I had a blast at GDC this year – couldn’t help but notice memes everywhere. Internet – stop invading my real life.
Also special shout outs to Pixel, Dasha, Jamy, Jay Moore, Royal O’Brien, Matt Daly, John Say, and all the fine people I met while up there. I wish I took more pictures; ah well, reminder for next time.
- A lot of good conversations were had, also great to meet a large contingent of game-making-game people over drinks
- Many people liked my ideas about social convergence and asynchronicity; I have some potential beta testers for my collaborative storytelling engine
- Met many good business contacts over many good drinks
- The Fairmont hotel was awesome, complete with trap door bookshelf and bed that Marilyn and Kennedy were in
- I regret a bit not getting the full pass, but I was tired enough as it was (great to sleep in on those days)
- Jane McGonigal’s panel was inspiring as always
- Was a master of concentration but a failure at relaxation in NeuroSky‘s game
- Got my head scanned – still need to go get that app to post on facebook – my hair looked funny but dull
- The new BigWorld 2.0 stuff looks amazing
- lol @ BoneTown – great work guys, expect a contact
- A lot of buzz about Onlive – check 2 entries back for my response
- Unity is looking cooler and cooler these days
- Exhausted and sick as soon as I returned, but at least I’m getting over it fast
And now some pics

I wondered how long until the store would sell this and for how much
There are two of these – one at Virgin, one at gamestop that I found
San Francisco is a wonderful juxtaposition of Old and New

Duck Roll!

I know this started with south park but 4chan made it funny

At the poker party, finals
You know a party is good when it ends in Martial Arts lessons
