Here we are!

Last weekend (4-5 july) we attended Minecon in London with a 10 computer booth running Cobalt. It was an amazing weekend which superseded our expectations in all ways imaginable. Here is just a small sample of what was going on:

Crowd did all count down from 10 in unison.

Booth filled up quickly and now the focus was on making sure everybody had the best time that we could give them.

People of all ages were playing. The most fun was to walk up to a parent who wasn't playing and just hand them a controller. No excuses! Everyone plays!

We had a special tournament where you could challenge one of the agents, AKA "the pros", no mercy. If you won you got the game for free!
