Revvin' Up

I'm starting to get really excited for the Seattle Interactive Conference. I've already decided which presentations I want to sit in on for Wednesday. I don't think I'll be able to catch any on Thursday since I will be volunteering at the conference that day. That's how I was able to get around the $350 price tag.

Here's what I'm thinking in terms of my Wednesday lineup:

  9am: Beauty, Constraint, & the Atari 2600
10am: UX/Design Panel
11am: Meme & Miasma (maybe)
 1pm: Mad Woman Panel
 2pm: Pencils v Pixels
 3pm: Making a mess

Speaking of the Atari 2600, Ed Fries (who will be the speaker for that session) is the creator of Halo 2600, which I'm totally addicted to at the moment. Why am I such a sucker for online games? I think the reason why I'm so drawn to this particular one is because it doesn't include a social component like other online games (Empires & Allies, Puzzle Pirates, etc.). I feel like that usually lowers the quality of my gaming experience because I suddenly have to depend on a stranger to get to level x.

Alright, enough rambling. I'm gonna go play some Halo 2600.
