This could have been a great idea, a social group thread, as many a time we have things to share n ask but simply don't feel the need of starting a new thread.
Great Work Bert. Simply Amusing. Would love to see more of it. If you don't mind can you please share the details, like the software you worked on and so on...
For paintings and models you can organize a small weekend events with goodies and parties. Invites to local known sculptors and artists can also do. And there are always competitions that could make the games corner more happening. Prizes, game passes, free KOW goodies(like stickers or simply tattoos) can make it a big hit.
As for games, as i am more of an artist, suggestion of Piston sounds just perfect.(tournaments!)
