Ugh! GDC is just too damn big. I started to piece together my schedule for the week of GDC - working to balance meetings, lectures, press interview and of course, parties. Going over the conference content, I highlighted over 75 sessions that I’d like to attend. And, the schedule grid only has about 15 slots to work with! Aaargh….

And, to top it all off, the censorship panel I’m on with Assemblymember Leland Yee has been scheduled against Eric Zimmerman’s Game Design Challenge. Not only will it be the first time I miss the Challenge (arguably one of the best recurring sessions of the GDC), but it pretty much guarantees we’ll have an empty room. Mind you, I shouldn’t complain too too much, as we were originally scheduled against Will Wright’s keynote. Luckily, we got moved away from that audience blackhole…

At least I have no conflict with this year’s rant session. Chris Crawford on a soapbox?! Should be fun.
