Hey all,
we're done with GDC and have a podcast (shorty) from tuesday going up tommorow along with some general impressions and in-depth commentary of the event this weekend.   I was only able to attend for two days, and have been busting my hump catching up on work for the rest of the week, so sorry if this is a bit late

In the meantime, heres the video of me being kinda a jerk at the Microsoft Blogger Breakfast.    I tried my hardest to ask tough questions, and I think that this was a huge improvement for me personally (from a journalistic "being an asshat" standpoint) over last year.   What do you think?

I'm the guy in the knit cap.

My little camp at Oakland International Airport as I deal with my phone not working.

Alright, I've calmed down a bit from when I wrote this blog the first time. This isn't gonna get posted until I'm actually at the event, so it's not much of a live-blog -- but, yeah.

So I got up this morning at around 7 a.m., headed to the airport at 9 a.m. and my flight leaves at 12:55 p.m., arriving in Burbank at around 2 p.m.

Why all these numbers? Why all this time spent in airports?

Because I, Gamer Andy, am on a mission.

My mission is to blog the crap out of the official Nintendo Wii launch party taking place tonight at midnight. Depending on the crowd when I get there I may end up in line and try to land one for myself, but more importantly I'm going to be there all goddamn day as the eyes and ears of our generation. The Gamer Generation.

Big N has promised me access to some of their special peoples for interviewey goodness, and I discovered (as I packed up this morning) that I still have Edie's magical Tape-Recorder-Of-Awesome-Journalismness. It's got fresh batteries, I've got a nice five megapixel camera and the means to transfer photos. The only restricting factor is gonna be wi-fi, which I've been told, will be made freely available to me upon my arrival.

The plus side? It can only get better from here.
