Our trip down to LA was incredible! EA paid for 4 pimped out escalades to take us down to the show. We felt like a hip hop posse rolling down the freeway. They also picked up the tab for some fancy pants food and a TON of drinks. I really have to detox over the next few days before I come home! :DThe show was a blast. It was way less embarrassing towards game developers than previous shows. Still kind of goofy... but these are supposed to be less like the Oscars and more like the MTV Movie Awards so it's totally ok. Here's the AMAZING setup for the trailer that Jack Black did for the game at the show! He also hyped it EVERY CHANCE HE GOT while on stage. It was really great to be a part of this whole thing and the internet buzz feels very positive!
I got to meet Rob Halford in person on the red carpet, and I saw Neil Patrick Harris from about 10 feet away. We also saw Christian Bale eating breakfast with his family in Santa Monica at the same restaurant that we were eating in. Holy crap Batman/John Connor was eating eggs in my presence!
Plus I got to meet and talk with a lot of different game developers at the after party. I got to chat with the guys who made Little Big Planet, plus the director of God of War 2. Really great! I also got to hang out with Scott and Ryan... super fun times with those guys... hadn't seen them in a good long time.
The trip was a total success although they should really have the next one in San Francisco. LA is just too far away. Now we just have to make sure that the game lives up to JB's lofty words. :D
