GDC 2008, Day One Wrapup!
February 20, 2008 4:22 pmYou can check out Jeff Gerstmann’s blog for an idea of what I did with my first day of the 2008 Game Developers Conference, or you can check out these sweet video vlogs!
This first one was recorded at Moscone North, right before Rob Pardo spoke about the multiplayer philosophy of Blizzard’s games.
And then this one was recorded at Henry’s Hunan, the best Chinese restaurant in the known world.
Now I’m in the Sony blogger’s lounge, and I think I’m going to call it a day. But before that,
BREAKING NEWS: GameTap’s Giancarlo Varanini is eating four pot stickers. More news on this situation as it develops!
MORE BREAKING NEWS: There’s apparently no audio in these clips. Use your imagination, and feel free to submit your own audio track! Peace!

I substituted a bunch of African Folk music and a kick drum over you guys. Yeallp.

Ryan, how long did it take iTunes to publish your podcast? I submitted one a few days ago and they confirmed they are reviewing it but haven’t told me it can or cannot go up yet.
February 20th, 2008 at 5:26 pm
If I only could read lips….. Damn why are’nt I deaf!
February 20th, 2008 at 5:42 pm
Ah man, was looking forward to some content from you guys. It’s not the same without sound!
February 20th, 2008 at 5:55 pm
These vlogs are too cool to have sound. Because if they did, they would literally blow you away
February 20th, 2008 at 6:04 pm
The fact that there were no shots of tiger-ade chugging disappointed me much more than the lack of sound…
February 20th, 2008 at 6:08 pm
No sounds sucks, but it is video proof that the GDC has been invaded by rogue freelance ex-gamespot employee’s.
Nicely done, and good luck to you gentlemen.

Ok, it took me a while, but I know what they were saying.
In the first clip, they’re apparently talking about combs and brushes. Crazy? Yes. But here me out. You see, all of them have hair, right? So they’re talking about not having enough time to brush their hair thoroughly since they had to get up early. Alex comes in and says that since his hair cut is so low, he can be classified as borderline bald, so he doesn’t nee to brush his hair.
In the second clip, they’re talking about the food and the lousy service. Apparently some guy served them their dishes and said, “Stuff your faces and get the f#%k out”. Jeff says that the guy was so rude and didn’t add a “please” at the end.
And..I may be wrong but, towards the end of the video, Ryan says that he refuses to use untensils and then says something about chopstick overlords and their alliance with the dark spoons. O_o

<__>
I usually watch with the sound off anyway…
February 20th, 2008 at 7:48 pm
Bummer about the audio.
February 20th, 2008 at 8:21 pm
Nice vlogs…when you get the time, plz post the videos with sound..don’t need to be right now..i’m pretty sure there are better things to do..cheers
February 20th, 2008 at 8:21 pm
My imagination leads me to believe that both clips are somehow about pizza bites.
February 20th, 2008 at 10:25 pm
That potsticker NOMNOMNOM was pretty fucking epic.
+1 on Henry’s Hunan, by the way.
February 20th, 2008 at 10:30 pm
[...] Ryan, Alex, and I recorded some videos using Ryan’s laptop, but he didn’t have the sound configured correctly. That means you can make up your own words! You can see the videos on Ryan’s media outlet. [...]

I read their lips. It’s a hidden message. It says: _______ _____ _______ _______ _________ ______ ____ ____ _______________ ____ _________ _______ ______ _____!!!
February 21st, 2008 at 2:54 am
It would be really sweet if you could get out some proper video tomorrow. Thanks for the effort though

I’m looking forward to tomorrow’s vlogs. Sound would be very appreciated as few of us can lip read, Ryan.

That vid in side the Chinese place makes me want General Tso’s….mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
February 21st, 2008 at 10:14 am
Erm, where are the videos?
February 21st, 2008 at 10:31 am
I can’t see the videos, either. Host them on YouTube !
Maybe you’ll start a channel there.
February 21st, 2008 at 1:31 pm

February 21st, 2008 at 3:58 pm
Hahah “A Wild Navarro Appears”
February 21st, 2008 at 6:39 pm
Nice to see Ryan, Jeff and Alex as a trio again… memories…
February 21st, 2008 at 6:54 pm

Jeff keeps saying A+, A+, A+ repeatedly… is it some sort of morse code.
