It does not involves a pool, bunny girls and bathrobes?

You're invited or you'll break in by the glass roof?

No WoW? That's terrible...

"it's where game developers from all over the world get together"

Wrong, I'm not going...
Maybe next year ?

Say hi to Louis XIV for me.

We re-animate his body every year for advice on racing games.

So, when you're there, keep an eye for some German guys from an German Game-magazine... equipped with an Ipod+mic to record interviews... oppertunity knocks... well,... probably not.

If Boris (Schneider) will be there, I can't tell. (and if you still know him, teh)

i hope i get to meet you there then :)  i'll keep my eyes peeled.

Will you tell us the secret of monkey island there?

Needless to say, I won't be playing much WoW this week

I was hoping you'd say: "I hope I'll get some sort of green light on my risky new video game."

And if it doesn't work-out, for the love of God do something publishers actually like, sell, get money, do the risky project.

Except I think you're an atheist now, so do it for the love of anything else you like.

Didn't mean to double-post, thought I'd correct the statement.

You and you're double posting habit :)

There should be a federal law for "edit" buttons.

I apreciate your designer vision... You know how to make good games, and MI is there just to prove that...

So, you could do a relly good comercial game, in your hands, it could even become more artistic... So, wy not? Make it, get money, and start your risky project.

Perhaps you could just say something meaningful the first time.

But, then, I've read other comments from you so that's probably out of the question.

Yeah, this guy sucks

I can only hope that all the assistants will have already read THE GAMER'S MANIFESTO:

So Ron, what do you think about LittleBigAdventure? Does seem very interesting in my opinion :)

do'h... i mean LittleBigPlanet ofcause :P

It's no shame. We're all waiting for LBA3. We're all brothers here.

Now there is a great game I'd forgotten all about!

The sequel had a pretty capable game engine to go with it too - Twinsen's car handled better than most driving games at the time...

Heh, LBA3 the stellar entity...
Maybe someday. I'm rather well placed to know that ;)

It'd be nice to see anything from the likes of Adeline again...

very nice picture
very funny
thankss...

Wig-guy!?

That picture, sir, is the greatest polymath (and metaphysician) of the past 1000 years! Gottfried Leibniz!

Co-discoverer of Calculus?

Bane of Spinoza?

...Anybody?

sigh

It seems like Mr. Spector stole more than a line for today's speech at GDC from your blog, Mr. Gilbert!

Dude, I was there! I didn't see you! :(

However, I did meet the former LucasArts gang including Dave Grossman, Hal Barwood, Noah Falstein, Tim Schafer, and Peter McConnell...

Hmmm, GDC... That's where Spore developer Chris Hecker decided to call Wii as piece of sh*t, because it somehow limited his almighty creativity due to slow GPU, slow GPU, slow everything. Well, he started backpedaling faster than you can say "firing notice", after the story took off on the net.

His comments are quite funny, considering how creative developers were back in the day on Amstrad, C64 and Amiga, that didn't have much power compared to Wii.

His comments becomes outright hilarious, when one look at the creativity/ideas in games for the Wii because of the motion-sensor. Compare this to XBox 360 or PS3, where we only see run-of-the-mill "gangsta games", with higher resolution than last year. Yay.

That's what makes GDC great.  Everyone once in awhile, we still get some idiot shooting off his mouth, convinced he's "showing the man" what the truth is.

Back in your cube, Chris.
