International Hobo is proud to announce that our very own Wendy Despain has been elected to serve on the board of the IGDA. Also elected this year was long-time friend of the company Darius Kazemi, while Coray Seifert - THQ's dice-throwing ninja - had his board position renewed. You can read about the election results on the IGDA website.

Wendy will be at GDC this year, and will be happy to talk about issues concerning the IGDA with anyone who corners her. She will once again be hosting the IGDA Writing SIG's Group Gathering, while ihobo's Ernest Adams has a talk entitled Single-Player, Multiplayer, MMOG: Design Psychologies for Different Social Contexts. Chris Bateman will sadly miss this year's GDC, but will return in 2011.

ihobo will take a short break for GDC and will return in April.
