I'll be at the FunPlus booth tomorrow almost all day so feel free to come by! We are hiring artists
I might come by Lefty's tonight with a couple people. Anyone going to the baseball stadium tonight though? I think that's what my group is doing. Anywho let me know, my in-real-life name is Julio Nicoletti and I'll have my badge and a striped purple shirt.
Yeah, the lurker thing is really strange for me. It feels like the majority there were lurkers. Like nothing against them as people. But to me meet ups are to meet the people you have had conversations with on forums for years, while lurkers are kind of the distant onlookers. But then again i don't think making it limited would improve the event. Like some super exclusive PC posters party.
Also i sat in the gamespot lounge tonight and met a bunch of the giant bomb crew. PARTY.
Not to be a debby downer, but the meet up was not that great. It was hot and musky in there, i knew a lot of people who left early because of it. definitely needs to change to a different venue.
I somehow missed the meetup AND missed every expo thing I wanted to see. Utter shame and sadness envelopes me... Glad you guys had a great time though!
i was only there for a beer and a dry sandwich, I sat by some guys from Trion. Had to go to another party, so on my way out I took a blury picture, o well better than nothing, for those that could not make it, you can get a idea of what it looked like.

There's this one super cool place called Local Edition. It's open and you can hear people talk which is awesome. Would recommend/10
Also all you lurkers should post more. You know who you are!
Someone also didn't manage to bring a single name tag...
:poly124:
Now I just need to power through this hangover, and pick up my card which I managed to leave in the bar...
HUGE PROPS to the dudes who organized the event!
It was awesome meeting everyone, great stuff! Is there going to be any greentooths at Pax East? Will there be a thread???

pretty much the same at the Polycount forums for the lurkers that is
Good times were had
Next year - definitely name tags. I don't mind printing them out myself.
cheers
But otherwise, easily the best night of GDC for me
Mira took a bunch of these as I was dead tired after working the booth, many thanks to her!
