More Than a Game: On Joining the British Games Institute

Last week, I was formally onboarded as a new trustee of the British Games Institute (BGI), the incredible organisation that runs the National Videogames Museum. After taking part in my first board meeting, I’ve been reflecting on why this work is so important – and why it cuts to the very heart of the challenges and opportunities facing our entire industry.

For years, we’ve all heard the same statistics. We know the games industry is commercially massive, dwarfing film and music combined. We are, by any financial metric, a spectacular success story.

But for all our commercial confidence, we have been shamefully quiet when it comes to our cultural confidence. As an industry, we are incredibly adept at talking about what we make and how much it sells for, but we are often silent, or even dismissive, on the subject of why it matters.

We lack cultural leadership. We have very few public-facing institutions that look beyond that huge financial bottom line and champion the deeper, transformative potential of play.

The Role of The British Games Institute

This is precisely why the BGI and the National Videogames Museum are so vital. They are one of the very few organisations in the UK dedicated to preserving, cataloguing, and interrogating games as a cultural form. They are the epitome of the ‘More Than Games’ philosophy – a permanent, physical declaration that games are more than just ‘digital toys’ suitable only for children, or financially lucrative products; they are artistic expressions, social platforms, and powerful tools for learning and connection.

In an industry defined by rapid technological change and relentless forward momentum, we need an institution that has the mandate to look back, to hold onto our history, and to ask critical questions about our impact.

But for me, this new role isn’t just about preservation. That work is essential, but it is the foundation, not the final structure. The true opportunity is to help build upon that foundation. It’s about looking beyond just cataloguing the past and helping to position Britain as a global leader in thinking about games differently.

This is a platform to champion the role of games in our wider cultural and social life. It’s about moving from simply preserving our history to actively using our medium’s power to shape the future – in education, in healthcare, in public policy, and in our national discourse.

I am incredibly proud and excited to join the BGI board and to contribute to this mission. It is work that aligns perfectly with everything we are trying to build here in Scotland – a mature, confident, and culturally-aware games ecosystem that understands its own value far beyond the balance sheet.

Last week, I had the pleasure of working with Children’s Capital of Culture in Rotherham for an amazing project — the 8-Bit Jam!

We introduced children to the magic of making music using vintage 8-bit video game machines, transforming classic technology into creative musical instruments. It was inspiring to see how curiosity and play can come together to create something truly unique.

A huge thank you to Rotherham and the entire team for letting me be part of this incredible initiative! 💡✨

It’s Oktoberfest Already

I had no idea Denver celebrated Oktoberfest in September. I always thought the Oktober part of Oktober fest referred to October because I’m a dumb American. Anyways, when I think of Oktoberfest, I think of a mega house party – a shit ton of drinking games with one guy who’s way too into the grill.

And houseparty vibes is what alt rock bands Moonpool and NVM gave. The people in the back were drinking beers and eating pizza while the people in front were bopping with the bands who were also bopping because, as at all house parties, the band is friends with like half the people. They only exist to give people a good time and to get laid. And while I can’t talk to the latter half of that, the former definitely happened.

Then demonic metal rockers Faetooth and shoegaze Slow Crush came in and changed it from a house party to a concert. From a social experience to a night of music. The crunchy Faetooth came in and… I mean, I guess they slowed things down. But they also made things angry with their crunchy guitar tones and whimsical gutter growls from hell. So a little bit of this, a little bit of that I guess.

And I guess Slow Crush also slowed things down with their atmospheric rock. Although, in my notes, I wrote that it was like an acid trip. So maybe the house party never stopped. Maybe people got too intense – Faetooth – and then the drugs kicked in – Slow Crush. Which happens, not just in Colorado where shrooms are now legal too, but everywhere.

When I left, Oktoberfest was obviously still rocking. It was a Saturday night and there’s a college not too far away. It felt highly appropriate given what I had just experience at Slow Crush’s show. The good vibes kept going, the smell of good food still invaded, the people… still existed.

I’m not going to judge people I’ve never met, but I did enjoy the gauntlet of festivities as I walked to my car, which is something I wouldn’t normally say. I guess I was just put in a good mood.

De woningmarkt breekt opnieuw records, maar dan wel iets meer in het voordeel van mensen die op zoek zijn naar een woning. Het aantal te koop staande huizen is gegroeid naar 52.000. Sinds 2008 stonden er niet zoveel woningen te koop. Dat zorgt, eindelijk, voor neerwaartse druk op de prijzen.

Deze zaterdag houdt makelaarsorganisatie NVM haar halfjaarlijkse Open Huizen Dag. Bij ongeveer 6200 huizen gaan dan de deuren open voor potentiële kopers. Waar moet je als kijker op letten? „Mensen focussen zich vaak op technische zaken die totaal niet van belang zijn.”

Scottish Games Network Founder Joins National Videogame Museum As New Trustee

The National Videogame Museum (NVM) has announced a roster of new Trustees joining the Board of its governing charity, The British Games Institute (BGI), including Brian Baglow – the founder of the Scottish Games Network and Scottish Games Week.

With a dynamic blend of cross-sector expertise, the appointments come at a pivotal moment for the charity as it accelerates its evolution as a museum and shifts focus towards greater national impact.

The new appointments represent experts from culture, visitor attractions, videogames, fundraising, and marketing. The influx of new Trustees will join the Board in two phases as previous tenures end. These strategic additions will bolster the Museum’s governance while helping the NVM meet its ambitious goals for the future.

Under the leadership of Co-CEOs Cat Powell and John O’Shea since 2022, the NVM has done significant work consolidating the collection, developing exhibitions and enriching experience for audiences and researchers and, this spring, the Charity is on track to submit for Arts Council England’s National Museum Accreditation.

As the UK’s only museum dedicated to the history, social and cultural impact of videogames, the NVM is positioned at the forefront of preserving the Nation’s videogames heritage. With a mission statement asserting that videogames are for everyone, the Museum continues to evolve, ensuring gaming culture and its preservation is relevant and accessible to all.

New Trustees Announced:

Beginning in March 2025, the NVM will welcome the first phase of new trustees:

• David Barrie (founder and CEO of Game Academy)
• Joe Chetcuti (Creative Director at Creative Assembly)
• Emma Cooper (Creative Industries Knowledge Transfer Manager at Innovate UK)
• Natalie Kane (Curator of Digital Design at The V&A)
• Nick Poole (Chief Executive of UKIE)

With extensive experience in game development, cultural institutions, brand management and technological innovation, these trustees will play a key role in guiding the Museum as it expands its National profile and strengthens how its mission to highlight videogames culture, interfaces with audiences and the wider sector.

The next phase of appointments will follow in November 2025:

• Brian Baglow (Founder of Scottish Games Week)
• John Booth (Senior Director at Sony Interactive Entertainment)
• Emily Britt (Senior Communications Manager at Sharkmob)
• Jess Gaskell (Director of PMO at Sumo Digital)

Their expertise from leading and working with companies in the games industry and sector across the UK and Europe will ensure the Museum’s continued relevance and its ability to build strategic plans that shape the future of videogames preservation and education.

The new Board of the National Videogame Museum, based in Sheffield, will celebrate the Museum’s presence in the North and enhance the understanding of its communities and their needs while bringing a national profile to the Charity’s innovative work.

Claire Boissiere, Chair of the Board of Trustees at the NVM, said:

We are honoured to welcome our new Trustees to the Board. Their extensive experience will be invaluable as we embark on an exciting new chapter in the National Videogame Museum’s journey, expanding our national presence and advancing our mission. We are excited to see how their ideas and insights will help shape our future.

We also want to share our heartfelt thanks to the Trustees stepping down at this time. Their dedication, guidance, and leadership have played a huge role in shaping the Museum’s success. Their impact will continue to inspire us, and we are deeply grateful for the time, energy, and passion they have given to the Museum.

Brian Baglow, said:

I am delighted and honoured to become a trustee of the British Games Institute and the National Videogame museum alongside such an incredible range of experts, leaders and innovators.

The NVM is a phenomenal asset in the UK’s cultural appreciation of games. Its work in preserving and providing access to games is invaluable and I believe it can play an even greater role in the the appreciation of the growing cultural and social impact of games beyond the consumer market.

I’m looking forward to helping the organisation grow, thrive and play a major role in the ongoing evolution of the games ecosystem across the whole of the United Kingdom.”

[08:34] Het is knokken op de woningmarkt. Een Open Huizen Dag, heeft dat nog wel zin? 'Ik kan een huis maar aan één iemand verkopen’

Veel vraag, weinig aanbod en overal overbieden: een woning zoeken is anno 2025 een hectische bezigheid. De landelijke Open Huizen Dag van de Nederlandse Vereniging van Makelaars (NVM) komt er weer aan, op 5 april. Is dat nog wel nodig, nu de meeste huizen toch snel verkocht zijn?

"De afspraken voor een strenger systeem zouden vandaag ondertekend worden, maar de #NVM gaat daar dus niet in mee.
[...]
Vereniging Eigen Huis roept minister Keijzer (Volkshuisvesting) nu op om zelf de regie in handen te nemen. Vastgoed Nederland, de andere grote branchevereniging met meer dan 2000 makelaars, heeft de afspraken wél ondertekend"

Mooi dat er competitie ontstaat met de NVM

Anyway, this was somehow due to #Node.js being upgraded or something like that - which taught me to pin/recommend a specific node version on my projects. Not really the type of thing I've encountered with #Python before to think about it too much.

This also taught me, perhaps the importance of installing an LTS version of Node. This also led me to discover #nvm, which is a super neat way of managing multiple Node.js versions on a single system.

I've documented in my Wiki how I set nvm up.

People joke about installing Python environments (https://xkcd.com/1987/), but I'm looking at #Typescript and... am I misunderstanding, but `sudo apt install npm` (on #Ubuntu2204) gives me a #node version (12.22) that isn't compatible with installing the typescript package (EBADENGINE required: node >=14.17). So I should install latest node using #nvm, which installs via curl of a script which git clones its own repo to my ~/.npm, does this sounds right so far? #newb #seekingAdvice

building on what we learned so far, now things start getting really interesting: we clone the base machine and start installing web dev stuff such as #nvm and #node.js then set up port forwarding and stuff!
