GDC Blues
So I went to the GDC. It was two days of rather dull meeting people and one day (wed) of complete insanity. It wasn't that the people I met were dull, it was just so laid back Monday and Tuesday.
Anyway, I went to the IGF Awards and the Minna Mingle and met a lot of really cool people!
Of course, I got nothing done on the book in that time :(
BUT... on track, IGF AWARDS...
I wont give everyone a summary of stuff they already know. Instead I will relate the following story:
Of all the speeches given at the awards ceremony for BOTH the IGF and the GDC, including the Darwinia team dropping the F bomb on stage, I found it incredibly ironic that the best was given by a man who created a game about dropping anvils on rabbits.
Oh, yes, Jake and his Dodge that Anvil game gave a speech along the following lines:
"When I set out to create Dodge that Anvil it was my goal to create the best anvil dodging simulation ever made. I don't know if I achieved that goal, but this award tells me I am on the right track."
Oh, so awesome it gets a link in my blog. www.rabidlab.com to play Dodge that Anvil!
And now- back to editing.
