GDC 09 Bootlegged

Hey guys!................... I WAS @ GDC 09!!!!!.......

Just in case you were uninformed GDC stands for Game Developers Conference. I met a lot of famous..........semi-famous indie game developers like Daniel Benmergui (I wish I were the Moon) and Alec Holowka (co-founder of Bit Blot and Infinite ammo; as well as the lead programmer on Aquaria!). I randomly took a picture with Alec as if it was nothing. He didn't seem too pleased to take a picture with a random black guy..... that, or he was just having a long day LOL!!




















Oh yeah... and Cactus (aka: Jonatan Söderström) !!! He was the funniest guy there! If you dont know who this guy is you need to check out his games! Hes best know for his ability to make really awesome games in a week down to a few days! One of the funniest things I saw at GDC was Petri Purho's (developer of Crayon Physics Deluxe) desktop wallpaper. It was a picture of Cactus with a comic style talk bubble over his head that said " While you were slacking off I made 4 games!" Anyway, check out this snippet from Cactus's lecture/tutorial/funny as hell thingamuhbob!




A long with this video I have like 100 other videos of the IGF lectures and tutorials as well as what went on at the Expo, IGF and GDC awards. In other words...... I HAVE A BOOTLEGGED COPY OF GDC09!......randomness....

And just to add to the randomness, I'll end this blog by showing you a picture of me laughing at the fact that I can't button up my dress shirt because my neck is too fat ROFL!!
