Hey, if you think videogames and art are things apart, I suggest taking a look at GRIS, a new videogame by Nomada Studio, a Spanish team full of talent and amazing artists.

Hey, Game of Throne fans! Reigns: game of Thrones has just been announced! A cool mobile (and PC) game where you have to choose between two options to solve some problems and keep your kingdom alive! And now with Game of Thrones stuff!
Look at its first trailer here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4kiwF0StZhg

Remember this? Well, sorry European folks but you won't get your hands on this (unless you import it, of course) because it won't come to European stores. At least not yet.

You may know that there are webs like metacritic that use some of these scored opinions to give with a simple number how good a product is, which is quite incorrect . A simple mean is assuming that the product has an objective and intrinsic correct score. Using probability and this Poisson distribution we can give probabilities and more accurate data.
I show it all in a PDF (it's in Spanish, sorry), and you can see it here: https://www.caja-pdf.es/2018/07/04/presentacion-fest-avengers/

I don't know if anyone here is interested but given you like #maths and stuff, I am gonna share it.
I recently found that scored opinions about things (I studied music, games, films and TV series) actually follow a concrete probability distribution: POISSON DISTRIBUTION

That's it for today! I hope you enjoy these kind of things and don't hesitate to ask for things if you want to! :D

Last but not least I would like to highlight one indie game each day. Today's indie game will be Endling, a Spanish videogame about a fox and how we treat the environment.
Check it out here: https://herobeatstudios.com/endling/

Supermassive games, the studio behind some cool terror games like Until Dawn announced The Dark Pictures Anthology, a terror videogames series that will kick off in 2019 with Man of Medan. Here it's the terrorific trailer

Okay, so #gamescom2018 got me quite busy all day long. But as I promised, I am gonna tell you the highlights from Cologne. I am starting a thread with the best news and announcements from gamescom day 1.

Given the fact that I see many #science people around here I am gonna tell you that the Feynman books (Lectures on Physics) were one of my favourites back in university. I still like coming back to them every time I have the chance to.
