GDC08: The 9bit indie games party

We went to the Cellar (the same location as last night's Telltale event) for the 9bit indie games party, a crazy confluence of independent game developers doing what they apparently do best: crushing me with their sheer numbers. Seriously, the intrepid Joystiq crew was neck deep in the best and brightest.
Hundreds of game developers mingled and enjoyed beverages while a DJ, dressed in Mario regalia, played loud, thumping, yet also nerdy music (like the obligatory Portal, remixed with an even nerdier 8-bit beat). We captured a small portion of the brilliant throng in the picture above. Check after the break for another view.

Skwisgaar: This is a complete and total, you know, sausage festival.
Toki: I love Sausage Festival.
Skwisgaar: What?
Toki: Like in Vienna.
Skwisgaar: No, no, Toki that was a sausage festival.
Toki: Yeah, that was good.
Skwisgaar: Yeah, it was a Vienna porksaus - uh, no this means that there is no good-looking ladies to put you-know-what inside of them.
Toki: The sausage?
Skwisgaar: Yeah...

Thank you for that. Honestly just made my day. I love Metalocalypse. When I watch it, I think of Gwar so much.

Anytime.
And ... well, the event looked fun from the pictures... but yeah, definite lack of females seen though. Hence the comment.

Yeah, Mobius. Sounds dope. C'mon Joystiq, you should have recorded it for us all!
