Cliff Bleszinski from Epic Games

X08 is pretty different for me than it is for most.  Typically, attendees fall into two different groups; people who are showing off their games and the people who are there to play them.  Myself? I’m there pretty much to meet people and network.  Yes it’s true, for me the games are secondary.

In fact, X08 marks the first X0 event where I’ve even picked up a controller.  I made it a point to get there early enough that I’d have time to play games in between conversations and I’m very glad I did because X08 was, by far, the best in the entire series.  No contest.  I guess the high-lights would be:

• Meeting everyone that I met! Fans, friends, gamers… they were all awesome.
• Meeting Cliff from Epic Games
  
• Meeting Donna from Electric Playground
  (I still feel bad because our camera was a little screwy and we had to take three pictures before it worked right!)
• Getting interviewed by Jake for I.X.
• Going to dinner afterward with the community

Of course, an X0 wouldn’t be complete without a few games. Read on, my friends.  Read on.
