rob morrisongame developers conference: sort of awesome written by geoffrey on 02/23/08
i’m back from the gdc in san francisco, and while it was educational to learn about my industry (i’m a professional game writer) and how to improve my craft, i wouldn’t describe the event as “awesome” (like comic con and fan-oriented conventions). it was a lot like watching the commentary track on a good movie.
in case you’re curious, here’s some reporting i did for our friends at siliconera. i blogged on some of the stranger things i saw:
- the unoffical new guitar hero game
- miyamoto’s weird weight obsession = wii fit
- an mmo debate that practically lead to a fistfight.
and here’s some more recommended gdc reading for vidiots:

You’re a strong writer Geoff, I like the Miyamoto’s weight obsession one ^^

thank you, andyoyo. my guess is miyamoto is the kind of guy who comes to your office and says, “make a game about toe nails,” and then everyone has to do it.

knowing Miyamoto, he’d find a way to make a toe nails game successful :D
