Sorry for the lack of stories today... Had an early flight to PAX, including a mid-day change of planes in Detroit.
I'm in the cab at the Seattle Airport, and will get some GP goodness posted a little later...

E. Zachary Knight: That is absolutely nuts there. As bad an experience XBox Indie Games was, the problems weren't with the self published side of things. Forcing a publisher onto independent studios is not going to help.05/22/2013 - 10:43am

Re: Traveling to PAX Today
Hey Dennis, if you come back through Detroit again, here's what you need to do:
Find the monorail. Go to McDonalds. Get some burgers, nuggets, whatever. Go to monorail, ride back and forth while waiting for your flight. A friend of mine did this and pretty much watched human interaction at its finest for three hours when our flight was delayed once.

Look for the guy wearing the purple dinner jacket and black hat with a bunch of "hello my name is" stickers :D I'll buy you a drink :D
Re: Traveling to PAX Today
Lucky. I wanted to go to PAX. :(
Re: Traveling to PAX Today
Stop by the Flying Lab booth and say hi to the guy dressed as the British Naval officer. :)
Re: Traveling to PAX Today
I was wondering how long it would take you.

Re: Traveling to PAX Today
Have fun. Let's hope PAX won't be the disappointment that E3 was.
Re: Traveling to PAX Today
I don't think anything could have been more of a disappointment than was E3 was this year.
Re: Traveling to PAX Today
We love you enough that it's okay, haha. I had to flush my computer and reinstall my OS. So I am still in the process of reinstalling all of my software... (FTP, Firefox, web/game dev stuff, games...)
My freakin ethernet wasn't recogized by my OS, so I had to go online with my girlfriend's computer and download the driver... it still wont play sound yet... This computer is nearing it's end as a primary machine after 5 years and minor upgrades (more RAM, but thats it)... Pretty damn good for a PC if you ask me. I have only seen Macs last longer... One at my work is 8 years old, no upgrades...
Time to build a computer... NewEgg, here I come!
Anyways, have fun man, let us know of your travels. In a year or 2 I'll prolly see you there.
