Going to GDC

Lucky me, in a couple of hours I’m off to the Game Developers Conference. I should probably sleep, but I can’t. I’m too excited. Not that much about GDC, but because I have two new games on my computer that I can’t really play until I get back from San Francisco. The first one is World of Goo’s Chapter One and the second game is Audiosurf. I pre-ordered both of them and they both were released right in the middle of this GDC travel mess that I’m trying to sort out.

If Kyle and Ron had released all the chapters to World of Goo, I would have probably just said “Screw GDC, I’m staying home playing World of Goo and Audiosurf”. Lucky for me they didn’t.

Anyway if anyone reading this will be at GDC, come by the IGF booths and say hello. I’ll be there playing World of Goo and Audiosurf. I also have my own game there that I’m supposed to be demonstrating and representing. But to be honest I’d rather just surf through my Fantomas collection, which I’m planning of installing on Dylan’s computer as soon as he moves away from it.

Oh and didn’t get the Grammar Nazi update done in time. I blame Tim and his interview! :)

  3. ron Says:

  4. The Happy Friar Says:

    I got world of goo too. Awesome. Absolutely awesome. :D I want to try the audiosurf demo before I get it. Smash Bros. comes out next month & my birthday is this month so don’t want to overdo the game thing. :D

    Rip off or collaboration? They even use the same music!

    Even in the worst case, it could be interesting to have some agreement as they seems to have more resources. Maybe they acted bad, but they are a small company.

    Try to avoid lawyers, they are the evil of the world…

  7. Corvus Says:

    I’m super excited about meeting the minds behind all three games, so you’re sure to get a visit from me as well.

  8. Jsticker Says:

    Haha, have a fun time at GDC. The MONOCLE KIND OF FUN TIME.

  9. petri.purho Says:

    @annoyingmouse: It’s a rip off. The worst kind actually. I don’t want to tell all the details, but it’s pretty awful.

  14. Chase Says:

    Congradulations on winning the big prize at IGF. You should change the Crayon Physics website to winner of IGF instead of finalist. If this game won that award than I can not wait for the official release. Good job

  15. Casey Says:

    im sorry but seriously when is crayon deluxe coming out???? im so impatient!!!

  16. Ninja Says:

    Congrats on winning. I love audiosurf. Me and a friend have been sharing remixes of already fast techno songs. Man, that game can get tough.

    I finally tried out Crayon Physics, great game. The level I had the hardest time with was the DK level. But once I found out you can “die” and the level won’t restart everything.

  17. Morris Says:

    “He has an acceptance speech he wrote on crayon, and he shows the paper to the audience: “Fuck Yeah.” Great speech!”

    Congratulations, Purho. My only wish in this life is to have something this badass written about me:

    Hope he comes back and whipes the field. I won’t be holding my breath for it though, seems he has given in to this distraction. He needs to just ignore the whiners who don’t like him. They didn’t like him before, and this just gives them MORE reasons to dislike him. That’s fine for them, more reason to come back and clean the field, smile all the way to the bank.

    Thanks for the posting. I have usually seen that many people are desirous to lose weight simply because wish to appear slim and attractive. Nonetheless, they do not continually realize that there are additional benefits to losing weight also. Doctors insist that fat people are afflicted by a variety of illnesses that can be instantly attributed to their particular excess weight. The great thing is that people who’re overweight and also suffering from diverse diseases can reduce the severity of their particular illnesses by simply losing weight. It is possible to see a slow but noticeable improvement in health if even a small amount of weight-loss is realized gywl56.

    One thing I would like to comment on is that weightloss program fast may be possible by the perfect diet and exercise. Someone’s size not only affects the look, but also the overall quality of life. Self-esteem, depression, health risks, as well as physical skills are affected in excess weight. It is possible to make everything right and still gain. In such a circumstance, a condition may be the culprit. While excessive food rather than enough work out are usually accountable, common health concerns and popular prescriptions can greatly enhance size. I am grateful for your post right here gywl512.

    I have noticed that of all different types of insurance, health care insurance is the most marked by controversy because of the issue between the insurance policies company’s obligation to remain profitable and the consumer’s need to have insurance cover. Insurance companies’ commission rates on well being plans are low, therefore some organizations struggle to make money. Thanks for the ideas you reveal through this site.

    Thanks a lot for the helpful post. It is also my opinion that mesothelioma cancer has an particularly long latency time, which means that signs of the disease might not emerge until 30 to 50 years after the first exposure to mesothelioma. Pleural mesothelioma, which can be the most common variety and has an effect on the area throughout the lungs, will cause shortness of breath, upper body pains, including a persistent coughing, which may result in coughing up bloodstream.
