I’m visiting the US this week for GDC. It’s the first time I’ve attended in the last two years, but GDC never really changes. This year I actually gave a talk, which was fun, though I had so much work to do that I barely had time to visit any sessions. If you’ve written to me in the last, say, three or four weeks, I probably didn’t get back to you because I was crunching hard on getting my talk done. Sorry. I’ll write back, I promise.<\/p>\n
I didn’t see anything horror-specific this year. I tried to go to both of Richard Rouse III’s talks, but both of them were closed due to popularity. I did have a chance to hang out with Richard for a bit, which was cool. I told him that he should watch this video<\/a> about Deadly Premonition, which really does look like it’s in the running for greatest game ever made. I also bumped into Akira Yamaoka and Goichi Suda this morning, which was kinda neat. Yamaoka remembered me from the last time we spoke (what, 3 or 4 years ago, right after Silent Hill 4<\/a> came out). I told him I’m still waiting for him to do a talk on Earless Hoichi<\/a>.<\/p>\n
