October 19th – October 25th

The Valley Nerd Watch! We’ve been talking about Pioneer Valley Game Developers events for a while now. They’re a great group of people who work to bring interesting speakers and fun times to all the hard-working local game developers, and that’s great. But also, they do their own projects sometimes too! Pat King of Woodpenny […]

October 12th – October 18th

The Valley Nerd Watch! First of all, some sad local news. In case you were not aware, the Platinum Pony experienced a very intense fire last Monday night.

The Valley Nerd Watch! It’s not strictly in the purview of the Nerd Watch, but we’d like to express a deep, deep envy of the people who were at Green River Festival this weekend. We were unable to attend and danged if that is not a fun time for all and sundry. Also wait it might […]

June 29th – July 5th

The Valley Nerd Watch! We really like computer games! The bad part about computer games is that you generally get them via a giant online storefront. Purchasing things on a giant online storefront does nothing to make the Valley a better place. This fills us with guilt, and we regularly tear our shirts from our backs […]

June 8th – June 14th

The Valley Nerd Watch! Goodness! Hack for Western Mass was a really fun time! Not only fun, but extremely useful!

We began Saturday […]

March 16th – 22nd

The Valley Nerd Watch!
