So I was riding up the escalator earlier today to the third floor when I happened to glance over at the IGF booths, since I knew I would be hanging out there later, taking shots of the teams at their booths. So I was looking down, when I noticed a tall, black figure standing at one of the booths, p…

Since there's not a lot of handouts during the first two days of the conference, I've combined them for my first graft grab post.
Highlights include the MS folio in the upper left, this year's Developer Day handout. I just signed up, grabbed it and ran - didn't feel too bad tho since it was 4pm and …

It seems that an innocent pineapple serving as a decorative center peice became the victim of a brutal slaughter tonight at the FierceDeveloper party.
Mike Sweeney (CheapAssGamer), with an evil glint in his eyes, prepares to tear into the hapless pineapple while Dan Brady (NJ Chapter) looks on with.…

I swear upon all that is holy that what I am about to tell you is completely true - no lies, no embellishments. This is not some gimmick or anything of mine. I still can't beleive this happened. The odds?!? Good lord... Anyways, as I was walking from the Havok party to the FierceDeveloper party, a …

It was around lunch time, and I was walking towards the Press Lounge, when all of the sudden people started screaming. I looked around and saw a couple of people pointing behind me. I turned around and saw... what the heck did I see. It all happened to fast... luckily I still had my camera out sinc…

Yes folks, this is me and Aaron (Wavinator) up at 1am working so that all of you sitting at home in your comfy chairs (actually... this chair is pretty damn comfy) and sipping your coffee or some such energy drink, can enjoy the goodness that is GDC. This is despite the fact that we have to get up …

Okay, I managed to rectify some of my earlier mistakes in not taking pictures. You'd think I'd know better by now [rolleyes]. So here are faces to go with some of the names I mentioned earlier (and some I didn't)
Jeff Ward - AKA Warden
Here's Chris Oltyan (far left), Dustin Clingman (center) and Jeff…

Well, I've been here for all of 6 hours and I've already run into a ton of people: Dave Weinstein (Red Storm), Francois Dominc Laramee, Rudy Geronimo (IGDA), Jason Della Rocca (IGDA), Dustin Clingman (Full Sail), Wade Tinney (Large Animal Games) and many more. I wish at the time I had thought to ta…

Dave, being the evil bastard that he is [wink], took a picture of me sleeping on the couch in his and Kevin's room at the Westin. My room doesn't open until tonight so I had to bunk. It was actually pretty damn comfy on that couch, so don't listen to a word he says [smile]
He's lucky that I didn't h…

So here we are at Moscone West (pronounced Moscoknee), sitting in the Press Lounge and waiting for the tutorials to start. They got us in a snug little corner here on the third floor... with windows! Ahhhh the sun!! Nooooo!!! I suppose they have us sequestered away in such a manner in order to prev…

So I just noticed today that my journal made Mushu's vaunted Approved Journals of Awesomeness list. I'm honored [smile]. Makes me wish I had some cool pics to post today, but sadly my camera has been quiet of late. Not to say that I have as well! Tuesday was of course the crazy gym night, I was jus…

So I got to drive the car home today. Hallelujah! It was a bit of a challenge - there was bumper-to-bumper traffic on the ramp to go back over the George Washington Bridge. I got flustered a bit and stalled twice - luckily I didn't roll back into anyone :P Still getting the hang of easing off the c…

So it is officially the eve of me getting my new car. I'm driving up tomorrow morning to pay the guys and claim the Tiburon as my very own. My dad and I closed on the loan today and got the car under temporary insurance today as well, so that will hold me until the guy pays off Capitol One and clea…

So I haven't been around GG much in the past few months, which is why I missed out on the early stages of Torque 2D development. I just found out about it in the press release I got about it being previewed at DesktopSummit. I was immediately intrigued, since I've always been a fan of GG (Hell I st…

Man, it's been a while huh? I feel kinda bad for not keeping this journal updated more often, but it has gotten a bit busy. It ain't getting any slower either [smile]. I'm still scrambling to get all the IGF interviews done (not published, just done) before GDC, so that's taking up a lot of time. N…

So we held auditions today for this season's Batman show at Six Flags. It was a bit dissapointing, turnout wise. We just had some of the cast from the Darien Lake show up by Buffalo show up - no local talent at all, which was pretty weird, since last year I heard we got a bunch of people from NYC a…

Damn am I wiped out. Too many early days this week. I'm so tired I couldn't even read all the journal entries before mine like I normally do. I got to Stro's and then gave up, cause my eyes wanna close. So sorry about that guys.
By tired, I don't mean it like, for example, I'm tired of game developm…

So I realized that I needed a new gadget in my life. I still want to build my desktop system but my new laptop will suffice for a good while. My first impulse was to get a PDA, like the Dell Axiom. I have an old Handspring Visor but the thing is pretty much useless now - its charger is on the fritz…
January 27, 2005
So I got my Creatrix interview done tonight - tomorrow it's RocketBowl... and then a break over the weekend. Yey. Prob have more scheduled for next week by Sunday tho. I think this time last year I might have done like, 2 or 3 interviews - this year I've already done 7 (well, tomorrow it'll be 7). …
January 26, 2005
So I was too sick to do much of anything over the weekend, besides play lots of Deus Ex of course. Some nasty cold hit me hard, and the flu seems to be going around too. As one of the coaches put it today, we do indeed work in a giant petri dish - I'm surprised I don't get sick more often, given th…

Well okay, not too oldschool. I popped in my SimCity 4 CD last night - the first game installed on my new comp - and spent a while getting back into it. It's actually pretty cool in that a lot of the games I played like two or three years ago I played on a crappy computer that could barely handle t…

So I had a court appearance tonight to settle the issue of a speeding ticket (85 in a 55), and I arrived 30 mins late because 1) I had work, and 2) these things take forever and a day anyways, so why bother being early? Of course, the way things are run in this court (completely different than the …

I neeeded to seperate the comp stuff from the "other stuff" [smile]
So I got my KDS CD storage tower today - whoo hoo! I plugged it in and spent some time punching in numbers and watching it pop open empty cd trays. Quite entertaining let me tell you [wink] I'm going to have to pick up a USB cable t…

Nuther night at the gym. This time we played... I dunno - there really isn't a name for it, so I'll just call it Superman. You'll see why in a second. Anyways the gym has two inground trampolines side by side, and then a third black one (the same type of tramp used for at-home …

Well I almost managed to get everything done tonight that I wanted to get done. I didn't even start tweaking out XP yet, because after I finished my maintenence (see previous entry) I got down and dirty (literally - there's sooo much dust in my room) and reorganized my desk and wiring to account fo…
January 16, 2005
So I'm just about done setting up my laptop. I finished moving all mt files off my old laptop last night (this morning actually, if you want to get technical), I just defragged it a little while ago, and now I'm finishing up my Spyware and Antivirus scans. Nailed a few suckers that managed to creep…

Well I'm finally almost up and running on my new laptop. It's taking me quite a while, mostly because I'm still doing work on the old laptop while setting up this one and that's when I'm at home and not at work or out socializing. But I just finished setting up Outlook today - t…
