So yea, with the site being down today I focused a bit on other stuff, like catching up on my Gawker blogs (Giz, Kotaku, Lifehacker, etc) and even took 45 minutes to jam to some Guitar Hero because I just couldn't stand it anymore - withdrawal is ugly. I also had to go out to dinner for my friend's…

So, finally have some stuff starting to appear on the main coverage page for GDC 08! Check out the following additions I uploaded today:

• Postmortem: PIXELJUNK Series
• Evolving Aquaria
• Contracting Vs. Indie: The Showdown
• The Game Attorney: Indie Edition

All that took me nearly 5 hours to write up, althoug…

GDC Blog Highlights

I took the time today to finally look through everyone else's blog posts from GDC. It was a pretty wide-spread case of not being able to connect to the internet easily enough that caused many to update sporadically. I'll touch more upon that in my annual GDC Postmortem next weeke…

Well, I made it to my first session today, which was An Agile Retrospective given by the CTO of High Moon Studios and discussed how Scrum works in the game development industry. The talk covered the entire agile process and several key methodologies like XP (eXtreme Programming) and the concept of …

So the Will Wright thing wasn't all I had hoped it would be. I didn't think he had anything monumental to announce since they had already revealed to the public the release date of Spore, but I was still hoping for more than just a normal lecture. Granted though, Will's lectures are anything but no…

So this is my 7th GDC, and never have I had a worse day of scheduling snafus. Not only did I miss out on my first session due to overt laziness, not only was my second session mis-printed or something, but my third session actually took place yesterday at the time it was put in my calendar for toda…

Teh internets is slow [sad]

I'm sitting in the XNA Lounge in Moscone North waiting for the Introversion folk (Mark, Tom, Vicky) to all show up so we can sit down and chat. Since I missed their presentation on Mon due to the IGDA chapter leaders workshop, they agreed to chat with me on what the prese…

So I had my interview where I met with the two principle ladies behind Greenlight Jobs who are interested in writing content for the website. Obviously any of you looking to land a position in the industry can take notice of this when it comes along hopefully in the next few months. Obviously the q…

It seems to be becoming a nasty habit of mine to oversleep one day at GDC - usually a Wed or a Thurs - out of simple exhaustion. Although granted my usual blissful 6 hours of sleep was somewhat interrupted last nite since the ops team (and the Rhino) were all crammed into Lissa's room until the wee…

Sitting at the table on floor 3 in West Hall right after my last entry I ran into Vicky Arundel from Introversion and Stephane D'Astous, the General Manager form Eidos Montreal, who's working on the upcoming Deus Ex 3 game.

So then I checked out the expo over at North Hall - for those of you who wer…
