation area of the course, but most importantly it can get you in front of the important people in the industry. Why didn't the University of Toledo have something like this when i was going through school?!!!!!!

She is a college student, so it's hard to tell what she thinks is a lot of money.
I heart Crystal Math.

This may have more to do about the game than anything.

“KONAMI CORPORATION has a long-­standing philanthropic relationship with UNLV "
Shed not for her the bitter tear Nor give the heart to vain regret Tis but the casket that lies here, The gem that filled it Sparkles yet
