GDC08 as retold through food

Among the few guaranteed assurances that come with GDC, one is perhaps the most constant: in the precious minutes you have to eat -- assuming you have any minutes at all -- you will cherish whatever sustenance you can cram down your gullet. It is with this in mind that we decided to snap pictures of (almost) everything we managed to eat this week, thus bringing the masses one step closer to really being there. Without further ado, enjoy the various foodstuffs (and the many, many sandwiches) of GDC.

This must be part of the series, GDC08: Stretching a Week-Long Show into Two Weeks of Coverage.

Sorry Joystiq - I had to.

Seriously, with the shakey-cam videos and huge buckets of non-stories, this GDC coverage has been very disappointing.
It left me hankering for a traditional news outlet who substitute quality for quantity.
Joystiq has been providing us lots of things which are the equivalent of: FIRST!!!111

I would love to be a game journalist so I could go to a game conference like one of these. However, the pay is so small, there is no way in hell I would ever be one.

Um ... burn?

I wasn't trying to single you out, and like i said, you have a "dream" job. However, I assume you aren't taking in more than 40k from joystiq, which sucks.
Unless its a part time gig.

rv: I'm no game journalist, and I went to GDC this year. I'm kind of a hobbyist / indie game dev though, hehe. :P

Fernando Rocker: Feb 25th 2008; 3:28PM

Save some food for a joyswag... =p

DangerMouse: Feb 25th 2008; 3:29PM

mmmmmm, frosted dog shit.

Richard Mitchell: Feb 25th 2008; 3:34PM

Is *that* what that was? Glad I didn't eat it then.

Paul: Feb 25th 2008; 3:29PM

And what the hell is wrong with onions? Onions rock!

You know who hates onions?

Jack Thompson, that's who.

Fernando Rocker: Feb 25th 2008; 3:31PM

I love onion!

Vince UK: Feb 25th 2008; 3:33PM

Cheese and onion sandwiches and crisp pickled onions is all you need in life.

finnith: Feb 25th 2008; 3:37PM

Only the devil and Jack Thompson don't like onions. And it has yet to be proven that they are not the same person.

rv: Feb 25th 2008; 4:05PM

Onions are good.
Scallions are great.

ThornedVenom (Ludwig Defense Force): Feb 25th 2008; 4:49PM

In Soviet Russia, Onion loves YOU!

Fernando Rocker: Feb 25th 2008; 3:32PM

By the way... I saw all the pics... no tacos? =(

deaftly: Feb 25th 2008; 3:36PM

That bacon looks amazing.

Shagittarius: Feb 25th 2008; 3:36PM

I'm waiting for the 'GDC08 as retold through male prostitutes' article.

Jerk Face: Feb 25th 2008; 3:44PM

Man, I am so god damned hungry now.

Brinstar: Feb 25th 2008; 3:50PM

I was actually pleasantly surprised by their vegitarian options all last week. Yum.

Brinstar: Feb 25th 2008; 3:50PM

boots555: Feb 25th 2008; 3:57PM

That burg in pic 3 looks like poison, who the hell ate that thing.

Shagittarius: Feb 25th 2008; 4:01PM

You must not have In n' out burger where you live.

Evan: Feb 25th 2008; 4:07PM

Jesus, you sound like someone who was picked on by onions as a kid...

Chance Morgan: Feb 25th 2008; 4:11PM

I thought you were being too nice to the onion when you called it the bastard of vegetables.

Minus Onions - FTW!

ThornedVenom (Ludwig Defense Force): Feb 25th 2008; 4:52PM

Next-gen food suppresses the rumble in my stomach.

GDC as told by my cat:

Mills and Boom: Feb 25th 2008; 6:05PM

I hope there was an EAT or GBK near there. I couldn't have gone otherwise.

That and having to pull out of IGF because of a last minute publisher deal.

arleigh.sandoc: Feb 25th 2008; 6:27PM

As someone who grew up and still lives in and around San Francisco I will say that their choice of the Grand Cafe was a good one. I'm surprised they didn't try the other restaurants in the vicinity like the 5th Floor.

AlexP: Feb 25th 2008; 6:57PM

nom nom nom

Gaddes: Feb 25th 2008; 6:59PM

Argh... all the delicious GDC food I wasn't entitled to because I only had the student pass. ;________;

Adam: Feb 26th 2008; 3:01AM

Your American bacon is dodgy, was all the GDC food free?
