Who else is going? Who else would like to meet for a pint? I'm going to be down there on the Friday (and maybe the sunday) at the careers fair and taking a look around the indie arcade.
Also, no way in hell I am missing the Art Director of Deus Ex: Human Revolution give a talk about the game!
So yeah, anyone up for a mini meet? There's also a Rock Paper Shotgun meet happening in the evening if anyone fancy's a larger crowd.

gonna meet with friends in the evening but will definatily be around most of the day if any form of meet does happen
If you can make the pub meet, or if you want to meet up for lunch on sunday, drop me an email and maybe we can sort out a meeting spot or trade numbers.
It's looking like it could just be two or three of us, but that will just make our impending bond of friendship even stronger!! *sniff*
Hopefully I will bring along other games people, but everyone's a bit wishy washy on this.
Speaking of which ill be wearing my Quakecon2005 shirt if anyone does bump into me, only person in the place to wear one surily!!....would wear the classic(text) Polycount shirt but its beginning to fade, should upgrade to the Greentooth version really
Maybe see soem of you around later!.

Mop I totally name dropped you to get talking to a splash damage guy :poly124: -I was in a pub full of people I didn't know, and saw someone in a SD tee, so I sidled up and was all 'You might know someone I met once!':poly122:
Turns out he was Ed Stern! He was really nice (and repeatedly complimented you by the way!)
Did you get to play the game? If so, I hope you didn't have to queue too long - I heard the Brink queue was pretty much the longest one in the show... and not because we're slow at turning people round!
But! We queued for 40 minutes(!) and watched the people ahead of us playing a full 20+minute game that looked ace! Then we sat down and got our ass handed to us in 5 minutes, never really leaving the spawn
Edit: oh I spoke to someone who was a journalist for shacknews, It turns out she had read polycount a fair bit before, and when I told her the Ed story she lit up with oh yeah! Mop! that guys stuff is amazing!
You are well known!
One of the highlights for me was seeing some random guy on Rock Band 3s new guitar controller where you have to actually play all the proper chords and stuff, on expert, almost flawless. he was INSANE!!!!! its like those guys that could pick up the rock band drums for the first time and 100% master of puppets on expert straight away.
Dead Space 2 must of been the prettiest game for me, the event horizon style reactor/gyro thing just blew me away, so cool. Gears 3 and bulletstorm were awesome, nice to see colour in gears of war and not just browns and greys, playing as one of the big boomer dudes with a meat cleaver was cool
3D TVs were around alot aswell, wasnt too impressed if im honest, maybe the seats were too close but personally I found it quite hard to focus on things and I only got to play on motorstorm apocalypse with it and the graphics were a bit blocky which didnt help. But I think the setup for the 3DTVs was all wrong, there was glimpses of coolness.
Fable 3 looked great aswell, Character art is soooo much better now
