Pictured above is all the swag I procured from the GDC08.  I must admit, GDC has better swag than any convention I’ve ever been to, including E3.  Microsoft was just handing out wireless 360 controllers if you let them scan your tag.  Easy as that huh?  Well I’ve decided to start giving my swag away [...]

I played Lair today and the controls wouldn’t work.  Why?  They reconfigured it for analog use.  Now you can choose which controls you like.  It’s too bad so many Lair owners balked at the innovation.  It’s still good to have a choice.  The patch will be available sometime in March for download.

Someone slipped me an invite to the CCP/White Wolfe Party tonight.  It’s supposed to be the hottest party at GDC.  I didn’t know why until I showed up.  I guess it’s an S&M themed party.  They had girls all over dancing in cages and on poles.  The girl pictured above was my favorite.  I named [...]

They had Wii Fits out at Nintendo’s booth today.  I figured I’d give it a try.  Now you must know that I’m 6′4″, 355lbs.  I know the Japanese version is rated at 300lbs, but supposedly the American version of the Wii Fit is rated at 330lbs.  I gave it a shot anyways.  I stood on [...]
