I finally met <a href=\"http:\/\/www.tokyopia.com\">Tokyopia&#8217;s<\/a> famous <a href=\"http:\/\/www.greggman.com\">GMan<\/a>, I chatted briefly with <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mobygames.com\/developer\/sheet\/view\/developerId=48285\/\">Akira Yamaoka<\/a> (more in a later post), and Tuesday night I ended up at a party in <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Iwatani_Toru\">Toru Iwatani&#8217;s<\/a> hotel room (he&#8217;s produced over 50 games, but you might have <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Pac_Man\">heard of this one<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>Some of the sessions this year were interesting as well.  Keita Takahashi&#8217;s talk on <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Katamari_damacy\">Katamari Damacy<\/a> was pretty interesting, and really enjoyed a talk about the realtime movies in <a href=\"?p=5200000\">Resident Evil 4<\/a> (more on that later).  There were some neat technical sessions as well, which apply to my day job as a games programmer.<\/p>\n<p>Between the people and the sessions I attended, GDC 2005 was a lot of fun.  I&#8217;ll post more info on some of the horror-related things I learned shortly.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I spent all of last week at the Game Developers Conference in San Francisco.
