E3 productivity?
polycounter lvl 18
I'll admit it, I'm sitting in a quiet, empty office, most everyone gone off to E3, and while I should be enjoying the kinder, gentler environment and getting piles and tons and great wobbly clumps of shit done, I've actually accomplished fuck all.
Maybe it's post-crunch malaise, but honestly, this crunch wasn't all that bad for me. I've certainly been through worse. Most likely, I'm just in screw-off mode and the usual incentives to break out of it are away in LA!
Anyone else stayed behind to be productive and found that it's just ... not ... working?

I'm still getting work done, but not much. Been watching conferences and updated videos most of the day.
In all fairness to myself, however, I did work straight through from Friday morning until Saturday afternoon on an E3 crunch for a client.
Kinda.
So yeah, slacking off a bit, but still making the most of the downtime.

What is the most impressive/exciting thing everyone has seen from e3 so far ? For me ...
Lair looks f-ing hot !
Mario Galaxy is going to be the shit...
Zelda and metroid on the Wii
Learning Halo 3's footage is real-time ..wow !
crysis and Lost planet look really good also
Disappointed by lack of Mass Effect coverage & were is Dragon Age ?
I was still productive today but I took care of some of the things that theres never time to take care that aint hi priority and I spent some time putting posters up of the new work we'd gotten together for E3 and I caught up on the press releases of other games like Halo3 , MGS4 , Lost Planet etc...

Yah, I did odds and ends around the office for an hour or 2, then spent time reading the net.
Me and everyone else in my office loves Gears of War
If you're planning on infiltrating a korean nuclear plant, conserve your ammunition and take it slowly.

Dude we got anxious, then got owned
Proabably easier now that I don't have all the distractions from other people playing games and goofing off.
(just started another day in an empty office, trying to decide if I should work on "real" work or my polycount demon contest entry...)
