28 febbraio TriXie Goes to CollegeThis Saturday I'll be doing a presentation about community and stuff at UCLA as part of a graduate school conference called iFutures: Systems, Selves, Society.
If you live in the LA area, and can give up your Saturday morning cartoons, I'd love to see some friendly faces in the crowd. I'm super nervous and would definitely appreciate the moral support!!
Here are the details: It's from 9 - 10:30am at the Northwest Campus Auditorium on the UCLA campus. It's free to get in, but there's some sort of parking cost.
If you can't make it, do you have any advice for me? Besides picturing the audience in their skivvies?
26 febbraio GDC bookended by barfI was a bad little blogger at GDC. I should have blogged things as they happened, and now it's been a few days. So, here are some memorable um … moments from this year's Game Developers Conference:
18 febbraio Ghosts of GDC's PastWell it's GDC time again and I can't help but wonder (ooh did I just have a Carrie Bradshaw moment?) what sort of trouble I'll get into this year. We have a GDC blog on Xbox.com, but my boss says I have to keep it clean. You want the real dirt? Here's where you'll find it. Here are some dirt highlights from the past three GDC's:
2005 Microsoft Party
BTW the 'coraltini' and 'fin and tonic' at the Aqua party were good, but the 'Dev Punch' was better--tasted just like Kool Aid. And this morning, I feel like it was Jonestown Kool Aid. Oy. 2006 Sony Party
The partygoers? Besides a contingent of Xboxers doing recon there were boys, boys, boys. All of whom had to fly by and staredown into PMS Tart's cleavage. Oh, and why am I awake right now? Some as*hole from Atari drunk text messaged me at 3:30am and I can't get back to sleep!* 2007 Microsoft Party
Seriously, I totally love my job and there are great people, but how many hours can you be pinched, groped, and ogled before you get pissed off? The answer is three. The last straw was when a random dude from EA Canada stuck his tongue down my throat! My big Xbox bros Mark and Mark said they'd have him thrown out, but I don't need that kinda trouble. Anyway, off to San Francisco tomorrow morning with a plane full of dotcommers: Major Nelson, Video Monkey, piX3lmonkey, SoozyQ, and editer. Watch this space!
*I still less than three the Atari a-hole though his hole is no longer at Atari. 16 febbraio Oh yeah, I'm an American IdolAt least on my Xbox 360 via Karaoke Revolution presents American Idol Encore. I played the short tournament (8 songs) and won, and then was mystified and annoyed when i didn't unlock the American Idol achievement. Maj had confided that he had the same thing happen and we wondered if it was broken. But NO... you have to play the FULL tournament which is 18 freakin songs, plus suffering through Randy calling you "dawg", Paula emoting, and Simon being all.... Simony. (For the record I have never watched the show. Not. Even. Once.)
But finally, I was most triumphant and unlocked that bad boy for a whopping 50 Gamerscore!

13 febbraio Community Confidential this weekCheck out this week's episode of Community Confidential on Inside Xbox. Vicious696 is my special co-host and we tell all about what's happening in the Xbox community this week.
We shot in the lobby of the O Hotel in downtown Los Angeles last week when Video Monkey and I were there for Grammy stuff. Let me know what you think. Do you like co-hosts? (AceyBongos was on last week) Do you like simple ones shot in the studio or the 'on location' ones?
