nothingness.ca<\/a>) joined me and our trip didn’t start off too well since our plane was delayed about 5 hours due to a faulty parking break on the plane. On top of that I had recently gotten some kind of sinus infection that started with a big bump on my forehead and a puffy eye, and it was starting to puff up again. So I ended up passing out pretty quickly on the plane and slept almost the whole way there. It was kinda nice.<\/p>\nWe got to our hotel, the Good Hotel, (seriously, it’s called the Good Hotel and they want you to know it!), and had a couple laughs cause of the decor. Everywhere around the hotel there’s a reference to ‘good.’ In fact we were sitting there talking and Tim noticed something and flicked the lights. Above the bed in glow-in-the-dark stickers was the phrase “good-night”. Also, above the bed are signs that say “Be Good.” Yep it’s everywhere, it’s kinda funny. I like the hotel though and the rooms were much bigger than i was expecting for the price we paid, at least they were bigger than the ones last year. But the downside… the area around has gotta be the sketchiest area EVER! It’s really not a safe area at all. Unfortunately for the hotel, I really wouldn’t suggest anyone to ever get a place in this area.<\/p>\n
Saturday we took a walk down the street on a mission to find some pirate store. I was thinking I may need a pirate patch to cover my puffed up eye so it wouldn’t scare anyone away. Heh, if anything it would be a conversational eye patch, cause who doesn’t love a good pirate…arrrr. Well like I said, the whole area we were in was super sketchy and there’s people hitting up on the streets, but we managed to walk through and find the coolest pirate store called 626 Velencia. All proceeds go to language classes for kids as well so how could go wrong. Seriously check out this store! I was extremely impressed with the ‘authenticity’ of the place.<\/p>\n
Today, Sunday, we register to get our GDC badges and get prepared for the awesomeness that’s gonna go down the rest of the week. I’m sure it’s gonna be an absolutely great week again, and I’m looking forward to tons of fun. If you see a guy with a pirate patch, that may just be me, so don’t forget to say ahoy matey.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
Well it’s that time of year again when copious amounts of game developers all show up in one city to eat, sleep, and play games; that’s right it’s GDC 2012 in San Francisco time.
