GDC 08: ready for GDC 2009?

GDC 08: ready for GDC 2009? screenshot

While you may be lying in your hotel room this morning wondering if your hangover is actually normal or if you need to go to the ER for alcohol poisoning, somewhere CMP has been busily assembling the details of the next GDC. Either they never drink, or they had their guts replaced with robotic parts so they could still get up and do things the next morning after industry parties that actually require real thought. How do they DO that???

Anyway, GDC 2009: same time, same place next year. The dates announced are March 23rd-27th, so it's just about a month later for next year. Another month to recover from liver damage! That's terrific, thank you CMP. Although GDC 2008 has been amazing, i'm sure Destructoid's staff can agree we don't even want to think about GDC until 2009. At least you can pencil it into your calendar early.

[Via Develop - thanks, Justin]

Does this mean that Dyson got over his irrational hatred of CliffyB? Or was this the cause of said hatred?...

CTZ looks like he's about 10 seconds away from killing everyone in that photo.

That "fakey" looking laugh that serial killers have to try and make you more comfortable, thus slower and easier to kill.

Hamza will eventually get us all.

We are doomed.

chad looks likes he's one of those people that will never age. and that's like almost the exact same look as his icon. he's still gonna be saving dolphins when we're all dead and gone.

Man... I can't wait 'til next year now. There's always something to look forward to when it comes to the videogame industry.

If I'm at UC Berkeley next semester, I'll be at GDC next year.

If I'm at UCLA next semester, I'll be at a beach next year.

Either way, I win!

"That guy bottom center"? You mean Ron Workman? He's obviously looking at Cliffy B's penis.

he's clearly looking at it so hard, the 4 people on the right hand side of the picture are all having an orgasm. plus chad (i'm pretty sure that's what his 'O' face would look like anyway)

Were there any good looking women at GDC? Looks like a big sausage fest.

So, if everyone was supposed to show their "O" face... Why is CTZ laughing? Is that normal?

This is shoddy journalism. This image is from E3, not GDC. Fail. :D

Having it in February really fucked things up this year. I'm so glad it's going to be in March next year. I went last year and liked it, wanted to go this year but a) couldn't afford it and b) the timing was bad. Now I have over a year to save up for it!
