Adam Nelson moved to Pittsburgh in 2005 and may never leave. A student of economics at Pitt, his interest in game design was originally inspired by a course in game theory which laid the foundation for creating a new healthy pastime for the city of Pittsburgh: "Obscure Games."
The impetus for this project began while Adam worked as an instructor at a summer academic program. After being (literally) forced to play with the students, he soon realized that it had been over five years since he had gone to play just for the fun of it, and resolved to bring that spirit of play back to Pittsburgh. A little over a year later, Obscure Games has produced nearly a hundred game events of all kinds for dozens of people of all ages throughout the city. His plans to have a even greater program for 2011, include bringing technology into the games sphere for GA/GI (pronounced GAH-gee), next April!
The 2011 Geek Art/Green Innovators Festival will kick off at the Penn Avenue "Unblurred" of Friday, April 1 with stellar eco/tech/art and fashion; GA/GI extend to Saturday, April 2 which will feature GA/GI Kids activities; also a new featured guest: I Made It Market with a"Going Green" theme. A new GA/GI website with more details will be launching soon!
