Today I was a speaker at the Iraq E-Gaming Expo, where I talked about why we should make games, and how?

It was an amazing experience that I will never forget. The audience were awesome.

I didn’t have enough time to take pics, with all the visitors and media asking me a lot of question. I only managed to snap these.

It was an awesome day. Two more to go.
