Which is good news for you, the reader, but precisely the opposite for the poor developers that have to suffer our obscure questions, grating complaints and hideously broken social skills. It is the Game Developers Conference, after all, and not the Incessantly Whining Bloggers Conference (which totally sucks, FYI). Still, if the bustling city of San Francisco wishes to blame anyone for a recent invasion of laptop-wielding lunatics, it would have to point its sky-scraping finger straight at you. It's your fault, you know.
It's your fault that we'll be here covering every aspect of the conference and your fault that you'll be reading constant updates throughout the week. You're also to blame for our early trip to an empty Moscone Center and the resulting post and image gallery. We hope you're happy.

Welcome to SF! I'm going to be at the show most of the week with a media credential. Will you guys all be wearing matching Joystiq jumpsuits if I want to say hello?

I'll be there covering the event as a member of the media as well. Can't wait!

You guys had better find out what Clover/Seeds/Platinum Games have cooking this time!
If you don't, I'll...um...kick Justin McElroy square in the nuts if I ever meet him.
We'll get that on film, too.

I'm surprised they let the media in, the name sounds to me more like something just for developers to learn more about game development, not to make announcements and toot the company horn. Ah well, I'm sure they'll be good news out of it.

The Joystiq folks can correct me if I'm wrong (this is my first GDC), but the last three days of the show feature an expo and numerous seminars/keynotes that are a bit more general interest in nature. The first two days look pretty geared toward developers, but it seems to open up a bit after that.
Also, the gaming press uses GDC as a place to conduct a lot of developer interviews and check in on various projects. It can be handy to have so many industry sources in one place at one time.

Nice! Are you guys in any of the pictures? It seemed like maybe Ludwig and Chris were in two, but from back and far.

Why would we be upset? It means that Ludwig is in a place where the internets can't be eaten by (insert animal native to South Africa here) and provide us with more awesome posts.

Man I hope Nintendo announces a new Zelda. I know it's unlikely but I'm still looking forward to it.
