Title: GDC 07 Post by: DataGod on November 14, 2006, 11:59:32 AM Well I'm registering pretty soon......
Anyone else registered yet? Title: Re: GDC 07 Post by: Stephen Zepp on November 16, 2006, 01:03:09 PM GG sends a crew, as always. E3 was never huge on our list (we sent 2 people last year, while we sent 14 to GDC), but we'll have some fun stuff to play with.
Title: Re: GDC 07 Post by: CmdrSlack on November 28, 2006, 09:34:03 PM I am hoping to go. However, it's the week after the CA bar exam ends, and I don't know if I can afford to fly out there and back twice AND pay for admission to GDC. Sucks too, cause a friend of mine is giving a talk and I wanted to check it out.
Title: Re: GDC 07 Post by: Velorath on January 16, 2007, 09:46:21 PM Ichiro Otobe of SquareEnix will be giving the opening keynote at GDC (http://ps3.ign.com/articles/755/755634p1.html). Looks like Square will also have some demos and stuff there also.
Title: Re: GDC 07 Post by: Velorath on January 22, 2007, 10:29:29 PM And now they've announced that Shigeru Miyamoto will be doing a keynote at GDC as well (http://www.gdconf.com/conference/keynotes.htm).
Quote "A Creative Vision" Shigeru Miyamoto is perhaps the world’s most recognized video game developer, creator of industry icons like Mario, Zelda, Donkey Kong and Nintendogs. In addition, he is the behind-the-scenes engine of innovation for many other notable Nintendo breakthroughs. In his keynote address at the 2007 Game Developers Conference, Shigeru Miyamoto will reveal how a singular creative vision drives his work, not only in terms of his world-renown software, but also in generating key technologies, including the current global phenomena, Nintendo DS and Wii. And he will challenge the audience to apply his approach in their own distinctive styles. Title: Re: GDC 07 Post by: Yoru on January 22, 2007, 10:57:53 PM I'll be there. It's too close to my office to not go.
There will be drink. Oh yes, there will be drink...

Sadly I have no free time or cash to cross the continent to get there. Have one for me. Title: Re: GDC 07 Post by: schild on January 25, 2007, 05:19:16 PM Fuck that. It's all about seeing Suda 51 speak. If anyone goes, I want a goddamn liveblog beamed to my brain of his speech.
Title: Re: GDC 07 Post by: Samwise on February 05, 2007, 06:27:30 PM I have successfully wrangled myself an exhibitor pass for the 8th and 9th (Thu-Fri). Downside: I won't get to go to any of the talks and I'll be trapped at my booth most of the day. Upside: I'll be getting paid to be there instead of having to take vacation time and pay for a ticket.
Luckily I've already met both SZ and Yoru so I'll know who to throw gliders at. :evil: Title: Re: GDC 07 Post by: Yoru on February 26, 2007, 11:33:51 AM For anyone else coming to GDC, I'm going to have a little unofficial meetup on Monday night (the 5th) for the entertainment and enjoyment of locals and earlybirds alike. There's a nice lil' bar near the convention center that happens to have a live open-mic music night on Mondays, and there's usually a couple really good acts sprinkled in.
PM me if you're interested and want directions. I usually head down around 7-7:30, music starts at 8. Title: Re: GDC 07 Post by: Hoax on February 27, 2007, 11:33:46 AM I lol'd

Eh, my schedule is like 20 fing pages thick, when is he speaking? I'll be live blogging it to our sites news stream (truely a secksy customized news reader, but its still closed beta) as well as the external blog which everyone can access, I can stop by and get the goods for you mon, I got the wallet crushing GIGA (but it is a tax write off :) so I should have access to the talk wherever it is.. Anyhow I'll be there all week, so if anyones looking to knock a few back let me know :) Title: Re: GDC 07 Post by: schild on February 28, 2007, 06:33:03 PM I've actually got coverage now, but thanks for the offer.
Title: Re: GDC 07 Post by: Yoru on February 28, 2007, 07:13:19 PM I've actually got coverage now, but thanks for the offer. I think I can get a laptop, man. :) Title: Re: GDC 07 Post by: Hoax on March 01, 2007, 09:21:32 PM So who/where/when is someone in the bay area from f13 buying me a drink? Or was that all a dream?
Title: Re: GDC 07 Post by: Yoru on March 01, 2007, 09:39:33 PM So who/where/when is someone in the bay area from f13 buying me a drink? Or was that all a dream? Yo. PM me. We'll do some boozin' whenevs. At least, whenevs you want to come to San Francisco proper. Title: Re: GDC 07 Post by: DataGod on March 10, 2007, 07:41:21 PM Dont drink with Yoru, he waits until your stupid drunk then takes pictures of you.... :evil:

Title: Re: GDC 07 Post by: DataGod on March 11, 2007, 10:54:58 AM eh, must still be drunk from that CCP thing, cant seem to even post correctly :)
Thanks for showing me around! Title: Re: GDC 07 Post by: Murgos on March 14, 2007, 08:21:21 AM We going to get some write ups?
Title: Re: GDC 07 Post by: Yoru on March 14, 2007, 11:03:36 AM We going to get some write ups? There's one already on the frontpage (the Garage bands one is about GG). The others are coming; I came down with the Australian Death Flu for a while, and was barely able to sit up, let alone transcribe audio. Title: Re: GDC 07 Post by: Samwise on March 14, 2007, 04:02:09 PM I was thinking about jotting notes on a few things I saw on the exhibit floor that looked cool (I didn't get to go and listen to talks or anything like Mr. Fancypants with his shiny badge), but my interest in them was mostly academic and not directly applicable to the gamer at large. Plus, they don't show off anything top-secret on the main floor so it'd mostly be information that's been widely available for a while already. If you want to hear about it anyway, though, I can write up a little bloggy somethin-somethin.
Title: Re: GDC 07 Post by: Murgos on March 14, 2007, 06:30:35 PM Yeah, just a few general impressions of stuff you saw would be nice. The information about specific details you can just refer off to the intarweb but unbiased opinions are always helpful.
Title: Re: GDC 07 Post by: Samwise on March 15, 2007, 08:07:48 PM Fuuuck. I had a decent little writeup all good to go and then, through a stroke of hebephrenic stupidity so masterful I can't describe it on a public forum, lost it. So just click here (http://www.gamasutra.com/features/20060317/simons_01.shtml), here (http://video.google.com/videosearch?q=kynogon), here (http://www.multiverse.net), and here (http://www.novint.com/falcon.htm). I'm going to go get some dinner and then maybe hang myself.
Title: Re: GDC 07 Post by: Murgos on March 18, 2007, 02:54:58 PM Thanks Samwise,
Sorry about the write-up, I appreciate the effort. Title: Re: GDC 07 Post by: Samwise on March 18, 2007, 04:58:03 PM Half of it you kinda had to be there for anyway. :-P Do check out the Kynogon demo videos (http://video.google.com/url?docid=7653713389251671169&esrc=sr1&ev=v&q=kynogon&vidurl=http://www.youtube.com/watch%3Fv%3DajdzxsL_NIE&usg=AL29H21zygB3FfiRYBKV05rnCBeg77sHtg), though.

Title: Re: GDC 07 Post by: Yoru on April 30, 2007, 01:46:49 PM I swear I'll get around to finishing the transcription one of these days. I've been ridiculously busy, and buying a PS2 hasn't helped. :oops:
