The Indie game awards and game dev awards were tonight did anyone watch?
I was there to war the back center along the aisle

Portal 2 won alot of awards. Skyrim won game of the year. People thanked the lawyers who worked on the supreme court video games case. Mega 64 was funny. Other stuff.

Me personally at GDC today, got alot of cool stuff played some new games, kid Icarus for instance, some games in development. Saw again notch and Jeb and the other mojang guy with the beard (talked to them last gdc before full release). Talked to Kompressor a bit about things not related to shadows (though I threw in a "good luck on destroying the bedroom" which he seemed kinda awkwarded out by but went along with anyways" . Met Robin Walker I believe is his name from TF2 fame. He gave me tips on ways I could join Valve through work as a designer, what sorta things catch their attention.

It was a busy yet fun day.

Where does it take place? I'd love to go to it some year, but I've never remember.

San Francisco, usually.

I think the European ones are held in Germany.

Never understood how Skyrim became popular, before it was revealed you'd be called a nerd for mentioning the other ES games, like Oblivion.

Kompressor should have a booth that's just an empty flat space with a single lamp on it while he turns it on and off with an evil laugh

I'm talking about the "HURP WORLD OF WARCRAFT MINECRAFT DUNGEONS AND DRAGONS HURR" nerd stereotype, not that kind of nerd.
