While GDC was busy celebrating its quarter-century birthday, I was busy myself celebrating a decade of GDC attendance. My first GDC was back in 2002 and it’s been an awesome ride ever since. People who have never […]

First Vancouver Trip
May 10th, 2010 · 2 Comments · Personal
I was extremely excited to finally get out to Vancouver for the first time, not just to attend GDC Canada for GameDev.net, but to visit the city itself. The region around Vancouver is very beautiful in my opinion with all the evergreens and mountains and snow-capped peaks. Seeing it during the Winter Olympics only bolstered […]

So I had a pretty great weekend prior to GDC this year, thanks to having to take a trip up to Sonoma to visit my family out on the west coast. I have 4 cousins, an aunt and an uncle all living around the San Fran area and usually one of them picks me up […]

Doing my part for the IGDA
March 5th, 2010 · 1 Comment · Personal
Lifetime Membership When my IGDA membership expired last month, I decided to renew with the Lifetime Member option. I had been doing some speaking out in defense and support of the organization, so it’s only proper. That, and I have truly benefited enough from the IGDA to make the investment worthwhile besides. There’s nothing really […]

Transposed from Gaiiden’s Scroll The past four weeks or so have been a roller coaster ride – many loops, twists and all that nonsense. I came back from GDC with my head on backwards while walking sideways. I remember telling people that I would have more free time after the conference was over – pfssshh […]

GDC Post-Coverage – Days 2 & 3
March 14th, 2007 · No Comments · GameDev.net
Transposed from Gaiiden’s Scroll Man I don’t know what the hell it is, but writing up coverage on this year’s sessions and posting up pictures felt like such a drag this year. My theory though is that I’m just not used to having to do all this when I’m home. Usually I have like, just […]
