GDC Day 2

Awoke this day wondering why the hell there weren't more hours to sleep, I was pretty sore still from the night before (not from drinking but from all the walking and talking). We ended up at the Moscone center after another quick breakfast at Mels Drive In.

Day 2 was a real challenge for me as Adrian and Ed ended up in various meetings that they had setup as well as were introduced to thanks to the fine folks at Multiverse. So my entire day was spent on my feet talking to people who stopped by the booth, which oddly enough were a lot of developers who happend to be walking by and liked what we were doing (which included an executive VP of a larger gaming company whose specialty was making MMO games). I also got to meet a lot of additional press guys and more investory type people.

By about 4pm though my body had had enough, my legs were hurting and my back was in enough pain that I actually paid attention to it. Thankfully I was relieved from the kiosk by the return of Adrian and Ed from meetings, so I sat my ass down at the nearby meeting area in the expo and just tried to veg out.

Once the show was done we headed out for another meal, this time with Justin, who was feeling alot better, in tow. After a quick meal we got a rather impromptu invite (aka cute girl on the street corner) to a private party that was taking place around the corner for an up and coming MMO game called Fallen Earth. I didn't get all the information, but from what I gather the guys are making their own MMO and MMO tech about a post apocalytpic, Road Warrior type world that looks not too bad. I kind of wish I paid more tech by my body was pretty hurt by this point from all the standing and combined with the exhaustion I just vegged out.

Once that event was done Ed dragged us down to the White Wolf party that was some ungodly distance away from the Moscone at an a wierd Industrial Metal bar. By this point I wasnt too eager to be at the place, combined with the fact it was shoulder to shoulder with people with a crappy Vampire theme going and some boring go go dancers in those elevated cages. I wasnt too pleased with people bumping into me so I headed back for the hotel. Thus ending my crappy day.
