David Jaffe to present keynote at GDC Game Career Seminar
On the Friday of this year's Game Developers Conference, the Game Career Seminar will offer a series of speakers and roundtables aimed toward students hoping to break into the industry. Kicking off the event will be David Jaffe, who will be delivering a keynote speech entitled "From Grunt to God to Startup: Career Lessons from the Edge of Development."
Jaffe will be discussing his own history in the industry, starting from his earliest projects and lowliest jobs, to his own indie studio, Eat Sleep Play, where he's working on several unannounced Playstation 3 titles. Though infamous for his matter-of-fact approach, Jaffe is also a dynamic and engaging speaker, having previously participated in GDC events like last year's Game Design Challenge. It will be interesting to see what advice he has to impart upon the wide-eyed developers of tomorrow.

...because you could always rewind back in time when they do.
which is why he was completely out-classed by other developers at that mtv discussion a few years back?

He is as dynamic and engaging as a child with Turrets syndrome doing Shakespeare's Julius Caeser in a high school auditorium.

I am going to be at GDC and while I normally do not give a crap about what he says ever, I may wanna peek in to see if anyone is going to say anything negative about his methods. After all, this is the Game Developers Conference, not the Online Fanboys Circle Jerk. Seriously, you should have seen the reaction at 06 when Microsoft announced DX10 is Vista exclusive, or when Sony said they could not show their shit on the big TV because it was not HD equipped.
BOOOOOOOOO!!!! *throws crap at speakers*

As much as I dislike Jaffe, I'm sure he'll have some good advice for up and coming indie developers.
