My Week With the VWorlders

Category: Asides, Site

I’m now in San Jose, hanging out with friends and having met up with my wife. I’m officially on vacation from now until thiscoming Friday, but I can guarantee that the upcoming week will be more postful than the previous. Though my posting speed at Joystiq and Massively was not what I wanted it to be (I am not a great liveblogger), I pretty much spent the last three days moving non-stop. I’m going to work to get all of the great content on my harddrive onto the internets - which will annoy my wife to no end, I’m sure. (She’s now going “Wait, what?”)

I just wanted to note that in-between running around and going to sessions I did get the chance to spend some time with the VirginWorlders - Brent, Brendan, Darren, and Troy. I roomed with Brent and Troy (and Brendan, one night) for the week. Aside from Brent’s master-class snoring, it was a great experience.

As with every GDC everything I didn’t write down or record with audio is a blur of memory -

  • Drinking with Brent at the Francis Drake lobby bar talking about the future of the Collective.
  • Raph’s passionate, cynical, downer of a WIM keynote.
  • The amazing dinner with the crew, Hartsman, and Lady Sinea.
  • The turning down of duck tongue fried rice by weak souls at a Chinese place.
  • The future of MMOs panel - best thing ever.
