Morning All,
Andy here at early-o'clock preparing to leave for our first day of GDC. Edie and Kevin will be attending the next four days of the event (assuming there are things worth spending four days seeing) and so we'll be tossing up stories as we deem the relevent. Today we're mostly booked seeing upcoming games on the PC and XBox360 since (as usual) Microsoft is the only of the console manufacturers who bothered returning our many phone calls.
On the agenda for today, we're attending talks, demos and hands-ons re:
Bioware: Mass Effect
Hironobu Sakaguchi: Blue Dragon
Peter Molyneux: Fable 2 (we assume)
Turn 10- Forza 2
Funcom - Age of Conan
XBLA and Casual Games
XNA Team
MSGS: Halo 2 for Vista
Additionally, I'll be sneaking in to a round-table discussion on next-gen RPG's.
Beyond that, we had hoped to gather some of the press and industry luminaries at the event for a podcast giving impressions on the events of the day, but unless we can convince someone to give us a couple of chairs (From what I'm told, a commodity more valuable than gold pressed latinum
Should we fail, we may retreat to a restaurant and bust our proverbial move in the grand ol' style of Roscoe's Chicken an' Waffles. Engineer Kev is with us for the day, so fear not chappies - the quality will be uber. Joining us on tonights cast will be (potentially others) the infamous Joe from SPOnG, who was previously on episode 14 of GAL. Thats right. The one that never aired.
So buck up brave reader - And if there are any spots ya'll want us to stop by this week to give you some personalized reporting, hit me up at andy@gamerandy.com
